My rating: 3.5 of 5 starsSource: Library Checkout*Considering this is the 6th installment, it's highly possible there are spoilers for the previous books in the series. Beware!*I've been highly anticipating this latest installment forever. I blew threw the first five books practically all in a row and I've been hurting since. While this is quite possibly my least favorite of the series it's STILL good. This series is why I love Urban Fantasy as much as I do and even though it had it's flaws this is still one solid series. So, now for the details:What I enjoyed: The inclusion of mythological and biblical aspects was awesome. It might not have been 100% believable (but then again this is UF, so whatevs) but it was an absorbing and fascinating concept and definitely welcome to mix things up.What I hated: The stupid girl child thrown into the story just to create drama was borderline rage inducing. The drama was rampant in this installment and I ultimately felt it was all just entirely unnecessary. I was enraged for the vast majority of this book and it was a constant battle trying to calm myself.And another note on the drama: Curran. Dude. You could've handled that so much better than you did. And that's the second thing that bothered me the most... if drama can be avoided and it's NOT then you're an idiot and I hate you. Don't be dumb. Avoid the drama. If I was Kate, your head would have been on a spike. I assumed it was going to end fine but that still didn't make going through the drama any easier because his actions were so. freaking. irritating.And my biggest issue with the storyline: Kate and Curran didn't need to go through this in order to prove their relationship is everlasting and durable and all other adjectives that best describe tupperware. Kate is a badass chick and is supremely confident in herself and didn't need to be transformed into an insecure maniac for me to believe that their relationship is solid. Again, to repeat myself for the nth time... the drama was supremely unnecessary and I really could have done without.The ending was exhilarating, shocking and I loved it... if the drama llama hadn't trounced on the other 300 pages this would have garnered a higher rating from me. As it stands though this is still one of my favorite UF series, ever, and I will be anxiously awaiting future installments.
