The book isn't terrible taken all together, though if it hadn't improved half-way through this would have been a hate read, but it's just not particularly memorable either. Kate is a private detective operating in London, despite this being a first novel, she's got quite a past involving vampires, t...
A fun read in several ways. I quite liked the tone in general, as well as some of the characters. I think Elise remains my favourite, even though she doesn't appear that much, and I can only side with Julian when she says, basically, that [spoiler] "very few people manage to give life to something i...
What a fun paranormal romp! I was a little hesitant about this one, seeing as Glitterland by the same author had left me rather cold, but the first big bonus - NO DIALECT!!! Earned a star just for that, I swear. :) So Kate Kane is a bisexual PI (paranormal investigator) who drinks too much and ...

For me, this started poorly, so poorly that I initially did not finish it. And, once again, like with Glitterland, I gave myself a break and restarted...
2.5 starsKate lives in a dangerous world populated by lots of superbeings: vamps, weres, demons, mages, faeries...She is a supa herself, a faerie with some skillz of her own. One of them being gorgeous, as few in this world seem able to resist her charms. Oh, and she’s a huntress with a nose for the...
f/f (so awesome) buddy read with Shelley, Susan, SueC, Vicky, Anna, Deirdre, Lee and Kat, Christina Marie and.... omg, this is dizzying.:D
The paranormal PI is its own little mini-genre, and the plot and world-building here followed the main patterns of the other examples I've read, especially the heavyweight of the genre, [a:Jim Butcher|10746|Jim Butcher|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1400640324p2/10746.jpg]'s Harry Dresden series. ...
