Located on Manhattan's Lower East Side, Golgotham has been the city's supernatural neighborhood for centuries. Populated by countless creatures from myth and legend, the neighborhood's most prominent citizens are the Kymera, a race of witches who maintain an uneasy truce with New York City's humans...
Tate Eresby has accepted the unusual sights and sounds of Golgotham and made it her home. Unfortunately, a magazine has alerted trendsetting hipsters to its existence and they've descended upon the community-along with an anti-Kymera faction known as The Sons of Adam. The sudden influx of tourists escalates racial tensions to a boiling point when two Kymerans are murdered and rioting fills the streets.
My thoughts:
A series that got even better with book 2, I do love when that happens.
In this one things are heating up between humans and, well non-humans. Tate is in the middle of it all as she lives in Golgatham. Yes Tate, I do like her cos she is not kick-ass, neither is she a damsel in distress. She is just your average kind of human who loves to make things in her studio. She has a warlock boyfriend and she is very curious. Yes that puts her in trouble too. I do love kick-ass heroines, but it's a nice change to have someone like Tate. She also puts all her faith in love, because when things got tricky in Golgatham, well I would have left. It was scary there for a long moment of the book.
Oh look I made this short :D

A great series, that I do recommend.

ReplyDeleteI know, usually it goes straight to hell ;)
DeleteI agree this one was better, I really liked it and I'm curious to see what we will have next time.
ReplyDeleteI did not know a 3rd book was coming ;) But then it has been long coming too
DeleteHm... found another series for me, eh? So glad that the second is better. Now, I need to read the first!
ReplyDeleteI am eeevil ;)
DeleteSounds really nice, that one!
ReplyDeleteI sure liked it
DeleteThis looks like a great new series. I love the cover. *puts it on my wishlist*
ReplyDeleteGood :D I am on a UF roll
DeleteIt's almost Friday!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is FRIDAY :D
DeleteSounds good. It's unusual for the second book to be even better. Glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteBut I am glad when it happens
DeleteI will have to read this series, I like what you write about it.
ReplyDeleteGood :D I love my UF
DeleteShe can hold her own, ok not all the time cos her opponents do have magic
ReplyDeleteAs a lefty, I find the title magical *winks* This does sound good and I am glad you are loving it!
ReplyDeleteLol, then I guess this is the magic book for you
DeleteI love a series that gets better as it goes as well, there's nothing more disappointing than loving a first book and then having that love fade as more books come out:)
ReplyDeleteI know, it has happened a lot, and every time I get so disappointed cos then book 1 is not worth much any more
DeleteI've never heard of this series but it sounds great. Especially when book two is just as good as the first.
ReplyDeleteBest feeling ever :D
DeleteI've never heard of this series but it sounds really good. You are bad for my wishlist. Lol.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I am bad for myself too
DeleteThanks for introducing me to yet another new series lol sounds like my cup of tea :)
ReplyDeleteI am reading way too many ;)
DeleteThis sounds good.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a nice change for those of us who read tons of UF :) and I'm glad book #2 is better. I will try this series, Bodeuedd.
ReplyDeleteYay :D Oh I read way too many UF books. How will I remember all my series
DeleteI agree that it's a nice change of pace to have a heroine that doesn't totally kick ass, but she's also not helpless. Just a normal gal. Gives me hope that I might survive an UF book if I were thrown into one! :-) Definitely adding this to my UF wish list. Great review!
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes it did make me feel that I perhaps could survive a day or two ;) Not something I feel in other books
DeleteOh so good to hear it gets better! :) I like the sounds of this series. Haven't got it yet, but do like the sounds of it. :) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you get to it one day :)
DeleteShort, simple, but you made up for that with your opening sentence! Makes me want to check these books out!
ReplyDeleteGood :D
