Totally fine series opener?
Things I liked:
-it was a totally fine murder mystery, some of the side characters are intriguing, the twist was good and it clicks on forward! Enough to want to read the next one!
Things I didn't:
-that certain flavor of "I hate/don't understand/am jealous of/am intrigued by other women"; would love to see some additional female characters who aren't the main (or dead bodies)
Neutral:
-i am hilariously overinvested in the logistics of magic/tech worlds where the cars stop working when the magic is up. the TRAFFIC PROBLEMS.

“You know anything about investigative work?"
"Sure. Annoy the people involved until the guilt party tries to make you go away.”
Giving this series another go, as it happens, especially since so many people keep recommending it to me.
It is a first instalment, and as I have been warned, not the strongest. We get a first glance at this world where magic and technology alternate, with all matter of shape shifters, vampires, and pretty much everything in between. Kate is a compelling character, full of light and shade, and snark, a lot of snark :0) The plot wasn't bad either and introduces us to the various factions/players while featuring some pretty mad action scenes.
I did enjoy it, truly, but I still prefer the Hidden Legacy books better. I can already imagine the daggers thrown at me... It’s just that I connect more with that kind of urban fantasy. Also, I miss all the interactions between the Baylor family. I know, I know - this is probably going to develop here too.

This was SO boring. It took me months trying to get through. Romance readers on every platform gave the whole series a high rating, agreeing it has a weak first book but it gets better. I'm glad I took the recommendations and stuck with it. I love the series! Just not this book.
4.5⭐
It turns out as one of my favourite novels of Urban Fantasy, dark, action-packed, addictive. I love the characters and their evolution. Even one particular character that 'cause of his appearance u should feel scared, I mean he is a monster, his circumstances, the way he behaves, I felt close to him and sad about him being attacked.
Kate Daniels is a bad-ass but it's not perfect, she knows her weakness and ask for help when in need, she has friends and for those new friends out of her inner circle will do what needs to be done. I also enjoy that not everything turns out OK, she makes mistakes more than once (I feel that lately for many main characters in fantasy everything turn out OK too quickly and easily).
I really like Derek, when she entered the Pack for the first time

DNF @ 17%. I’m not sure what it was, I just couldn’t get into it. The dramatized audiobook seemed like it would be good but it just wasn’t for me.
