The secondary characters introduced are also a lot of fun to read about Each with their own hangups and quirks they always brought often hilarious banter to the table Even the characters that annoyed me were still likable because they were so clueless Lookin at you Patrick The negative At times I felt like the world building didn t get enough attention It was detailed enough but every now and then I was left questioning what exactly was going on It really is a minor issue and takes nothing away from the awesomeness that is this book.

Genrequeer writer of kissing books. PDF Iron velveteen rabbit Please note I don t read reply to DMs If you would like to get in touch the best way is via email which you can find in the contact section on my website 3Recently I wrote a review of a book I can t even remember oh wait yes I do it was this blah POS in which I stated that I suffer from a horrible disease that makes me read books I know are just going to suck It helps if there s a half naked man on the cover I m a publisher s wet dream I fall for the man boobs every time. Iron velvetloft sheets But I digress man boobies are distracting There s another disease I suffer from I like to call it Rosa really really likes your book except when she doesn t and then she feels really really bad about it Or if you re feeling pithy RRRLYBEWSDATSFRRBAI Why yes I am hilarious Thank you for noticing I was going to DNF Iron Velvet at 52% But I so rarely DNF books that I caved to my guilt complex and decided to at least skim the last half I feel really really bad about the fact that even after finishing the book I still don t like it I wanted to like it I wanted to be one of the readers who oohed and awed over it Instead I m one of the readers who are FUCKING BORED by this book. Iron Velvet pdf merger It started out well Love at first sentence I woke up to the taste of stale whiskey and the smell of stale cigarettes Sounds like my kind of gal There are multiple amusing quotes on every page The whiskey was smooth and rich and probably expensive Truthfully I m not that much of a connoisseur I just like to get drunk Oscar Wilde he drawled wrote that a cigarette is the perfect type of perfect pleasure It is exquisite and leaves one unsatisfied He paused Wanker On the stage the singer started on one of those classic blues songs where a guy shoots his wife and is sad about it. Iron velvetloft sheets Awesome right I love anything involving a drunken jaded PI Anything noir The start of this book is an homage to The Maltese Falcon Kate Kane s partner Archer was murdered by the chick Kate was sleeping with who she then had to either kill or have arrested I can t remember and oh yeah she still hasn t found that bird thing Archer was looking for That s pretty much the entire plot of The Maltese Falcon That and the Casablanca references made this book pretty cool I m a woman who will practically orgasm at the thought of Humphrey Bogart Then we got to the sexy times So many many metaphors I fell into her kisses wine and roseleaves and a little drop of poison Take me Jebus I can t take any I don t give a shit if Julian s hair is like feathers or her skin s like pale marble JUST FUCKING FUCK ALREADY. Iron velvetiser hotel Alexis Hall is quite fond of metaphors similes etc It took me 3 readings of Glitterland to get past them and decided that I liked Ash In that book I was just so exhausted by Ash constantly describing his depression bipolarism as waves crashing on a shore blah blah blah I felt he was something of a drama queen and needed to get over himself Eventually I came to the conclusion that that was simply Ash s way of describing his condition Poetically So I like it coming from him but it is completely out of place in a book that claims to be a parody Or is full of dry humor It s just jarring. Iron Velvet epubs And then there was the info dumpage that I don t even have the energy to quote Also I found the lack of world building to be confusing Do humans know about the supernatural world Do the supernatural people run the world Do humans know a little but the supernatural people just try and keep it to themselves for the most part I DON T KNOW This is the type of info I like in my paranormal romance urban fantasy Also if Julian called Kate sweeting one time I was prepared to FREAK THE FUCK OUT 34 times people THIRTY FUCKING FOUR I tried saying it out loud I called my dog that a couple of times it does not roll off the tongue I would prefer about 800 babies in this book to one sweeting This review is exhausting me so to sum up I feel like Hall was a little too fond of his MC a little too fond of the world he created and a little too fond of references to other books and movies He was enjoying himself and it shows but I think it would ve made a better book if a really good editor had suggested he cut out about 40% of it and got on with the plot And I can t believe I m saying that because I usually love character driven stories But I still don t feel like I know Kate She s just a purveyor of dry humor. Book Iron velvet underground Okay that s over with Now here s a super cute pic that will make us all feel better I feel