Item 16

I'm disappointed with Kinokuniya.
I tried to pre-order Magic Bleeds through their counter before, but they asked me to come back later since it's "too early".
Turns out I didn't have the chance to physically go to the bookstore due to unforeseen circumstances.
Was it that hard to just jot down what a customer need even though it's like 2 months before the release date?
And look what happens now.
They don't even display the damn book and only have it for customers who have reserved it earlier.
I feel like bitch-slapping that male worker!

*Doing some breathing exercise*

*Inhale-Exhale-Inhale-Exhale-Fuhhhhh~*


Luckily, Uncle Google & UnderGround Forum saved the day! (I'm also a bit disappointed with the lack of updates by #ebooks :P)

Found the pdf version @ UF (thank you Leandra, I owe you!)

Spent the whole night reading it.
God, how it worth the wait!
At this point, even if the new book will only be available in hardcover, I'll spend every penny I have to own it.
It's THAT good.
Usually after 2 or 3 books, the momentum will be out and we're left with screaming fans asking for refunds.
But the Kate Daniels series is getting better and better.
In fact, in my humble opinion, Ilona & Gordon packed too many things in a book when they can come out with like at least 2 books from events in MB alone.
Thank God we have writers who believe in fast-paced story.

Oh oh.

SPOILERS ALERT



Anyway, now that Kate is Curran's mate, I can't help but to compare this series with Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson.
Granted that Adam's not as hot as Curran LOL.
After all, the lion is the KING of the jungle hoho.

It's a pity that Kate's blood relatives are made up of psychopaths.
And dare I hope that Hugh will be proven to be a help rather than a menace in the end?
I think the combination of Kate, Curran, & Hugh will provide a higher chance to defeat Roland.

Em, I hope they'll resolve the problem between Andrea & Kate in book 5.
Why do persons have to choose sides anyway, stupid Raphael.
