Kate lost a bet with Curran and agreed to serve him dinner in nothing more than her undies. Imagine her surprise and rage when he stands her up. Determined to carry on, Kate throws herself into work at the Order of Knights of Merciful Aid and plots Curran's demise. A call to check out a fight at the Steel Horse, a bar at the edge of territory between Pack and the People, reveals that a true evil has come to Atlanta. The loser of the fight has been skewered and exhibits evidence of a contagious disease. And a demon hound is holed up in the basement. Kate rescues the pitiful poodle while PAD cleans up the murder scene. This is just the first crime scene and they all seem to be leaving messages for Kate.

This series gets better with each book. I will confess that I did not like the first book in the series when I read it years ago. I went back and read it after falling in love with the next book.

We are discovering more about Kate's family and the true evil that lives in them. She must use all of her energy to keep them from destroying the Pack and Atlanta as a whole.

The addition of the poodle made Kate more human. The fact that she can't come up with a name for him is amusing and carries on throughout most of the story.

Kate's first meeting with Curran after he stood her up is priceless. She directs all of her statements to Jim as she was instructed via a phone call to the Keep. Truly a woman scorned! A "date" with Saiman almost pushes Curran to the limit of his control. The resulting showdown between Kate and Curran is epic. I can't wait to see where this will lead.

This installment of the series is filled with blood. So much so that had I not known there were additional books I would have feared this was the last. I want to see where the politics of the shifters and the rules of the Order take Kate. I'm sure that it will be a bumpy ride.

An excellent read! So much so that I reread it two days after I finished it. ...more

The forth book in the series.

The books are getting better. Don't get attached to the secondary characters. The author loves killing at least one major secondary character in every book. ...more

#4 in the Kate Daniels paranormal series

I'd give this a solid 4.5 star rating, if I could. Another exciting episode in the amazing life of Kate Daniels. This time she figures out the identity of the supernatural being that is attacking important areas of the city and killing their leaders. It turns out to be someone from her past, and she is the best equipped to handle the situation, despite the obvious disparity in their skills. We learn a little more about Kate's past and her abilities. There' ...more

WOW...this book was packed with awesomeness! I'm super excited that things have (finally) progressed with Kate and Curren. There were some interesting reveals in this book about Kate's lineage, so I look forward to watching that all play out in future books. ...more
