Reasons to read the series
Kate Daniels, she is sarcastic and hilarious and all the raw power that she carries. Also the way she puts everyone in their place not caring if its The Beast lord or a Knight of the order.
The story even though wasn't that capturing, all the gruesome details made up for it.
