This is exactly why I am starting to be weary of all Urban fantasy books with a female lead. When Buffy the Tv show came out about a million years ago it was fun to see a snarky, take no crap, overly powerful 90 pound girl. Now its as boring as a princess in a pink dress. Actually its worse. At least there is some honesty to a princess in a pink dress. This is a God Mode Mary Sue story. A rude, not terribly bright woman who is constantly belittleling everything and everyone but is somehow loved

I'd probably give this more of a 3.5 than a 4 but I'm hopeful that this series will improve as I like the characters and the forming relationships. There are several unanswered questions that I know will be touched upon later. I'll definitely be reading the next in this series.

I love this book and the narrator was fab, my second book by her and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Found myself smiling like a loony at my favourite bits - God knows what the people in the gym thought!
I do love Curran!

Os primeiros livros de uma série para mim são sempre dificeis de ler. É um mundo novo a descobrir e tentar compreender tudo o que passa na história e conhecer as personagens, demora o seu tempo. Levei algum tempo a tentar perceber esta sociedade de magia e de tecnologia e todos os seres e raças que a habitam e apesar de algumas dúvidas, gostei deste primeiro volume da série intitulada Kate Daniels.
Gostei do humor da Kate, ela é mesmo muito engraçada a mal posso esperar pelo desenrolar do romance ...more

It reminded me, in some ways, of the Dresden novels, in that we have a very sarcastic hero(ine), there is magic in what is basically a "normal" world, and we have knights, vampires and were-folk. However, other than that bare description, this book bears little resemblance to Jim Butcher's world. In this world, everyone is aware of magic, which only works some of the time. Conversely, "tech" only works when magic doesn't.
I loved this book and will be starting on the next one this evening. ...more

I had the misfortune the last few reads(yes i sometimes measure time by number of books read), to stumble upon a few disastrous historical romances, that left me itching for a strong heroine (physically and emotionally) who would restore my faith in my gender and a non misogynistic cast of character. This book delivered.
On the downside, it took me a lot of time to 'get into it' I'm not sure if I will keep the four stars rating in the future. ...more
