Finally a heroine worthy of -maybe?- challenging Kate Daniels as my all-time favorite leading lady in the paranormal/fantasy genre! Best of all, I have lots of books in this series to look forward to.

What a waste of my monthly credit! I listened to this audiobook for as long as I could stick it out, but finally gave up and dropped it.

Emerson -the protagonist - thinks SO much of herself that she becomes unbearable after the first couple of chapters, constantly harping about how smart she is, how efficient, how utterly fan-tast-tic... Anyone like her would hardly have any friends, it becomes completely unbelievable that she has so many and soooooo loyal. Not to say anything about her hubris: no sooner has she discovered that she has magic, than she things she can manage any magical need or event by herself and even quarrels with her best friend who wants to coach and mentor her over the first few days until she finds her "magical feet".

And the writer just flogs some scenes to death -for example the initial magical attack at the cemetery. It was never-ending, repeating what had already been said over and over. Needless to say, Emerson never even credits her friend Jacob who flies to her rescue and is wounded again and again: after the event, she repeatedly states that she defeated the attacking critters herself.

Overall, an absolute let-down.

I am thoroughly enjoying the SPI series. The protagonist makes me laugh out loud with her sassy and witty running commentary, the acton and twists never stop, and I have listened to all the books so far in just one day!

I have read some reviews on other websites lamenting the lack of fiery sex and criticizing the fact that Mac and Ian do not hook up. Personally I prefer the slow burn romance in the book, the latent possibility that they might finally become a couple, and I am not spoiling anything if I say that Rake is becoming better and better as we get to know him. Plus the slow evolution of Mac’s love life ensures there will be several more SPI books in the series! 😄 Win-win in my view..

So far the first two books in the SPI series have kept me gripping the edge of my chair with the non stop action. Plus Mackenna’s running inner commentary often makes me laugh out loud. I have listened to both in one single day each. And it looks like romance will be added in the third book!
