Kit Davenport #5
The Crow’s Murder
Well, I just can't seem to catch a break, can I?
None of us saw it coming, no matter what precautions we took or how many contingencies we put into play.
What’s the point of having all this power when everyone is out to get me?
They say things are darkest before the light, and that the storm gets worse before it clears. Trust me when I say platitudes don’t do a damn bit of good when you’re in the middle of it.
I’m Kit Davenport, and my heart is breaking.

Book 5 in a RH series and there's one sex scene?!? Two if you stretch the definition a bit?!
July 31, 2019
second read and review.
Okay, so I liked this book but it wasn't my favorite. First there was Wes ghosting everyone and then popping up saying, 'I'm alive!'. Then there was fucking Bridget ruining my day left and right. THEN something happened that is absolutely unspeakable.. because it breaks my heart just thinking about it. THHHEEENNN the ending was way anti-climactic. So yeah, disappointed through and through guys.
Don't get me wrong, I love my guys and all but hot damn - this book was a hot mess. I forgot how much I just 'liked' this one. Only like, not love. Not even surprised that I still feel the same disappointment from everything either. I just really need Kit to get her shit together because idk what the hell was going through her head in this one.
Other than all that jazz, I have nothing else to speak about. Lots of death happened. I was angry a lot with things that were happing and I'm hoping that the next book redeems this one because if it doesn't.. I just don't know what I will do with my life.
Pray for me please.

Okay, so The Crow's Murder was something. I can't really put my finger on it because it definitely left me kind of numb. I also have no idea if that's a good or bad thing at the moment.
First things first, I feel like this book might have been all over the place. Again, it could just be me. I still love all my guys and Kit but something was just off in this book. Now there was a ton of death. I feel like Tate James was feeling his "Oprah" thing because he was killing people off left and right. I was sad about some of them.. but I also didn't give a rats ass about most of them.
Kit was just Kit in this book. She's still a bad ass in my eyes but she kind of acts like a pussy. Yeah, she sees some of her friends go through some situations but that doesn't mean she should be cutting everyone off and curling up into a ball. No, she needs to get out there for revenge or some smutty scenes.. or whatever.
Speaking of smut, there wasn't enough! However, what little I got - well, it was on point. I love my guy Austin and I will forever think he is my favorite. I kind of wish I would get more smut or at least some with the other guys. I feel like I mostly just get smut scenes with like three of them now.. I need more people! I demand smutty scenes with every guy!
I feel like I should mention the people I hate before I finish off this review - maybe? Well her mom and Simon will be at the top of the list, forever. I don't know how SImon still isn't truly dead but he needed to go. Then there's her mom, who I never trusted. I would trust the Grinch or Satan way before her. I hated her and how she was so freaking manipulative. I wanted her to run off into the sunset with Simon.. and die.
Then there's the ending. I feel like it was just there. I don't really know how I feel about it because I'm still numb after reading this damn book! I'm kind of irked on how it ended because who knows how long I have to wait for the next freaking book! I expect some damn fireworks in the book!!
Overall, it was kind of underwhelming to read. Not my favorite book of the series and smidge of a disappointment. I've been dying to dive into it and now.. I'm just meh. Again, numb. I will definitely be diving back into this series whenever the next book comes out. Maybe my opinion will change.. maybe it wont.

It's scary as fuck.
Why can't we just call it a group of crows? A flock of crows?

2.5 stars rounded down to 2
A lot of woe me from the heroine in this book, with every book she is becoming more annoying. This is my least favorite of the entire series, the story has lost it's momentum and at this point I don't think I want to read the next book.

