In it’s very simplest form, the whole story boils down to how each immortal hunts it’s prey and out maneuvers the other immortals while fobbing off the threat of the three partners who will do anything in their power to stop the killing. There is a competition between the immortals (I counted 2 or 3 serious contenders, but you may distinguish more-depends your rating as to threat) as to who can rule hell. Elizabeth is a claimant and Delphine is a challenger to Elizabeth, though they are both scary as hell. Their qualifications are psychopathy, viciousness and general disregard of human life. The immortals play the long game (one of them is 24 centuries old) and it’s easy to believe that they think they are firmly in the driver’s seat. The threesome have their own networks of information and sometimes I feel they believe they are invincible. Ring is the assassin where as Risa and Wally are in the information division. By the end of the book, they find themselves challenged physically and emotionally and if you aren’t careful-and even if you are-they’ll reel you in hook, line and sinker. (Nod to Ring’s suburb fishing skill-now pass me a beer )
