I really enjoyed this latest installment in the Kate Daniels series. You see more development of her relationship with Curran, other characters and the Pack and new characters and groups are introduced. She's continuing to become stronger and learn what she needs to know to take on Roland (view spoiler)[ I'm interested to find out who that was speaking to her while she was cleansing Julie's blood; since she then receive the flowers and note from Hugh d'Ambray, so we think it's him? (hide spoiler)]. 
 I'm glad Andrea's back and hope that she and Raphael patch things up in the future (view spoiler)[ especially since she's effectively been forced to join the boudas (hide spoiler)]. Andrea's presence lets us see the side of Kate she shows her friends, rather than her lover, the Pack or her enemies. 
 (view spoiler)[ I'm really glad the witches have made Rowena serve Kate for three years and swore her to secrecy - she was key in providing the knowledge to help Julie and can help Kate learn how to control vampires and further explore her power. Paired with the teachings of her sort of aunt she should be able to grow quicklyI'm also glad that Kate was able to reassure herself that Curran truly loves her and isn't just in it for the tactical advantage. 
 While some recurring characters died there wasn't a lot of grief attached and all of my favorites made it through just fine, as they promised they would. I don't want to wait a whole year to find out what happens! (hide spoiler)]
