It's very rare for me that I get 5 books deep into an urban fantasy series and am still amused by the witty banter, learning new things about relationships between characters, and still interested in how the main character solves problems. Magic Slays must be the golden exception. Even two books into a commited relationship between Curran, the Beast Lord, and our heroine, Kate, I am not bored by their interactions. They still snark, sometimes physically confront eachother, and Kate's ways of slipping around Curran's attempts at "handling" her are great. In this book, Kate's newly minted "Cutting Edge" investigations company isn't doing much business. Luckily, her old friend from the order, Andrea, is back, snark in hand, and Curran saddles Kate with two troubled youngster shapeshifters to keep things unstable and interesting. Meanwhile, Kate's ward, Julie, has left her boarding school yet again, one of Curran's shapeshifter warriors has gone loco and AWOL, and it seems more and more people know about Kate's connection to the most powerful Master of the Dead in North America. A vampire gets loose from it's controller, and Kate's old friend, Ghastek, hurriedly gets Kate and Andrea to catch it. Strangely enough, magic seems to be wonky around this loose vampire, and Kate is soon drawn into a case involving Eastern European witches and volvhs, a secret anti-magic society, and her own past. Meanwhile, the action is believable, the pacing never lets you rest, and the banter is so much fun you don't mind at all how everyone Kate meets has the same tendency to snark rather than ask questions. Excellent addition to the series, just loads of fun to read. (Definitely don't read it as a stand alone, though, lots of stuff going on that is much more meaningful having read the prior books.) This Book's Food Designation Rating: A tray of assorted crackers and cheese such that each bite is something familiar enough that you know what you're getting, but varied enough to keep your attention.
