So here's the thing about a series, the character become your friends...you want things to go well for them, and when it doesn't...
There were so many times, I just wanted to reach into the book and slap them all upside the head :-/ Aside from the emotional turmoil caused by Nava and Ro, this read was all kinds of good. I mean it starts with Nava and Ro kissing - we've been waiting a long time for that - having a night off, and then jumps into snark and action.
The Candyman case, along with the ongoing investigation into the purple magic leads into some interesting moments. The least of which is what's up with Nava's magic - which is all kinds of "oooooh". We meet some new folks, Nava and her mom have a moment, Nava and Ro have moments...and then there's the interesting things we learn about them thanks to the interactions with the oshka.
I'm all in with the series. But now I need the next book like in my hands right now. So many things to clear up, and get answers too...and maybe some more Ro too :p

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I was quite glad that most of the book did not focus on relationship drama in this edition of the Unlikeable Demon Hunter. We were able to focus mainly on the demon case to be worked as well as the outstanding case of who is binding demons.
Nava and Rohan continue to look into the demon binding, trying to sort out if it is the witches or the Brotherhood that is doing it. Nava braves contact with demons that could be the very death of her to try and get information. She plays things really risky and not always to Rohan's liking. We learn some interesting things about Nava. However, once again, Nava drops down the rabbit hole with her decisions and leaves me shaking my head. I have to remember that she is young and she is doing what she thinks is the best for her or the people she loves. She just obviously does not think her actions through which can be very frustrating. When it seems we are supposed to feel bad for Nava, I just couldn't bring myself to, as she just brought it all on herself knowing that she is doing stuff she shouldn't.
I thought the Candyman story line was pretty interesting. It was really original. I was also really surprised by the bombshell about Nava. Those moments really kept me involved in the story. It wasn't until Nava really goes into tstl mode that I got frustrated. Luckily it was the end of the book. The ending left me wanting to shake Nava and tell her it's all her own fault. I just don't feel bad for her.
I will continue to listen as I really want to see what happens with the witches and the Brotherhood. The next installment is probably going to be full of relationship drama, but hopefully we'll get enough of the demon hunting cases that it will be worth the listen. It is sad that I don't really like the main character much, but the side characters make it worth it. I do enjoy them. I'm also really interested in the new abilities that Nava has. I'm hoping that she'll use them wisely.This review was originally posted on Rantings of a Reading Addict
I am glad that many of the ARCs moved forward, even if it was done in a messy way, and this series is starting to do the thing I hate most in stories: drama because of bad communication.
Oh well. The rest of the story was ok, and I'm still interested enough to want to read on. Only 2 more books in the series, so it won't get rid of me this easy!
It's well written, has some pretty witty dialogues. Just like the previous books.
The world building is still intriguing and I love the new details Wilde is adding in each book.
The character building. Is okay. There are characters I grew to love and care for. I love seeing them grow and interact with each other. Well, if we talking character growth, I need to mention that it is rather a slow progress. Frankly, sometimes I find myself exasperated by the slowness. On quite a few occasions I wanted to shake- or preferably shank- several of the characters...
So while I liked this, it also took me ages to get into it. It was somewhat too similar in pace and story line MO to the other three books in the series. Yet I would have chalked it off to the fact that I had a hectic week and I was having really little time to read or get into any book, except for the romance. See the on and off between Nava and Rohan was grating on me in the last book. But the ending, kinda made it okay. Well, let's just say the ending of Carve really really doesn't. I just wanted to throw my kindle at that point. I mean, WTH?! why???
And saying that, obviously going to read the next installment. Though gotta say these two better freakn get their act together because I am at my last tether!
