A review by gypsydawn
Bounty by Kristen Banet, K.N. Banet
5.0
While I adore Banet's Reverse Harem worlds (Age of Adina anyone?) I find myself doubly captivated by the Urban Fantasy Universe she is crafting. That world, The Tribunal Archives, first introduced in the Jacky Leon series, is made larger here, focusing on the mysterious Kaliya.
Obsessive and a bit impulsive, Kalyia is a fierce and deadly predator, the last living Nagini and one of only a few sanctioned Tribunal Executioners. Her very nature drives her to interfere in a suspicious bounty, one that leads her down a rabbit hole of scientific experiments, shadowy conglomerates, unknown supernaturals and laws that are just begging to be broken.
It's fast, intense and just the right amount of funny. In other words, it's everything an Urban Fantasy junkie could want.
Pros:
~ Great Character Development.
~ Cassius... I really don't know if I should love him or hate him, but he's a force regardless.
~ The mystery is slowly doled out, dragging the reader along as Kaliya falls deeper into the mess.
~ Hasan!! (Brief, but memorable)
~ Well written.
Cons:
~ There is a heart punch near the end... I won't spoil it, but dang...
Perspective
~ First Person, Single POV
Ending Type
~ HFN, Episodic
Rating
~ R for violence.
Romantic Dynamic
~ While romance is not the focus of an UF novel, this would be M/F
Character Age Range
~ Adult
