Huh. It's weird, definitely weird. Sam Spade meets Animal Farm meets Brave New World. Complex mystery, plenty of characters, some of whom could use more backstory, but plenty of world-development. This might actually need some digesting...

Kitty getting into trouble again!

April 27, 2015

I read the previews so I knew this was a short one, I would say it's a bit boring in places and with a distinctly “side quest” feel, but it does progress the larger story arc so that's good I guess.

Liked this, but hard to say why. Not a lot of emotion or interpersonal stuff, lots of logistics and tactics. Hmm. But, nevertheless, I DID like it.

I love this series. Just love it, in spite of an almost total lack of supernatural or fantastical elements. :)

April 7, 2015

This was so charming and engaging, I loved it!

Loved this. Good, complex story, many facets, and introduction of new and different creatures without them taking over the story entirely.

Good clean fun! Steampunk, complex enough for adults but gentle enough for YA.

Complex, well-built world with lots of potential, story was a little too dark for me, hopefully the next one has some comic relief!

Y'know, I'd taken a break from this series, and I wasn't sure how easy it'd be to get back into it. The answer is: EASY! This was really fun, all your favorite occasional-but-interesting characters all in one place showing their talents and ...yeah, really liked this one. :)

There's more out there than vampires and werewolves...and Kitty's finding out!

My new favorite. Hilarious and feminist! :)

An old favorite, still awesome.

This one was a bit more intense for me, but I really am getting into these.

October 20, 2016

I like this! New creatures new Canon and a complicated story with a good setting. I'm glad I have the other two books already :)

lots of typos/wrong words and awkward dialog, but a cute little side story.

November 30, 2017

I like these. Although this one is starting to lean towards “Anita Blake queen of the everything”. Which is not my favorite method of plot resolution, discovering a new talent.

November 27, 2016

Story was a bit odd, rather disorganized and lacking the feeling of closure or satisfaction I'm used to from the prior books. I think I'll follow along for the next book and see what I think after that.

July 26, 2015

Repeat “read” via Audible. Still love it, and the new one is out, need to get through the next couple quick!! :)

Good stuff! But all the extra little “side quests” made it drag a little.

May 6, 2017

Interesting! Good list of guidelines whether you're normal and doubting yourself, a clutterer, or a full-on hoarder, plus a lot of ways to change how you think about things to encourage yourself NOT to clutter/hoard. Worth a listen! :)

An old favorite.

I almost want to take a star off for missing Belinda. But the story was good, and the ending was unexpected.
