This book does not require "romance" tag frankly speaking.
I was planning to read next book in the series but I read negative reviews of it and realized that Curran is the main romantic interest and since I dislike him, I don't want to invest my time. I liked Nick better, at least he respects Kate unlike lion boy who quite often invalidates her. I read some reviews for the following books in the series and it seems like not only he gets better, on the contrary he became more of a douche. No thank you.

Mentions of beastilaity, use of the G slur (used in the main text to describe MC's appearance) and the R slur (used in the first bonus chapter to describe MC's behavior).wickedgrumpy's review against another edition

It's a solid start to the series. I had forgotten how gruesome some of the content can be but it effective paint the picture of apocalypse adjacent times.
The mystery was exciting though knowing the culprit made it a bit frustrating when they were trying to figure out who the baddie was.

to say it plainly: kate daniels in a bad b*tch! i love her narration, her perspective and especially her one-liners. she's intelligent but still has her blind spots, and her mouth gets her into a lot of trouble. the side characters are just as vivid as our bada$$ heroine. curran is an a$$hole, yet i can't wait to see how he becomes a worthy partner for kate. i love slow burns; i'm already invested in this one. my only other point of criticism is that like many other female-led fantasy novels, kate appears to be lacking in female friendships other than her few correspondences with anna.
the world of kate daniels series in over 10 books long, so i don't doubt there will be ample opportunity for said relationships to develop. this is me, preparing for the long and entertaining ride ahead!
