I really liked the first book in this series but in this novel the main character (Rachel) repeatedly jumps to conclusions about who the criminal with absolutely NO proof, which is a major pet peeve of mine. I like the characters and world building enough that I will continue with the series and hopefully the author will have her mature a bit in the future and actually have her think about the evidence before going off on a tangent.

The story grew into more than I was expecting. Once you reach the climax there is no putting it down.

I do enjoy the sheer improbability and non stop action of this series.

Had an entire snow day to finish this book off and it did not disappoint me. What really drives stories for me are characters and this series is packed with all kinds of complex, interesting characters. The protagonist Rachel Morgan is wonderfully fleshed out. She's so determined and single-minded to the point where you want to reach through the pages and shake her for being so short-sighted and stubborn-but that is what makes her so real. The reader knows that she's doing things that will a, probably won't pan out how she likes it and b, will likely come back to bite her in the ass. I'm enjoying watching her abilities and her character grow. Likewise her relationship with Ivy is fascinating and complicated. It's so refreshing having a book that actually passes the Bechdel test commonly reserved for movies. The only drawback is that finishing this book only made me want to pick up the third book to see what shenanigans Rachel gets up to next.
