What I enjoyed: * Mariel's love for plants and how sheMariel accidentally summons a demon for a soul bargain, and he has to stay until it is completed.
What I enjoyed: * Mariel's love for plants and how she behaved around them * Oz was pretty perfect once he started dealing with having a soul. He gave good advice to Mariel.
What could have been better: * Diantha and Cynthia as so one-dimensional that I started to think they had already sold their souls. (view spoiler)[ I didn't really buy Diantha's guilt at the end (hide spoiler)] * Mariel acted like a pre-teen a lot with her tantrums, taking out her hurt on her friends * I don't understand the town politics, the whole turning the woods into a spa thing seems like there should be more checks and balances....more

What I enjoyed: * Kit is relatable as he is just trying the best he can * I'm happy Lienna shared her secret about her dad with Kit

What I enjoyed: * Just about anyone who has been in any of the booksThe final book for Tori and the gang. Can they save Ezra and defeat the demon cult?
What I enjoyed: * Just about anyone who has been in any of the books shows up for this final confrontation * Happy endings for the main characters, even Aaron looks to be starting a romance * Darius is way more powerful than we knew, so glad he has been on their side this whole time * Zak redeemed himself, thank goodness
What could have been better: * Kai's happy ending happened way too easily and off screen, I'm glad he got it, but seems unrealistic per the story so far * I would like to know more about Soze, but since this is three different series, seems I'll have to read another series to discover it....more
Tori and Aaron go searching for the grimoire of the cult Ezra came from and find lots and lots of trouble.
What I enjoyed: * The wiped out cult's originTori and Aaron go searching for the grimoire of the cult Ezra came from and find lots and lots of trouble.
What I enjoyed: * The wiped out cult's origins were very interesting (view spoiler)[ Super surprised it was much bigger and no one had noticed it was still active all this time, not to mention they had high level moles in the biggest demon hunting Guild (hide spoiler)] * Ezra finally mans up and decides to fight for his life * We get a tiny bit of interaction between Tori and the gang and Robin and Zylas (and sounds like much more to come)
What could have been better: * That was kind of a cliffhanger ending, so glad I don't have to wait for the next book to be published...more

Also a famous bounty hunter is in town looking Zak is caught and his fae asks Tori to save him before he is identified which leads her and Kai to LA.

What I enjoyed: * Great to see Zac again * We get more Twiggy for a change * Tori and Robin work together * (view spoiler)[ Kai ends up being given to his "bethrothed" as a slave to learn his place in the family business when they are caught after saving Zak. I hope that gets resolved soon. (hide spoiler)]
What could have been better: * (view spoiler)[ I was disappointed in Zak, for betraying everyone just so he could personally kill Varvara. If Tori hadn't had the magical cloak, they would have all died. (hide spoiler)]...more

What could have been better: * Robin is still the weakest part of these books. I realize she is young and sheltered, but all the hand-wringing and blushing is just annoying...more

They also get involved in vampire hunts with some of the guild.
What I enjoyed: * Zylas is a great character and I wish the book was told from his POV. Since he comes from such a different place, his morals and worldview are very different * They adopt a kitten * We get lots of interaction with Zora as they get involved with vampire hunts (view spoiler)[Zora learns the secret and basically tells Robin she needs to approve everything she does (hide spoiler)]
What could have been better: * I have a hard time liking Robin. She is still a bit wishy washy, but even worse she isn't working to improve her survivability by training at all. ...more

What could have been better: * It really annoys me that Alex doesn't ask questions when she is unsure. Everyone knows she is new to this. (view spoiler)[ She almost got Valentine taken from her by not asking basic questions (hide spoiler)] * I feel bad for Jack. This polyamory relationship clearly has him as a distant third * I thought Spenser was going to send people to investigate Alex's stepmother?...more

What could have been better: * Robin is such a pushover that it is difficult to read...more

What I enjoyed: * Wow, those people at the academy are grade A a$$holes, thinking they are better than everyone else * Great to understand Aaron and his background more * Ezra! (view spoiler)[ I can't believe he is expecting the demon to take over within the next year, so sad (hide spoiler)]

What I enjoyed: * The side characters. Dave the demon cook and Owen the wiche as well as the regulars at the bar * The chapter titles tended to be funny and on point * The Slaughtered Lamb itself sounds amazing and like a place that would be cool to visit * (view spoiler)[Sam came from some crappy families with both sides trying to kill her. I'm glad she took care of Randy, but Abigail is by far the bigger threat (hide spoiler)]
What could have been better: * Sam constantly being attacked and needing saved got old quick. Especially when she did something stupid that led to it. * I feel like we needed more background for the romance ...more
