Nice. A bit deeper than most of the Magical Romantic Comedy books - there are serious consequences in the mystery (quite a few deaths, though only one character, I think, that we are actually shown in the story). Cheetah lycanthropes have more problems than most species, and the PI who's partnered with one has his own problems. The re-solving of solved problems is somewhat amusing. The villains are _not_ amusing and I'm very pleased that they're dealt with...the dealing with _is_ rather amusing. But like a lot of these books, there's intervention from angels and (I think) incubi to shortcut solutions. ( )

Where’s the plot?

This is a mess. Putting aside the typos that should have been caught before publishing, the plot moves at a random pace while the characters bicker. What’s worse is they all end up sounding the same. There was no individuality in their voice. Without names and descriptions to set each person apart they end up being androgynous clones who all share the same love of banter.

The murders get solved as an after thought. Complete ‘deus ex machina’ except it’s an archangel that essentially waves his hand and makes everything good.

Dead horses beaten: (shoes, virus levels, filial hijinks, fire ants,...) at least 7

Avoid this at all costs. I enjoy witty repartee, but I insist novels have more than just banter.

This series has devolved into crap. There are some interesting ideas and a fascinating world trapped under garbage dialogue. I keep hoping the next one will be better. Hope is fading fast. ( )