Holy sh#t! Another epic and heartbreaking end as part of this series. I’d definitely consider it a cliffhanger too. And worse yet, the next one is the end. I’d definitely say this book was a tearjerker. Whiny, snotty, sniffling, damn was I a mess. Unfortunately there were two losses here that really hit home. Luckily while the is a third, things kinda work out but nothing will ever be the same now. Every book Kit takes hit after hit and I think with this one, she’s hit her breaking point. The true villain is out, their true colors shining bright and they better find a small tiny hole to hide in because Kit isn’t going to play nice anymore. We did get some revelations, who and what both River and Wesley are. I’m still thrown by River, I was assuming based on his Alpha call sign it would be a lot simpler than he was making it but boy was I wrong on that front. I’m so ready for retribution. Call me blood thirsty but people need to die, there’s no two ways about it. The world will be better without them and unfortunately the fate of the world literally lies with Kit. It’s going to be one of those moments when her loves/dianoch will have to save her, bring her back t9 herself, but she has much to do until that’ll b possible. I’m a little peeved over the interrupted threesome action we got a peek at, though I’m sure there’s more anger on the side of those affected lol. While the steamy hotness is present, there’s so much more to these books than just sex, in fact for someone with six mates I’d say this book was damn tame. But it was also flipping amazing. My mind is a mess thus why this review is as well. I NEED to finish this series and I’m rooting for Kit and her guys, if anyone can save the day it’s them. RIP

Huh.. so I did not enjoy this book as much as I have loved the others. Kit kind of turned into someone that annoyed me. There was so much self pity and crying and she just kept pushing the men away and I was annoyed. Now I will tell y'all that some shit happens in this book and I mean some baaaaad shit. Shit that would make me cry for days too but I wouldn't push people away. I would let them help me get revenge. Absolutely cry but then suck it up and kill people. You know.. like any normal immortal being who is fated to save the fucking world would. Kit has had a whole lot dumped on her. I get it.. well no I can't possible get it but I get that she was due to have a kind of break down. But for some reason I just didn't see it coming. And I just kind of wish she would have reacted differently.
Honestly I can't really say anything without giving away the book. It is not necessarily action packed but we learn SO much! I mean we learn like everything. But I will say that I kind of didn't like Kit in this book.

My fave trashy guilty pleasure series! There's not much I can say for book 5 of a series, but I'll share some of my thoughts.
There are WAY fewer sex scenes in this one than previous books (only 1 and a half that I can remember) and it's a little darker. Kit deals with a lot of grief in this one, and people actually die! Tate James is officially no longer shying away from killing off her characters, and it is heartbreaking! This book focussed on Wes-as the title suggests-and I loved it. Relationship wise though, Austin and Valii really shined in this one. Kit herself is actually not my favourite and this one and some of her actions were really frustrating. I'm also officially done with kidnappings in this series, it is literally all that happens and I'm finding it very tedious xD We see our real villain and she shows her true colours-and damn is she a bitch! We get more answers, we find out what River and Wes really are and overall progress the series pretty far. The ending set-up is going to make for a damn cool sequel. Roll on book 5!

2nd time reading
This book gets dark. It still has some of the funny, snarky parts but there's kind of a lot of death. Poor Kit goes through so much and I really feel for her. Bridget really comes in and messes everything up and I hate her with my whole being.
We learn a lot about Wes' powers and what kind of supernatural being he is which I liked. There's also a bit about the mages and how their people do things. I'm liking that the plot is diving deeper into the paranormal and now we just need to know about River!
I'm so excited to read the last book in this series and see it all come together!
****************************************
Wow, so much craziness and drama happens in these books! People dying, lots of enemies hunting down Kit and her guys, plus cool powers. These books are a lot of fun and quick to get through. I was a little frustrated with how Kit acted a couple times, but I know she had reasons for her feelings and just had a difficult time processing. A couple questions I had were answered finally! I am so excited to see how this series ends.

