City of Thorns is dark, fast paced, thrilling and suspenseful. It is sexy, but not overly so. I think the heroine is smart and practical and Orion is dark, broody, arrogant, and comfortable with who he is. Characterization is just enough to get along with the plot. I love the city and his apartment. I want to live there. The magic and the demons are cool and dangerous. Although, it at times it seems they are not very different from us humans. However, in this whole world of demons, I find it incredibly hard to believe Logan would be mistaken for a succubus. But I will let it go. Other characters are diverse, which I appreciate. Different races and also sexual orientations. Book has a lot of sarcasm and insults. Makes for funny commentary. I enjoyed this book and didn't mind the cliffhanger since I am finishing the series.

What I did not like is the women fighting over the man. So tired. Also, book ended 20 pages before the end, so I felt I got cheated out of a story I was expecting.

OK, on the Book 2.
