I would like these books better if the main character wasn't so annoying. She's impulsive and frankly, kind of stupid. I could handle the impulsiveness if she was ever right in her assumptions, but she's usually wrong. I really like the other characters and the world building so I'll probably keep reading this series even though I'm constantly yelling "No! Don't do it!" at my Kindle.

I got a bit more than halfway through this book before putting it down and concluding it was not worth my time. They kept introducing more and more different plot points and I could tell that it was just not going to wrap up in a nice way

Where to start, where to start.....this book had a heinous villain and at times Ms Harrison had me looking away from the true villain. And oy were there twists and turns in this book. I loved it!! I loved it!! I loved it!!
I found myself dreaming that I was Rachel Morgan while reading this book and that the one guy that I truly believed was the bad guy was torturing me. I never have nightmares, it was bad enough that I woke my husband up. I will say that obviously this book struck a nerve, but then I got further and well I found out that the man I feared wasn't quite so scary and I felt really stupid. No, these books are not scary not by a long shot. They are rather humorous but I think that they are so well written that the character I thought was so "evil" actually seemed real to me.
I look so forward to continuing this series.

Some things about this series keep me from rating it higher, but regardless I liked this enough to probably read the next book

Reading this book again has reminded me how much I enjoyed reading this series last time -- at least as far as I was able to read :)
Absolutely love Jenks and Ivy, I wish there were more Jenks moments, tbh. I feel so sorry for Ivy, but I'm glad her and Rachel are working out. As for romance...
I really want to drop my whole TBR and library books and focus on this series exclusively. I'm remaining strong so far, but let's hope it keeps up. If I read through my next books quick enough, perhaps I'll have time to continue reading the series.

I remember disliking Nick, but I can't remember why. I really like Trent and kinda ship him and Rachel. I do like Kisten too though haha I think we see more of him in the next few books... Anyhow, I'm glad the romance really isn't the biggest part of these books. It is really refreshing.I really want to drop my whole TBR and library books and focus on this series exclusively.

loved this book! So much better than the first one. But now I'm wondering what's going to happen between Nick & Rachel, or is there something in the works between her and Kisten or even trent??? Both seem very plausable, (no one tell me though I want to find out for myself).

The second of Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan books, I actually found this to be a better and more enjoyable read than the first (Dead Witch Walking): perhaps because it is now free of the constraints of needing to set up the world and characters?
In any case, and like previously, the majority of the book (the first 2/3rds or so) deals with the setup of the plot, tying it all up in the latter portion: I sometimes wish she'd get to the point a lot faster than she does!