Second read and review August 2019
I think this book will always be my least favorite of the series, no matter how many times I reread this series.
Kit in this book deals with a lot. Like a-freaking-lot. So she gets a pass for some stuff. To an extent. But I hate when characters are all "poor me. my life sucks. *cry cry cry*" Yes, Kit deals with a lot. But the first four books in the series she deals with the same kind of stuff, if not worse! And she just handles it. Life goes on, there's nothing you can do about stuff that happened in the past. And this book she was just wallowing in self pity. So basically Kit goes from being this badass Ban-Dia who handles her shit and literally is just so headstrong to a self-pitying, cry baby through the course of this book and it's infuriating.
Then you get to the end of the book and she's STILL wallowing but then she's like fuck it and turns hardcore again? But in the worse way. Like what? It's just ridiculous. I'm actually going to switch my star review from 4 to 3 because I'm realizing I really, REALLY didn't like Kit this book...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First read and review May 2018
I don't know how I feel about this book. I love this series. And I love the characters. I seriously have no beef with anything about this series up to the beginning of this book.
I just feel like Kit was a whiney little bitch in this book. And granted she had a lot of shit happen to her. She just didn't seem like the strong af character she was in the first four books. The fact that she was so head strong and independent was the reason I loved her so much. But she just wasn't that character in this book. Again, she had so much happen to her in this book. But she didn't handle it all like I felt she should have given the way she was in the first four books. I don't know. Maybe I;m being crazy. But whatevs. It's my opinion.
AND RIVER! I cannot wait for the next book to see wtf is going on with him!
And that teaser smut scene in the beginning. That seriously made me mad. Lmfao. Fucking tease. -.-
But I still love this series. One of my favorites. :D

This book punched me in my face. I was a crying mess multiple times!!!! What an emotional rollercoaster. This was much darker than the previous books. The real villain has finally been revealed, our group faced devastating losses and our girl Kit has reached her breaking point. And I cannot wait for retribution. Let’s. Go.

3.5/5
Okay like I love this series, but stuff was definitely off in this installment. The Crow's Murder takes a huge turn to into darkness. Kit deals with a ton of death and learning how to grieve in this addition. And she is not prepared for the toll it takes. Along with that, more deception is at play and the team still doesn't have all the answers.
I spent a lot of this book just kind of sitting there yelling?? Especially at the end. I'm going to have a spoiler section at the end because there are things that NEED to be pointed out. But I'll keep this portion mildly spoiler free. So we pick up with Kit & Wesley being taken by Simon to some undisclosed location. Of course, knowing our girl and her guys this doesn't happen for very long. I loved getting to see more of Kit being a badass and using her skills as a thief to help her.
For a while things go okay... Wesley finally gets some answers and then we have a nice and fun explosion. Queue things going to shit. This book was so hard to read at times. Going through Kit's grieving process with her was not easy or the normal stuff I am used to in this series. Most of the books before this managed to have an insouciant atmosphere. While bad things happened, nothing seemed to really touch Kit and her guys.
This is no longer true with The Crow's Murder. Kit has definitely changed after the events in this book and I don't know if she'll be able to come back from the place she's gone to. The ending gave me chills and simultaneously made me annoyed with Kit (to be explained below). We definitely got to see a different side of the guys this time around too. The guys are not mean by any stretch (well Austin is sometimes), but they really brought out their caring sides in order to help Kit deal with her shit. And damn did it break my heart.
Okay let's talk spoilers:
Overall, I'm still very mystified by the series progression. We should have way more answers about this supposed war that's happening and how exactly Kit is going to save the world?? There are all these mentions, but the bigger picture still doesn't make sense and this is the penultimate book. I feel like the paranormal-war aspect of this series is really being stretched right now.

my god these books are kinda a sweaty mess now, sweaty from all the sex Kit is having, but whatever, they're still hella addictive.
one issue though - the frick happened to my precious Wes? where has he gone? who is this annoying, confident Wesley who has appeared in his place? his nickname for Kit - 'SWEETHEART' OF ALL THINGS - is soooo irritating.

Kit is finally off to Ireland with Wesley to try to track down some answers regarding what kind of supernatural he might be. It seems like they've gone to the right place when things blow up - literally.
So, I am surprised that I am giving a 3 star rating to a book in this series (that I LOVE). However, I feel I have some good reasons. I was disappointed that there really wasn't that much Wesley in this book. The title implies that it is supposed to be focused on him - the sweetest, nerdiest, hunk of them all. Speaking of, I was also disappointed that there were so few hot scenes, especially since there were plenty of opportunities for them AND let's admit it - it's a big reason why we like this series, right?
Now all that said, I'm still going to read the next book!!! There are still so many questions to explore, and hopefully the conclusion of the series will be as hot as the first few books.

