katikatThe first book in Saintcrow's "Jill Kismet" series. I liked it well enough to try out book two, but I did have some major issues with Jill - I like my heroines strong and capable, not bitchy and condescending. And her "woe is me" attitude to her pact with Perry - well, nobody forced her to sell her soul to a demon in exchange for super powers. Tough, girl, live with it. Also, her moaning about Mikhail's death on every single page got old pretty fast too. "Mikhail, oh, Mikhail... No, don't think about him, Jill!" Sheesh. Talk about running in circles.
But! There were some things in this book that totally made up for Jill's attitude - like the Weres. Yes, I'm a big fan of werewolves and were-creatures in general and these were simply loveable - I especially loved their domestic nature. And then there was Saul Dustcircle, of course. Yes, I loved this strong and silent Were so much! Especially his need to feed Jill on a regular basis.
Also, the way the two "badies" ended in this book - it made me cry. Literally. Saintcrow definitely knows how to raise strong emotions.
