Great continuation of the series. If you liked the previous books, you're not going to be disappointed with this one.

Libro entretenido, entretenida continuación de los dos libros anteriores, y promete más entretención en los libros futuros.
Me recuerda a Harry Dresden, pero con más humor feminista y comentarios geek. Solo no me gusta que sean tan cortos.
Seguiré con la serie.

Jade is trying to get back to normal when Alek steps back into her life. A missing wolf brings them back together. They finally admit their feelings and work together to stop a dangerous killer.
I love that we are seeing more of the shifters and how their packs work. The wolf shifters are quite interesting and I can’t wait to see them more in future books. As for Alek and Jade, they have a lot of baggage and feelings to work through. Alek is finally opening up about his feelings and past. I really hope they continue to be open and share their feelings in the future.
After that last chapter I can’t wait to see what happens next.

3.5 stars. I am really enjoying this UF series about sorceress Jade and her shifter friends. In this one, Jade’s Justice lover Alek returns and problems abound with a gathering of werewolves to decide the new alpha. There is a murder to solve, a cranky new Justice who hates sorceresses and a ninja assassin after Jade.

So far my favorite in the series. 3.5 stars. I'm glad they're getting better. Have high expectations for the next one.

I'm reading the whole series in preparation for my first read of [b:Magic to the Bone|29558243|Magic to the Bone (The Twenty-Sided Sorceress, #7)|Annie Bellet|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1458469174l/29558243._SY75_.jpg|49434964]
I am honestly not sure if I should change the rating for this book or not.
I found it was a little slower than I remembered, and clearly slower than the two first books in the series, which is why I couldn't bring myself to listen to it in one sitting like with the others.
The story, while slow, is interesting. It's clear that Jade has grown after what happened in [b:Murder of Crows|23012190|Murder of Crows (The Twenty-Sided Sorceress, #2)|Annie Bellet|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1409088811l/23012190._SY75_.jpg|42500945], which was nice to see, and the relationship between her and Alec wasn't as rough and tiresome as I remembered it.
All in all, there's a lot of good things about this book, but something about the whole thing felt king of off for me. It may just have been my all-over-the-place-health as I listened to it, but I honestly don't know.
New rating: 3/5 stars.

Listened to this as an audiobook
So this is the last in the series I'll be hearing for a while.
Not because I didn't like it, but because it was the last in the ''set'' I bought a while back, and while the next book is out as an audiobook, the next ones after that is not, and I don't know when they'll be out.
That said, this is still a fun series to listen to.
Each book is rather short - just around 5 hours long, this last one - and the story moves steadelly forward.
By now we also have a good feel of the world and the characters, and the plot is starting to thicken.
I like the fact that the author just hinted at it until the end of this book. It gave us time to get invested in the characters.
A fun read

Mini-Review:
There's a big werewolf pack meeting in town, but bodies are piling up with all signs pointing to werewolves. Jade gets thrown into situation and she must use her magic to defend herself & figure out what is going on.
Action kicks up a notch in this book. More questions are added to the Why pile and there are a handful of answers that lead to more questions.
I still like the side characters in the story, but I don't like Jade. She's rather incompetent and I have a hard time believing that she was able to keep herself safe from Samir for years. The GameLit vibe is still cool. However, the series is full of plot holes and the holes are getting bigger with each book I read.
I may be in the wrong mood for these stories. Maybe I'll come back and try the rest some day.

I loved this episode, there are so many sides to Jade and it shows how hard she needs approval and love at the same time. It is a very different look at shifters and how their magic works and I love the way it is forcing her to grow. I found her annoyingly mopey at time’s but it was interesting. I can’t wait to see how this grows.

My general thoughts about the first 3 books in this series:
The three books in the bundle I got were Justice Calling, Murder of Crows, and Pack of Lies. They're perfectly fine stories, and I enjoyed reading them. There isn't really a system of magic as much as different classes of being having different powers. There's some extra interest and a little moral ambiguity with the main character (Jade) being what she is. The way she gains extra powers is a little unsettling, and may lead to further complications down the line.
The writing is competent and readable. I was drawn along through all the stories quickly. There's not too much romance, which is fine with me, though there is some.
Not sure I'm invested enough in what's going on to continue the series, but if you need a fast read that has some interesting world-building choices, these books are fine.
