I'm not a fan of historical books in general, (odd since i love a good fantasy and those are sometimes have a historical feel). I'm not usually a fan of established relationships unless i've read about it developing over time in the series. This time I didn't mind it because Dash and Eli were so good together, even when they were having troubles. I liked the irreverant silly Dash and his Eli was such a perfect foil for him. ...more

Avery was a prick for sure and it took me a long time to even tolerate him, he did change but it was a bit too late for me. I liked Dylan from the start and felt like he deserved a better mate. the constant misunderstandings, willfully sometimes i felt, and the abrupt ending weren't really my thing. Not sure if i care enough to pick up the next book.

Loved it. Not quite a 5 star but close. The 3 Marys - Frankie, Josie, and Matty are siblings by choice, bonded by trauma and love. Frankie is the mainLoved it. Not quite a 5 star but close. The 3 Marys - Frankie, Josie, and Matty are siblings by choice, bonded by trauma and love. Frankie is the main focus of this story and she is something like a necromancer (view spoiler)[she's also something else that hasn't been determined yet (hide spoiler)]. Each of the siblings have their own unique gift, Josie is a dryad and Matty is an Onerios, which i think is a dreamwalker. Then we have Harrow and Carter partners who work in law enforcement. Harrow is a former love interest of Frankie. Then the mysterious Kierce is added to the mix. I'm interested to see how that triangle plays out. I hope to see more world building in the next of the series and development of the characters. I love the premise of them running a body shop where a series of 3 ghostly brothers use Matty's body to do mechanic work for the shop and Frankie rents actual bodies out of the shop. ...more

Misdirection everywhere, no one is quite what they seem. I love it....more

This one covers Cass and the gray angel Kushiel. They were perfect for each other (of course). This one took a bit for me to get into, that falls firmly on my mood at the time of reading and not the book itself. I put it down and came back to it and enjoyed it quite a bit. I love this little universe where the demons aren't completely devilish and the angels aren't so angelic. ...more

I really liked some parts of the story, the world building, the premise, the suspense, and by the end Fynn and Daniel. On the other hand, the writing was a bit choppy, there were several dropped threads and inconsistencies that niggled at me, there were also bits of the relationship between Fynn and Daniel that got to me too because of his alcoholism and how they interacted about it a few times. It started off strong, lulled in the middle, and picked back up a bit by the end. I am interested enough to read the next in the series....more
3.5 stars based on the fact that this is 1 of 3 parts. I wish that we got to see more of Bish and Valor interacting through the book. We didn't becaus3.5 stars based on the fact that this is 1 of 3 parts. I wish that we got to see more of Bish and Valor interacting through the book. We didn't because Bish spends most of that time in jail. The suspects are all off page with us only getting a moment of interaction with any of them. This story ends with no resolution to the mystery. It reads like a serial publication, which i'm not mad at, just wish i'd known going in. Now i'm off to finish the rest of the books to find out what is going on!...more
