3.5 Stars. 
 Overall, I enjoyed Kage. The writing style was undoubtedly easy to read, showing a cleverness that had me smiling and chuckling underneath my breath. In the beginning, it definitely felt as if a male was narrating the story, with a masculine emotional signature/action/reaction. But beneath the surface, the character development needed to be fleshed out a bit more, and not in the way that a man is more reserved with his feelings. It didn't exist, and we were INSIDE Jamie's head. The pacing was fast, for which I appreciated, but at the expense of developing any real emotions, especially by Jamie & his mother. Some plot points were devastating, yet had only a paragraph, where the author moved onto showing more of Jamie's fascination with Kage, but this left Jamie very one-dimensional. Kage was an enigma, and not in the way that he was a cool guy- more like the author wasn't sure what direction to take him yet, so made him like a ghost haunting the pages. 
 Will I read more by this author? Maybe. 
 Will I continue on with the series: At this time, no. I'm not much on series at this point in my life- busy- so I don't want to read a trilogy to get me back to a point in book one where you knew the characters were going to end up together. I just don't have patience for the journey, and that's not on the author but on me. 
 Do I believe readers will enjoy this trilogy: Absolutely.
