Posted on May 30, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

I think I’m in love. Again. Every time I dive back into this world, I’m quickly reminded why the Kate Daniels series was (and will always be) one of my favorite urban fantasy series. It’s so powerfully written, with rich and intense characters. Throw in dangerous enemies and an expansive world; there’s plenty to love. Continue reading →

Granted, I would have bought this anthology anyway once I learned the profits went to a rescue. I’m a sucker like that. Continue reading →
