Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews
3.0

Maybe it doesn't deserve three stars, it probably deserves more, I am not sure if it deserves four either. The writing in general has progressively gotten better throughout the series but I struggle with such long breaks (and so many other books) in between releases to remember what is going on. Certainly that isn't the fault of the authors' ability, it just reflects itself in my feeling on the book. By about half way through I felt settled and really engaged. Curran and Kate's love story (though only a mild subplot) feels genuine compared to most romance novels. And while I didn't understand all the bashing on humans for killing each other when all the "non-humans" killed each other all the time for dominance and such, the plot answered some questions we had on Kate's background and set up the next book nicely.
