imPerfect Hunt by C.N. Rowan

5.0

 

The 5th book of the imPerfect Cathar, this one continues the hunt for De Montfort who has now been rechristened as Demon fart, which, appropriate. Isakob is doing research, Paul has to get used to a female body and heal from his trauma, and Aicha is being Aicha. 

When they discover a possible location for De Montfort, Paul and Aicha skip across the channel to England. On a plane. With Aicha complaining all the time. There, they meet Craig, a half fae who is also the king of the Hobs and who's high out of his mind, but stupid powerful. Demon Fart has made an alliance with vampires but with Craig's help, Aicha and Paul are able to enter his lair undetected. Still, Demon Fart hasn't spent all these years and centuries plotting for nothing, and he's able to use the bones he already has to fire a spell at Paul, which Aicha jumps in the way of and which disintegrates her instantly. Paul slaughters the vampires in a haze of grief and rage, but Aicha does manage to reform. 

They return to France after exchanging numbers with Craig who shamelessly flirts with Paul who's still in Maeve's body because he doesn't want to lose his talent. They realise that the only bones left are the skull in Isakob's possession and the rib cage with the stupid powerful fae, Leandre, who's ruling Paris. On their way to him, they're double crossed and there's a hit out for Aicha and Paul. 

This one kept me on the edge of my seat and I had to stop frequently because I was so anxious for the characters. I was screaming bloody murder when I thought Aicha was dead. About to hop on a plane to England to gut the author murder. Fortunately, it wasn't needed. 

I'm so anxious about the next book now and have a feeling that nothing good isn't going to come of it. 

If you love supernatural entities, urban fantasy, dark humour, badass female characters who constantly save the day, villains who you love to hate, friendship and found family feels, this is the book for you!
