WOW. It was a fantastic read! This book deserves all the stars and more! 
 My feelings are still in overdrive and words fail me. I'm afraid that any moment I will be slipping into fangirl territory. 
 This was an emotional gauntlet and a rollercoaster all in one, it made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me rage, and despair, and cheer for the characters, it kept me on the edge of my seat. It made me want to quote every other page. 
 Kate was awesome. She is the best female protagonist I've ever read about. If you haven't yet met her, you are seriously missing out. But it is not just her, I love ALL the characters in this series, even the baddies. (view spoiler)[and when I say I like the baddies, I naturally mean Hugh, not the freaky lamassu (hide spoiler)] 
 The plot was gripping. The fight scenes were powerful and mesmerizing. Ilona is a pro at writing them. And her ability to sprinkle the most unexpected and intense moments with humor never ceases to amaze me. 
 I highly recommend this series to everyone.
