I'm usually not a big fan of urban fantasy, but this third opus totally won me over. In the first two novels, the heroine was the best feature of the series. Now we have a lot of intriguing side characters as well as a male hero fleshed up and nicely presented, with a lot of layers and fun interactions. Mix this with kick ass arena fights, horrific villains and a "Star Wars" alike family story, and you've got an entrancing read.
