5.0

I remain in awe of House Andrews and the Kate Daniels universe. This book deserves 5 stars because the authors are doing a very difficult thing, which is continue to grow and develop and expand your world and characters even when you could rest on your laurels and coast on wish fulfillment. While they do deliver on lots of things for the long time fans, they continue to examine and reassess the stories they have told and will tell, and it seems like there is still a lot of gas in the tank for Kate and Curran.

I so enjoyed the Curran POV sections of this book. It was a true delight. I also really loved that Kate and Curran’s relationship still feels like it’s depending and maturing. I think that this series really benefits from having a husband-wife writing duo because they do clearly communicate what it’s like to be married and still work on communication and developing your relationship. They do not fall into the typical tv trap of “oh no they’re married what do we do now.” And I know that House Andrews does work hard to give the right character development to their leads. I love this series and I’m very excited to see where the next chapter of their journey takes us.

5 stars!
