Good second book with its own storyline. I enjoy Keiko and her father’s relationship, but find the author doesn’t carry secondary characters through the series well. I missed being able to watch Keiko and Martinez together as they’re no longer partners.

This Sequel Does Not Dissapoint
Keiko Miller has become one of my favorite fictional characters. She’s smart, funny, and compassionate, and she talks to herself. Her work in the Bureau of Souls brings risks far beyond those other agents face. If her secrets are revealed it could mean the end of more than her career. Great read. I’d gladly give this book 10 stars if I could.

WOW
This series will make you're want to go on reading this book series to go on to the end and maybe want to go back to the first book.

Hunted really lives up to the promise that Caged had made, as a brilliant piece of writing!
Keiko is getting closer and closer to being found out as a Yokai, and the case that she finds herself on, makes it ever more possible that someone will find out her secret.
There's also a problem with her experiments in finding out the right processes, that will help her Mother come back to this plane, through the veil, especially as the cost iof the ingredients, necessary for her experiments, are ever more expensive - and Keiko finds herself taking risks she knows she shouldn't!
Keiko's Dad is also getting worse, as the Dementia takes another leap, and this leaves her questioning her relationship with her boyfriend, Beni, too.
She also ends up with an unusual, English, houseguest, called Bruce!
As an undeclared Yokai, Keiko is finding it ever harder to be sympathetic to the Bureau of Soul's attitudes to her fellow Yokai, and sometimes her actions, which seem inexplicable to her co-workers, leave her vulnerable to discovery.
I absolutely love Keiko. She's smart, and brave, and living under such pressure I'm amazed that she stays sane.
She really is amazing at her job, too - but then I guess it's the Yokai side of her that gives her the edge that her co-workers lack.
If these first two books of the series, plus Shadowed, are the baseline of this series, then I know I still have an amazing journey to look forwards to, with the rest of it.
These books are so well written, and so full of an amazing amount of detailed information, that I feel as though I slipped straight into Keiko's life, like a silent observer, experiencing everything as she does.
It's rare for me to have that total immersive experience, and I'm always grateful when I do - but that makes me ever more impatient to get on to the next part of the story!
Oh, I cried when Bruce went!
So, without ado, I'm off to start book four: Mirrored.
I'll catch you on the flip side, and let you know if it lives up to this book - which, with the quality of writing, so far, is a surety! 🤣
