So...that cover. It's the worst part of the book and the only part that I don't like. Honestly, I'm almost embarrassed to have it on my shelf, and I can't imagine actually reading it in public. I seriously debated whether I even wanted it on my favorites list because ok, maybe I'm that shallow, but I have a hard time forcing myself to even LOOK at that cover. 
 Ilona Andrews is one of my all time favorite authors and the fact that it's a pseudonym for a husband and wife team just makes it that much better. I knew this book would be great, but I still didn't think it would be as awesome as it ended up being. I do have to say that the male and female heroines in this book bear strong resemblance to the Kate Daniels characters (one of my all time favorite UF series), but hey, when it's that good, what's bad about bringing on more of the same? 
 Meanwhile, I'm going to pray that this series ends up becoming super popular as it deserves to be, makes it into hardcover, and new covers will be made eventually. Please, dear God.
