Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews
5.0
I loved this book beyond reason. Most of the series has been fun to me, if a little flawed, but this book went beyond that. I am a huge fan of 'so bad they're good' movies and this book hit on a few of those notes while still being genuinely good. Best of both worlds.
For starters, it's a lot different than the rest of the series. It's the only book where they leave home and spend the whole book some place completely different. They're helping solve some pointless squabble over wolf packs in Europe, but it doesn't really matter. The main point is, everyone is behaving ridiculously in this book with the flimsiest of motivations and it is fabulous.
I also love the villain of this book. After reading the whole series, I can confirm he is the best villain and I only wish there'd been more of him. He brings me great joy, and Kate's irrational jealousy brings me great joy, and Curran's ridiculous stupid plan brings me great joy.
Of the whole series, this is the only book I could see myself rereading. It was great. I get why some people wouldn't like this as much, but it was perfect for me.