better Don t you Iron Velvet Kate Kane Paranormal Investigator 1 Massive Character Crush The plot PI Kate Kane gets hired to solve the murder of a werewolf left behind the club of vampire Prince Julian Saint Germain Time is of the essence when soon another attack follows and tensions between vampires werewolves mages demons and faeries is at an all time high All Kate has to do is find the killer keep her current GF safe from her former GF while resisting the charms of the local pack s Alpha who happens to be a lingerie model The characters Kate Fucking Kane Where do I even begin when describing how much I love this character Initially when I first got to know her I thought oh that s Micky Knight from book one But then she also reminded me of Kenzi from Lost Girl with the wickedness of Mae West but also. Iron velvetloft blanket Dorothy Zbornak I may be jumping the gun here but Kate Kane may just be or at least become my favorite character Certainly for 2020 and possibly longer The writing The entire story from beginning to end had me entertained It s packed with action and humorous oneliners witty banter and sexy sarcastic snark I m having difficulty describing the writing to be honest If you ve seen the show Fleabag you know there are moments when the character breaks the fourth wall to address the viewer This feels similar I don t even know how many times I found myself grinning and laughing like an idiot at Kate s antics The special As amazing as Kate is so far failed to completely solve Well bollocks Iron Velvet Kate Kane Paranormal Investigator 1 2. Iron Velvet pdf converter 5 starsKate lives in a dangerous world populated by lots of superbeings vamps weres demons mages faeriesShe is a supa herself a faerie with some skillz of her own One of them being gorgeous as few in this world seem able to resist her charms Oh and she s a huntress with a nose for the scent which helps her PI work Kate s been hired to investigate the dead bodies piling up in London The premise is interesting a lesbian private dick I m cynical not a complete dick who battles baddies Kate starts off engagingly enough She s full of tude in fact she s a snarkfest of badass with a slut rep to boot Colorful A heavy drinker I ve got a killer on the loose a war on the horizon and a scotch on the rocks It s going to be an interesting day with a penchant for girls she s been known to toss a few boys between the sheets too Vamps weres faeries it doesn t matter to Kate She s an equal opportunity huntress I like her It always starts with scent traces of damp earth fresh blood and cold starlit nights This was who I was A hunter Kate s romantic counterpart Julian the Prince of Cups vamp leader who is in fact a she is an ex demon hunting ninja nun She s made some enemies who want to do her harm She s tough every bit as snarky and wears her confidence well I m also a hedonistic bloodsucking narcissist with nearly a thousand years worth of enemies but I m never dull In this world where a girl can be a Prince and wear a man s name with panache yes Julian makes a good foil for Kate She hires Kate to find out who is targeting her vamp family and they start their mating dance But I never get a real sense for just what she see s in Kate romantically besides the superficial These two MC s are pretty okay so what happened From the beginning the story suffers from awkward plot transitions and flow the first half so slow moving And there are so many characters that a chart is necessary to keep them all straight Also we aren t invested in them How can we be The sheer numbers of them mean little to no development we re merely told who they are and how they react as we hop back and forth between them I m Henry by the way My friends call me Harry Bunny calls me Hal Dude that s a lot of names Sorry who s Bunny again Kate Even the characters are confused The language is littered with similes also an issue with Hall s other book Glitterland and in the sex scenes they re just silly This is Kate s voice is she really thinking this during sex her passion and her ease in it heated my skin like lovers breath she sparkled in my mouth like champagne kisses landed on her skin as vivid as butterflies the idle play of her fingertips glittered over me like dew across a spider s web and she lay underneath me like an unexploded grenade yikes And when the characters start speaking in similes too well c mon now really Does the tart flavour of the strawberries perfectly complement the dry sweetness of the meringue like dust motes dancing on an April morning There are some great words on the page In fact some of them go together quite nicely But not all of them And there s the dilemma it s a data dump with lots of window dressing but little depth too much clever going on and trying too hard All this only gets in the way of the story and some good main characters who have real potential The mystery wasn t especially entertaining either even though the action finally picked up towards the end I was ultimately left unsatisfied. Iron horse velvet shine What about the lesbian sex you may ask Coming from the male slash world I gotta say I found the two sex scenes not