Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews
4.0

Ok, I’m just going to stop myself from reading the next book because I am seriously addicted and really need to get uni work done since term has finally started again.

Another really great book, loved that we got more Julie, still needed more Derek, and I do like that Andrews isn’t afraid to endanger her characters and I can see the author upping the stakes even more in later instalments. I basically lived for the moments with Kate and Curran together and I do like their dynamic - it’s not perfect but I’m tired of perfect romance anyway so that works for me. I would have liked to have seen more on the overarching plot concerning Roland and Hugh, it did begin to develop but it still wasn’t enough which made the main plot of this one a slight disappointment because I failed to see its relevance and importance in light of this greater threat which hasn’t been fully explained yet.

Still a 4-4.5, I don’t give out 5 stars much now because it’s got to be something really incredible, but if the series continues in this vein I have no doubts there’ll be a 5 star or two down the line.
