Each book is better than the last, and this one doesn't disappoint. Normally, when the OTP in an urban fantasy series finally gets together, the series starts to decline and the author resorts to breaking them up so they can start the are-they or aren't-they dance all over again to keep the series interesting.

Not so with this one.

Kate and Curran are together. Their life isn't perfect, but that's what makes it believable. Now that they're together, the series is richer, more interesting, because Kate isn't the unapproachable, hard to sympathize with heroine that she was when this series started out. Kate is softer now, but is still badass; still herself, only better. No longer stiff and one-dimensional. The supporting characters are also interesting. I found myself wishing for a spinoff for Julie and Andrea, tbh. There are so many explorable characters.

The plot is moving at a good pace. Before Kate could take on Hugh, from their encounters in Book 4, she needed a little boost, and events on Book 5 were perfect.

I'm really looking forward to the sequel.

Magic Slays Kate Daniels Ilona Andrews Books Reviews

Admittedly this book took a bit to get into. It was slow in the beginning compared to the others. I think I was trying to figure out where this was going to be going. Once I did the flow was fine. I'm weird like that I guess. Anyways, I ended up loving this sooo much! Derek, God you cant help but love that guy. He's 19 but damn he just doesnt seem like it does he? Julie although she's not in this much I really wanted to kill her. Did she not realize Kate was sending her to school for her own protection? Kids...but it ended up kind of working out for her in the end school wise. Andrea is back after disappearing for awhile. I'll get into the in between novellas after I finish the series. I think that will reveal quite a bit about Andrea. Ascanio was a character! 15 year old bouda clan member who is on his way to being a man****e like all the other males in the clan. He is very good looking for such a young age which is why its easy for him to get what he wants. He's spoiled but he does come into his own after Kate and Derek take him in hand. Otherwise his life is over if he cant be controlled. Sad yet but its reality. Kate was his last resort and Curran of course set THAT in motion which pissed her off. She understood and agreed with him she just doesnt like being manipulated by him. He does finally understand he can't do those things. I swear Curran and Kate just work! She's got her doubts as well she should. They do have a few heart to hearts and its rather sweet and hilarious. I just love the humor in these books. I cant wait too read what is next. I'm a little over halfway done. I know this duo is only planning a book 10 then it will be done. Thats the rumor anyways. Thats gonna be a doozy I think. Thats going to be on hell of a fight with Roland and I dont think everyone will come out unscathed. Loved the book and just bought the next. I'll get to it soon. Oh...I think my favorite part was when Kate had to act as Alpha in Curran's stead while he searched for a rogue of the Pack. How she handled Jennifer was awesome. I laughed sooo hard. God that woman just wont give it up. Jennifer does get shaken up in a big way later and its pretty sad.
“I don’t trust tragedies much. It’s easy to make a person sad by showing him something tragic. We all recognize when sad things happen someone dies, someone loses a loved one, young love is crushed. It’s much harder to make a man laugh—what’s funny to one person isn’t funny to another.”

“Themselves, mostly. Rage is a powerful thing. People get upset over many things. Frustrating jobs, small paychecks, bad hours. People want things; people feel humiliated by others who have the things they want; people feel deprived and powerless. All this gives fuel to rage. The anger builds and builds and if there is no outlet for it, pretty soon it transforms the person. They walk around like a loaded gun, ready to go off if only they could find the right target. They want to hurt something. They need it.”

“Humans tend to segregate the world enemies on one side, friends on the other. Friends are people we know. Enemies are the Other. You can do just about anything to the Other. It doesn’t matter if this Other is actually guilty of any crimes, because it’s a matter of emotion, not logic. You see, angry people aren’t interested in justice. They just want an excuse to vent their rage.” Doolittle sighed. “And once you become their Other, you’re no longer a person. You’re just an idea, an abstraction of everything that’s wrong with their world. Give them the slightest excuse, and they will tear you down. And the easiest way for them to target you as this Other is to find something that’s different about you. Color of your skin. The way you speak. The place you’re from."

“And then there are lost souls like Leslie, so full of selfhatred that they trample the world in a rush to blame someone for their pain.”

I could quote a hundred verses, but this dialog hit home for me, especially in today's struggles.

The humor and inner dialogue is purely amazing. Like visiting an old friend.
