Re-read: April 2018, I have the same questions has I did the last time.

Great read, but felt like I'm missing something, things get mentioned but nothing comes of it.

Shelves: paranormal, overrated, buddy, magic, barely-finished, series, vampires, demons, recommended-to-me, mixed-reviews

3 stars for the slow start, but 4 stars for the ending. Reminds me of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, except paranormal and better, not as silly.

2023 re-read:

A second re-read!
Still enjoyable third time round.

2015 re-read:

I first read this 8 years ago, and while the story was familiar, enough details had been lost in the sands of time to make the re-read enjoyable. There was a little fore-shadowing of the main bugbear I have with the later books, and Trent was a little unrecognisable really, he changed a lot. And, Kisten was there :)
