tiffiny's review against another edition
2.0
I'm continuing the series only because there is potential here, but to be honest there is a huge plot hole in this book that I just couldn't forgive. Spoilers ahead:
Shortly after meeting the guys, the FMC wants to try to get some info to bring to them in order to gain their trust. This has her using her ability to look at a ledger in the Big Bads office. In it states why the guys are her marks but it also says that she is to be killed after shit completes the hunt in order to tie up loose ends. This would have been fine....except she's apparently a weapon for someone of a higher power. The 2 Big Bads want her power to transfer to another person. Supposedly someone is easier to manipulate. Except our FMC -was- easy to manipulate until she met the guys and why would she be killed after completing her hunt if they still needed her for her powers? So getting the info from the ledger was not only useless (she didn't even use the info for the guys) but also not in line with the overall story.
It seems to me that the two authors who worked on this book didn't really communicate the finer points to the story at all. There's a lot of other things that really run the star rating down for this book too. Mostly as we get no information as to -why- the FMC chooses to try to be with the guys and for someone 'so smart' she really likes to stop and think at the worst of times.
I'm really not sure about this series.

I didn't understand why she was so quick to turn traitor on her organization -- like yes, shortly after she is proven correct in doing so, but the initial betrayal made no sense to me. So, the fact that the guys don't trust her makes 100% sense, yet she's angry they aren't already ride or die, like ???? really? Plus, they are training her... why does she need training... they literally all worked for the same place, they should the same-ish skills that are magic-related.
It was all just way too quick for me.

Intriguing
This book was mostly good. It did have some annoying parts with the heroin being unsure of herself. It was an enjoyable read and I will give the next one a chance.

There are some issues, as other reviewers point out, with the timeline in this book. There are a couple of occasions where time kinda leaps forward and I think the reader misses out on quite a lot of the relationship building between the MCs.
But, overall I liked it a lot, and read the whole trilogy in a couple of days.
