A mixed bag here. I really enjoy the setting, as always, and I continue to enjoy everything that makes this book urban fantasy. Kate's crazy aunt was especially creepy, and sometimes it's nice to have a villain who's just completely off their rocker, someone you're not expected to sympathise with. On the other hand, the paranormal romance has been cranked up here, and that wouldn't be a problem but for the fact that Kate and Curran are deeply unappealing together. At least for me they are. Hopefully now they've finally hooked up the constant squabbling will stop. Honestly, so much of what they do is fight that it stops coming across as sexual tension and starts coming across as a couple of people who, deep down, don't actually like each other but just can't stand the thought of the other person finding someone they do like. 

I'm far more invested in the friendship between Kate and Andrea than I am in the main pairing, and unless the romantic leads shape the hell up and soon, that's not going to change.
