It took me some time to rate this book. On the one hand, it was great and I could't put it down. On the other hand, there was too much gore and blood and I'm definitely not the kind of person who enjoys reading about it. Fair warning - unless you are a student of a medical college, you better not read this book while eating )) 
 That being said, this book is also extremely funny and it had me laughing out loud or grinning lots of times. You could quote almost every other sentence. 
 After all, I decided to give it 5 stars, because that is how I rate the books that capture me in a whirlwind of emotions and make reading a roller coaster ride, no matter the drawbacks. 
 The pacing is very quick, the characters are great, the story is interesting. 
 I think Kate is one of my favorite female protagonists now. Her POV is so much fun to read. She is witty, courageous, loyal and a lot of other things, without being annoyingly perfect. And most importantly, never once did the author make her do stupid things for the sake of a plot twist. Kudos for Ilona Andrews for that! 
 And, of course, one of the best things about this story is the romance between Kate and Curran. Or, more precisely, love-hate, kiss-you-one-minute-kick-your-ass-the-next kind of relationship. The romance is not in full swing yet, but there is so much tension, sexual and otherwise, that you can almost see the sparks in the air around them.