DNF @ 81% weird place to stop, I know. The first 3 books weren’t terrible. I liked the fact that Kit seemed rather strong and independent and I liked that not all the guys were shifters. There was sass and jokes and a nice laidback plot.
And then this happened......no more logical story line, no more relationship building, no more interesting developments to keep me going. We have a “paranormal war” happening that quite literally just appears....nothing in the actual story do we see reason that a war is coming, I mean other than a character randomly saying a war is coming. Which seems like a desperate act from an author to make their storyline more than it is. Which leads me to believe this wasn’t thought out as well as I had originally hoped for.
(Spoilers for this next paragraph)
We have a person in the group seemingly pass away yet.... no one checks up on his family, no funeral (even if there is no body), no one tryna find who did it....nothing. THEN he comes back and no “I missed you!” sex? Really? 🤦♀️ So, as I said there is no further relationship building. At all.
It’s sad, but there is literally only one thing I even want to know from this series, and maybe someone can help a sister out. What’s River actually turn into? Because that is the ONLY thing this author has to try to keep readers coming back. Personally my need to know isn’t so strong that I’ll bother continuing.
All in all, I’ve read some good stuff from this author but this latest book just isn’t it.
....and seriously, what’s River turn into? 🤣

3,5 stars - well they kind of get weaker and weaker. I did not get as much Wes time as I hoped and I did not like his story line that much. I‘m happy Kit did not get kidnapped again but other than that this book was not really it for me. I did not feel a very strong emotional connection and no death did really make me feel anything I think the characters made a lot of stupid decisions and made the same mistakes again and again. The ending ? No thank you Even the steamy scenes were not as strong as in the last books in my opinion, firstly because their barley were any which is kind of weak for a fifth in a series which main plot is the smutty romance and secondly because it does not develop anymore . I hope the last book is going to be a strong one again, I need this series to end on a really good one.

Ok, Kit went from being this bad ass defender of the realm to a simpering, whiny bitch. It was NOT a good look for her and I kind of hated her. She just completely crumpled when things went wrong. All the magical power and instead of trying to figure out what she COULD do, she went catatonic. Sam is right-she is a moron.
July 18, 2022
I’m horrified by the end. I knew sometimes bad would happen, but this ?! THIIIIS ?? No, no way!
I don’t even know how to review it. I’m still hooked but it now feels like a nightmare!

Okay. Whoa. What a rollercoaster of a read! I need the next book NOW.

Instead of The Crow's Murder this book should've been called "No one ever really dies (except those two characters, but we rarely saw them anyway)". Too long?
And, don't get me wrong, I don't actually want the characters to die, I quite like them. But they also cannot all "cheat death" every single time, because eventually I'll just stop reacting to it. Like this whole Wesley situation for example - I did not believe that anything bad happened to him - because nothing had. You cannot write a book dedicated to one guy and then expect me to believe that he died in he first fifty pages of it. I mean, come on!
And I was so over this Simon situation. How many times can a guy come back from the dead? I swear, if he resurfaces again then I'm done. It's just ridiculous at this point.
And the Bridget and the bracelet story? I'm with Sam on this one - it was a fucking stupid idea to put that thing on in the first place. Who's really surprised that it backfired?
I did, however, like the fact that the issue with Jonathan was finally resolved and that Kit understood where he was coming from. I also enjoyed getting a glimpse into the Mage politics and the brief moment of Wesley's time in Coara. Although I wouldn't have minded for it to be longer, seeing as how I'm very curious about Coara and the way it works and the years Wesley spent there. Maybe there'll be a novella or something? One could wish.
And the writing as a whole was still really good, it's mostly the characters' decisions and the death dodging that I had a problem with. And the predictability - the events of this book were much easier to guess than any before it, so that sucks.
But even though I'm mildly disappointed with the fifth book of the series, I'm still gonna read the next one, seriously hoping that it'll be better.

