Another re-read/listen.
I enjoy a good urban fantasy and this one also has a post apocalyptic vibe along with a really unique take on the regular supernatural creatures (vampires, shifters, etc). The narrator does a good job and I think she embodies the FMC well. Each book seems to have it's own storyline that is concluded at the end of the book with a larger storyline running through all the books. This book ramps up the overlying storyline a bit more than the previous ones so it seems there will be a big conflict coming soon. The FMC is a total badass as well as sarcastic and sassy. The MMC is a bit of an alphahole and badass, but funny as well. The romance is slow burn and the tension between them is hot. There is plenty of action in every book and the fight scenes are done well making it easy to visualise.

4.5/5 stars
this is my favorite in the series so far.
1. What really stood out to me was how this book read like an action anime - and I mean that in the best way possible. I really enjoyed the whole "battle arena arc" that went on in this book bc it reminded me of some of my favorite anime. The action was well described and I liked the references to Japanese history/culture.
2. We see a lot more of Kate's background and character development in this novel. This focus was a smooth segue from the focus on her interpersonal relationships in book 2. Here, we saw more of Kate growing/using her super interesting abilities/powers.
3. Was it just me, or was this book especially funny? I felt like we were really tapping into Kate's thoughts. I'm not usually a fan of first person POV, but the authors KILL it- especially with the humor. I couldn't help busting out laughing here and there.
4. I like that Kate is realistically cautious of Curran's advancements throughout this book. For her personality and her morals, the slow-burn the past few books feels warranted. Therefore, I think the romance is done a lot better than most romances I've seen in fantasy novels. I'm just not a fan of unrealistic insta-love or unbelievable/weak romances.
5. I do think that the climactic ending was rushed and slightly unsatisfactory. I was interested in the strategy details behind the Pack's successful rescue of Kate, as well as how they escaped from Hugh, etc. Plot devices felt too nicely opportunistic and rushed.

Magic! That's the subject of this book and how I feel at the end of it. It was magic.
I don't even want to talk all about it because I just want to read the next one.

Okay, these are finally hitting their stride. There was even a solvable mystery. (Who ate Kate's pie? THE CLUES ARE THERE.) And it's so nice to see an urban fantasy protagonist with real friendships.

I loved this one. I'm really enjoying Kate and Curran's developing relationship. This is actually one of the rare times when I really love both the male and female leads. Most of the time either the guy is a jerk, the girl is an idiot, or both.
Just as good the second time around as the first. Maybe better.
