This was a fun, easy read (or rather, listen). Somehow original and formulaic, I am looking forward to continuing this series. Kate is likable in the Tough Girl way that Buffy is, and I’m eager to learn her secrets. The series feels dated, despite taking place in the future, but not in a way that hampered my experience. 



I'd give it a 3.5 actually. It was a little hard to get into at first, I felt like I was thrown into a story mid way and actually checked to make sure this wasn't a sequel. That being said, once I did get into it I liked it very much. The heroine was strong and likable (at least to me), the events unfolded in an appropriate fashion, and I appreciated her logic in most cases. Overall a good book :D

Seems like an interesting plot, but could not get through the writing. I’d reread sections and still have no idea what was happening. Had to DNF at 20% when I realized I had no idea who “Jim” was still

Kate Daniels is a BAMF and I am obsessed with her.
