I loved this book the first time around and YEP loved it the second time too. I was pressed for time and ended up listening and even though I really don't like the narration for Bones's voice I still loved it. Once again, though, I remembered next to nothing!

I think the thing that is striking me most in these later book rereads is the way I hadn't read any of the night huntress books and wasn't thrown at all by the developments that had happened outside of Cat and Bones's world. Like Dense plays a pretty significant role in this book - thanks to things that happened in Night Huntress - and that never bothered me before that I didn't know what had happened?

That said, I enjoyed this villain so much. He's just the definition of evil and I like that, FINALLY, we're not having a bad guy that's all caught up in Cat. I mean yeah he gets fixated on her, but not because of who she is or some major supernatural power play... just because he's evil! And a ghost bad guy is super brilliant. I'm also interested in the things that are happening with Cat's old team - but it reeks of political plays and schemes. Normally I find that interesting but right now I'm exhausted by politics so I don't know if I'm going to enjoy that story line as it progresses in the next book.

As I've mentioned a few times, I really do not enjoy this narration. Tavia Gilbert delivers a fine performance for everyone EXCEPT Bones. And for Bones it's just awful (for me). I know part of this is that I have such a clear picture of Bones in my head and it just doesn't even come close to that picture. But I also just think she really missed the mark on who Bones is and thus the accent is all wrong. That said, everyone else is fine and at least I was able to get through the book in time for our chat.
