Flytrap

This book was a bit of a different format than the first two because Harry doesn't really have a “case” and the stakes are mostly personal. Because of this I found it got a bit unfocused in places since she's both the detective and the client. I'm really enjoying a few of the recurring characters and I love the way the problem was finally solved. Overall great book.

Unfortunately I think this was the weakest book so far. Despite liking the world and concept of the story a lot I didn't like what the novel chose to focus on content or style wise. I pushed through to finish this one (mostly because as said I enjoy the world and some characters which is also why I still rolled this up to a 3 despite not enjoying it much) but I don't think I will be continuing the series.

(to elaborate a bit on the above: even though the stakes are higher than ever we get multiple chapters concerned with Harry dating a completely normie human girl, like a full chapter of awkward date banter, later just them hanging out and I think two sex scenes which I skipped because I was so annoyed at that point, this is not a very long book and focusing on this just seems like the wrong priority to me. Also the love interest of the previous book Lilith simply is more interesting on grounds of being already established and not just. a non-magical human. I think this series has a weakness in introducing a new cast of characters in every book so far and by this point it should already have a well established cast (Lilith and Bautista who both make an appearance in this are excellent characters for example). Likely her new love interest in this book is going to become more interesting later but this book suffers for it.)
