Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night by Kresley Cole
4.0
Wicked Deeds On a Winter's night is interconnected with the previous book No Rest For The Wicked. The story line goes back to the Hie and starts with events which occurred in the previous book, but from the perspective of Bowen and Mariketa.
I enjoyed the chemistry between the 2 main leads, although I did find Bowen to be a little bit too much "neanderthal oaf" for my tastes. Maybe it would be more politically correct to describe him as "too classically, traditionally alpha". However Mariketa could more than hold her own and when she came into her magic she was one seriously cool badass witch. She was more than a match for Bowen in all ways, including physically; and I'll admit I got a little bit of a kick out of watching her magically "clean his clock".
As always it was a treat to see other characters from previous books make an appearance (maybe it's me but I start to feel like they're old friends). I'm developing a serious affection for Nucking Futs Nix. I hope she gets her own story (I haven't looked ahead so I don't know); then I worry that if she does it will be anticlimactic.
I am surprised by how much I am enjoying this series.
