Look, the plot was great. I love Ilona Andrews's world building and characters and the casual diversity of the characters. I love their way of combining the feeling of real people with these fantastical scenarios that they come up with. I've loved reading their stories over the years and look forward to reading more.
BUT MAD ROGAN IS A CREEP. Honest to god, the only time I could stand him was when he was giving out rational orders to deal with the terrorism at hand. Every other time, he was pushing the main character's boundaries despite her consistently reinforcing those boundaries and I absolutely despised him. He is the sole reason I am not going to read on in this series. I hated the romance in this book and this is a romance series. I'm good.
Were it not for how much I hated the romance portions of this book, I likely would have given it 4, maybe even 5, stars.
