Omg SWOON.
Now that the world building was done in book 1 the plot and characters really came out to play and I loved just about every character!

Wow this series is pretty entertaining. Finished in one sitting. Not what you expect at all. The main focus the past few books has been on Kate's character development and the relationships she creates with people around her. I loveee that. Her relationship with lil Julie is honestly so heartwarming.

I think most other people were right when they say that this book really helps you understand what's going on in this universe. There were parts of the first book that really confused me with the magic, the tech and all the other things that weren't fully explained. This book, I got a better idea of what was going on and I actually really enjoyed it. What I like about them is their unique perspective on things like vampires and shifters. But god damn it, I want some information about Kate! I feel so in the dark about her. Grrrrr. On to the next book.

Good character and world writing. Bad mystery. If my protagonists are solving cases, I like my plots to be follow-along-able/theoretically-solvable rather than minor-internal-mythology-newly-revealed.

I'm re-reading the Kate Daniels series, and I think I'm enjoying it even more the second time through. I think it helps having finished the whole series and just knowing and loving these characters and this world. The one thing I didn't like about this one was how quickly Kate started calling Julie "her kid". It's like, she met this girl two days ago and wants to protect her (I get that), but she's all "they took my kid". It was just too much, too fast.

Original review:
Started so slow that I began to wonder if I wanted to just quit this series. But it got better and better, and I loved the epilogue. I'm definitely not quitting.
