Cursed by Night by Jasmine Walt, Emma Stark
2.0
So much wrong with this one but am I going to continue? Yep.
This woman says she has "years" of self defense and martial arts training, yet istg she dropped her gun every time she was in a fight, and hardly did more than knee people in the balls. Honestly it was frustrating to read her fighting scenes.
Even more so because she makes the most ridiculous choices in this book. This woman finds out vampires are real by almost being unalived by a swarm of them, and her reaction is to go to a vampire club alone and unarmed (a gun that doesn't work on vamps and that she keeps dropping anyway doesn't count) to investigate even after her gargoyles warn her that she's not prepared to take a vampire out. And then when she's almost unalived AGAIN, she discovers she has powers! And she feels the powers draining her of her energy, so instead of just using them on the vamps right away before they completely exhaust her, she stops to gloat while the powers are still running...until they run out on her.
How is this woman a detective???
But hey, the smut was good.
