I kinda fell into this book and decided to give it a go. The story sounded interested and I was not disappointed. It's a fantastic murder mystery set in a paranormal world of demons and summoners.I really liked Kara, she's a brand new homicide detective who has skills outside the kind of skill you can claim on a police resume. She's someone you can really identify with as someone who can kick ass but has the kind of vulnerabilities that everyone can relate to. She was also nervous and frightened at times but still did what needed to get done. That to me is better than seeing someone who just goes through an entire murder mystery without batting an eye.This murder mystery has a wonderfully satisfying ending while still leaving some story arcs open for future novels. I'm jumping into the next one right now!
Not sure how to rate this book. On the one hand, I mostly liked the MC, character, plot, and story, and did not see the reveal coming at all. A solid 4. OTOH, the MC's irrational behaviour towards the bad boy lust interest gave me a headache, and continues to give me a headache as I start book 2. Do people actually like reading about female MCs who obsess and self destruct over a guy they know is a bad idea? So far her behavior is merely annoying, I hope she does not go all PTW over him.
I hate insta-sex romances. "We're both attractive, let's do it!" does nothing for me.
Fun new series.
