There's something about this series that is kind of addicting.  I randomly decided to read the first one after reading the description rather than the dozens of other books on my TBR and I liked it.  Was it my favorite? No, but I still had a good time reading it and I think this one was on the same level as the first one.  It definitely wouldn't compare to some of my favorite books but there's something about it that makes me want to keep reading.  This one was a bit different from the first one because rather than following a police case, Cass' best friend was kidnapped and she definitely becomes reckless and desperate in her attempt to rescue her friend Scarlett.  The story is decently paced but I do think it lacks a bit in some of the character development.  I feel like Roan is meant to be a love interest for Cass but it's barely there in the book and then there's Gabriel.  He seems like he is a genuinely good guy but I'm not sure what role he is supposed to fill for Cass.  Is he supposed to be another potential love interest or a friend figure or a big brother figure.  I can't quite figure it out.  I think this one leans a little more into the fantasy element of the series and goes more into Cass' fae background.  Overall, I enjoyed it for the most part and I think I'm going to continue this series through to the end.