Meh
No character development - just random hollow dumb jokes at the wrong moments and time. Kit is still immature and wants to do everything solo. The best parts were when Sam told her how dumb she was.
I don't understand all the random deaths that were needed - and seeing who really was the bad guy was a given.
I am wondering if she will accept your harem and finally allow them to help a full 100% or go off and try to take on the world once again by herself - since the next book I was told is the last one of the series.

Oh my gosh! I freaking loved it! Tate James is my hero with this series! every single book has been a nail biting adventure and holy plot twists that make my heart stop! Wow... I am so hooked on this series it isn't even funny. Write faster Tate lol

Absolute piffle. I was beyond frustrated with Kit’s carrying on like an emotional wreck. The death dodging was entirely superfluous. I’m not convinced “dark vengeful” Kit is something I want to read.

UGGHHHHH!!!!
......I've been staring at a blank screen for 10 minutes now because I'm trying to process my feelings.
Tate is amazing, witty, hilarious...and diabolical! (in the best of ways) I have no words! I didn't want this book to end. I was that girl that kept clicking thinking that the book would magically have more pages. The ending!!! I'm frustrated, excited, and yelling at a screen, so thanks Tate, my family thinks I've finally lost it.

Alright so I need to address some things in this review: before I read this book I noticed a lot of people saying they didn’t like that Kit was acting like a “child” after going through what she did...
I just want to say for the people who are deciding whether or not to read this book...I didn’t see it that way at ALL.
What kit went through? The utter SHITSHOW her life has turned into? No doubt in my mind I would have reacted the exact same, if not worse. We can’t expect characters in our books to act like we would. Most of the time we never put ourselves in their shoes truly. The loss she experienced? The fact that she was selfish in her grief? That’s GRIEF guys. It’s messy. It’s never ever pretty.
And she came back! She REALIZED how she was acting and she knew that she could have done better by her guys. But let’s remember she has SIX other people to think about and on a good day, that’s difficult. On a bad day? REALLY fucking hard. On the worst day where you blame yourself for the death of someone you love and can’t envision your life without that person? Damn near impossible.
That being said: I fucking loved this book. LOVED it. I love the mushy shit, I do. But this book was full of action and we’re getting ready to go to war.
It was action packed and full of suspense and my little heart is beyond ready for what’s going to go down in the last book.
Let’s fucking do this.

2.5 stars
It look me a LONG ASS TIME to find the motivation to finish this book. The revolving door of grief and mourning put a downer on my enjoyment of the series. - I understand that some deeply upsetting shit happened but damn I felt like I’d been transported back to New Moon with a depressed Bella Swan sat in a chair for months while the world passes by. Jaysus! - I was missing the entertainment in this instalment.
And I’m so fucking over the coffee obsession being a replacement for an actual personality. - I just don’t really care for Kit anymore.
The reveal of who the true villain was anticlimactic and not at all shocking.
I think the only things I enjoyed about this instalment was Ssssam’s sassy retorts and learning about how Johnathan came to adopt Kit.
I don’t know if I will finish this series, I reached the point of annoyance where I just don’t think I can appreciate the progression of the story anymore. I’m done for now; but maybe I’ll give the last few books another go when I’m feeling less irritable, since the series started so strong.

I didn't like this one as much as the others, and I've really liked this series so far.
I just don't like what Kit's character is evolving into? her choices and such. At the start she seemed like this bad ass thief and now shes just this blubbering I'm fine on my own but not really type? idk know there's a lot more detail between those two points but that's what stands out to me. I found myself getting bored/annoyed and had to stop at one point.
Without giving anything away I agreed completely with what Elena said and felt at the very end scene, its true and like I kinda also felt like we as readers shouldn't have taken that side? it kinda changed my opinion of Kit big time and I will have trouble redeeming her in my mind so to speak.
I still liked the guys characters and the other story line kinda going on in the background with omega, I just wish Kit was different. Now I will probably still check out the next one hoping it gets back into what I liked about it
