[b:Magic Slays|8559047|Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5)|Ilona Andrews|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1288727226s/8559047.jpg|13427398] has a poignancy and genuine darkness that was a change from the preceding books in the series. Unfortunately,it also has some problems, for instance the complete ignoring of everything that happened in Magic Dreams. That being said, Kate shows vulnerabilities and weaknesses that made her a far more believable character. The villain was of a sort I had been waiting to see since the main construct of the series was introduced. The tension between Kate & Curran was more believable than in the past. Overall, perhaps less enjoyable because of the afore-mentioned darkness, but a better book. 4 stars just for that.

Whirlwind action and tear jerking happenings. Kate steps up and kicks arse big time. She confronts enemies from outside and inside the pack, with style. Curran, what a man, he does not let her down. He loves her and believes in her and nothing will change that. There is sadness and death, a dear one is lost, another one is hanging on the edge. Did I mention tears.. because the authors have twisted my heart all over the place again, and I loved it. The book is an amazing addition to the Kate Daniels series. I already want to re-read it.

Read in 3 hrs. Ok hmmmm I was kind of annoyed at this one. I like my heroes to be invincible and unique. First the knee slowing her down. And then the end ritual making her not unique

I can't put in words how much I love this series and Kate and Curran. The same goes for side characters, especially Ascasio. Only minus was ending. It wrapped up pretty quickly otherwise amazing.

I probably could have finished this If I hadn't read the comments from the rest of the series and how annoying the characters become there.
