So far it's just okay. I'll wait to see how it ends, but as it stands now, I don't think I'm interested in pursuing this new series of Frost's, especially at agency pricing. I will likely continue with the separate Night Huntress series at least for one more book, but my interest in that series is waning, so I'm not sure how much further I'll go with it.

Very slow start. If this book hadn't been given to me by a friend straight off her own bookshelf, with proclamations about how it's her favorite book ever, I probably would have given up on it. The beginning is almost all telling, very little showing, which is one of the more common failings of first-person POV. It does pick up about 30-40 pages in as the POV settles down, and so far I'm enjoying it.

This book, y'all. Holy shit. I put myself on the library's hold list thinking I'd give it a try and probably end up returning it after a few pages, but nope. It sucked me right in. Georgian dragons, y'all.

I was hesitant to try this one at first, because despite the good reviews it got at a few of my favorite blogs, the description made it seem like it wasn't my cup of tea. I succumbed when it was on sale and so far, it's not what I expected (and that's good).

It's compulsively readable, and yet I'm still not sure how I feel about the book itself.

Most of the reviews I've read on this so far say that the romance in this book isn't great. I'm somewhere 40% into the book, and so far, I can say that the other story elements are so strong that I don't care if the romance isn't great. Love Jack and George.

So far, typical anthology hit-or-miss. There are some stories I've REALLY liked (Stitch and Bitch, Shameless, and Transfixed) and not so much (Wetwire, Taken, and Each Step Sublime). The rest fall into the "okay" category. I'm looking forward to the rest, though.

I regret not reading this book sooner. It got so much positive buzz that I bought it while it was on sale, and then it just sat in my TBR pile for months because I has some misgivings. I finally dusted it off a few days ago, and I regret not starting it sooner. I love it.

I'm enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. I decided to take a break from it for a bit to read Motor City Wolf, but I didn't really NEED that break, since the book flows so well. I'm looking forward to reading even more Heyer after this.

These books seem to be getting less interesting as they go on. Motor City Fae was just great, far exceeding my expectations. Motor City Witch was good, but nowhere near as good as the first book. Now this one is okay, but I'm not crazy about it. I might stick around for Lana's book, assuming that's what's coming next, because I adore her.
