After breaking from life
with the Pack, mercenary Kate Daniels and her mate—former Beast Lord
Curran Lennart—are adjusting to a very different pace. While they’re
thrilled to escape all the infighting, Curran misses the constant
challenges of leading the shapeshifters.
So when the Pack offers
him its stake in the Mercenary Guild, Curran seizes the opportunity—too
bad the Guild wants nothing to do with him and Kate. Luckily, as a
veteran merc, Kate can take over any of the Guild’s unfinished jobs in
order to bring in money and build their reputation. But what Kate and
Curran don’t realize is that the odd jobs they’ve been working are all
connected.
An ancient enemy has arisen, and Kate and Curran are
the only ones who can stop it—before it takes their city apart piece by
piece…
So I love the Kate Daniels series.
Love it. It is as amazing I imagine the Anita Blake series could have been if Anita hadn't gone turbo slut. (I could get on board with sleeping with vamps, werewolves, etc. but when Anita slept with - I think it was a swan- and there were feathers involved...I was done.)
Anyway, I digress. Kate and Anita remind me of each other they both had screwed up childhood's and are generally kick-ass heroines. The action is pretty much non-stop with the KD series and it makes for such a fun ride.
My only disappointment with this book is that I would like to have seen more character development. I want some major changes to happen, I mean, we have Kate and Curran living together outside of the Kepp but sometimes the non-stop action puts the character development on the back burner. I don't want to see the character development become stagnant like some series (*cough*Stephanie Plum*cough*).
This book also didn't have enough Derick for me. He's one of my favorite characters and I'd like to see him play a larger role. Hell, I'd like him to get his own book! Otherwise, I thought this was a fabulous addition to a stellar series! How long until the next book.....?!?!
