My thoughts on this were pretty much identical to the first book. It was a great deal of fun and I enjoyed following Kate as she investigated the mystery.

I still don't like the alpha male romance that's going on. I still think at times she's a little bit too snarky in a trying too hard kind of way. I still found some of the magic/world building confusing. And I still found myself bored in the first half, but really engrossed in the second.

Definitely want to read the third book, but I'm still not sure I'm committed to the whole series yet.
