The series is current my favorite among the Urban Fantasy genre and Kate's snarky inner dialog is humorous.Meanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340490629308290265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438041449595085165.post-26722121986924886552010-07-13T02:22:51.236-04:002010-07-13T02:22:51.236-04:00That's cool.

This is due to her blood[the magic in this world is of various types], she seems to be running & hiding her trail from some1[Roland] and the "how & why" are explained in the first 2 books. <br /><br /> It makes sense plus the character is a hard edged one but as the books go by, we get to see & know more about her past & therefore about her mercenary status as well. The secrecy aspect makes much more sense then. I have read all 4 books which have been released so far & thus so far the saga has been dark & humorous.<br /><br /> MihirThe Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060590167867977158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438041449595085165.post-86770385972299380172010-07-06T14:28:29.153-04:002010-07-06T14:28:29.153-04:00Hmm, not sure about this one.

Like some sort of mix blood giving her special strength, or does she use magic, etc. Would like to know a bit more about what would allow here to "kick ass" in this type of world.Bastardnoreply@blogger.com
