The fifth novel in the series is fast moving and full of story lines that keep the reader focused. I've been hooked on Kate Daniels since I read the first novel in this series. Kate doesn't know much about her past but in this novel she is about to discover some truths she may wish she didn't know.
In addition, it's fun to see her relationship with the Beast Lord, Curran, maturing as they become a duo tackling paranormal problems in Atlanta. These include rogue vampires, magic that is going wrong and actions that can possibly destroy her beloved Atlanta.
Kate has moved into the Keep with Curran where she is called Consort. Curran is so protective that she chaffs at the limits he sets. She has her own investigative business and has been joined by her best friend, Andrea, who was fired by the Order when she turned into her alternate form of a hyena. Their first case involves finding a man and his device that have disappeared from under the Red Guard.
Kate has discovered that the device destroys magic and those who wield it. She believes that Saiman can shed some information about the missing man and his device. When she and Derek go to visit Saiman they find him packing and as they talk bullets riddle the door. They survive the attack but Kate has a feeling that something is wrong at her office where Julie, her ward, Joey and Ascanio are barricaded inside. They arrive to find that something is indeed wrong and action heats up.
The character cast expands but we read more about Julie, Kate's adopted daughter, and a new bouda Kate inherits because he is giving Aunt Bea, head of the boudas, problems. It's difficult to understand what is happening unless you have read earlier novels in this series where several of the characters are more fully developed. All in all, I thought the complexity of this one was my best read of the series.