especially titillating But maybe I m just a cockamamie penis centric dick biased reader I was hoping for much in this first installment of Kate s adventures it took me two tries to finish it Perhaps others will find lots to love here but it just wasn t my cuppa 2. Book Iron velveteen rabbit Yeah I was liking those odds too because foremost Iron Velvet is highly entertaining and funny with a nice romance on the side and lots of serious arse kicking as the main dish. Iron Velvet book Part of the blurb sums it up nicely Now half the monsters in London are at each other s throats and the other half are trying to get in my pants The Witch Queen will protect her own the wolves are out for vengeance and the vampires are out for y know blood. EPub Iron velveting And fun it was I laughed a lot I smiled even because Kate is just a loveable smart and quirky protagonist Alexis creates a world with lots of paranormal creatures and there is just so much to discover Delightful It s a large world full of secrets and magic There is never a dull moment and we ve got lots of interesting and captivating secondary characters too. Iron velvet art She s also not your usual politically correct female because she drinks smokes lives in a mess has lot s of sex even the casual kind gasp and plainly just lives as she pleases And can I just say how absolutely fantastic and awesome this is Because this so is awesome Gimme mooooaaar She s also a half blood Faery Princess not getting along with her dark bloodthirsty mother at all or well not acknowledging her at all is like it By the way I think Faeries are evil and creepy and not to forget narcissistic as fuck shudders It s good Kate isn t squicked out easily because wow this is not for the faint hearted So much grossly horror here. Iron and velvet kate kane Oh and there is this kinda recurring joke about how she s gonna die It s really not important for the review or anything but I just love them and here are my favourite ones Here lies Kate Kane Killed in a foreplay accident Beloved daughter Sorely missed. Iron Velvet book Now for Kate s love interest Yes I was a faery blooded thirty something PI with trust issues and a drinking problem and she was a psychotic undead nun with a pudding fixation but I really thought we were in for a chance. Iron velveting meat I think Julian our 800 year old Vampire Prince and pudding loving ninja nun is just soooo cute And pretty And sexy And did I say cute You didn t invite me here to practice cheap pickup lines She grinned No but I m willing to be flexible if you are. Iron Velvet book Oh boy did I love the banter between them The banter with everyone to be precise There s so much of it but without being over the top or getting on your nerves I was jus in a constant state of grinning. Iron velvet cleaning Though it s not the main focus in the book the romance complements the action and suspense plot very well As opposed to other books in this genre we don t get a mystical insta love or insta lust story There are just two girls sharing a mutual attraction and tenderly starting a relationship As simple as this sounds this was especially what I liked about Kate s and Julian s relationship I m looking forward to see how they will do in the next books. Iron Velvet book The sex was fun too also passionate and I loved the quiet romantic moments after Julian s bedtime stories about her past the way she tells them how Kate asks about her was just awwww inducing. Iron Velvet epub reader After Kate and Julian my next favourite characters are Ashriel the celibate demon incubus Kate and Ashriel have the best conversations ever and Elise I appear to be impervious to physical harm I have no need to eat sleep or breathe and I can bring a man to orgasm within 30 seconds I am a statue Miss Kane carved from stone and animated with stolen fire. Iron velvetgh0st gossip There s also our bad ass alpha werwolf lingerie model Tara and some mysterious super powerful witch chicks And not to forget the aforementioned Patrick the vamp ex Gosh I don t know how Kate can stand him I want to punch him in the face the whole time. Iron velvet art Oh and let me just tell you some cryptic bullshit about the plot Big bad faery shit lord killed your boyfriend and captured your vampire granny A bunch of us are getting together to fuck it up Do you want in Flats or heels Yes that would have been my answer exactlyI absolutely adore that for those who are interested there is a lot of background info on Alexis Hall s website too There s even an awesome playlist My favourite song is the second by the way which reminds me a lot of Julian. PDF Iron velvet sky Gosh I love things like this DSo you realised probably how much I loved this book That s because tis amazing In the end all I can say is if you re in the mood for some paranormal action fun you ve found your book I really recommend it You ll find everything you need here My review for Shadow Dreams Iron Velvet Kate Kane Paranormal Investigator 1 So upon reading my second book by this author I noticed similar if not exactly the same likes and dislikes I had with his first book Glitterland For me this started poorly so poorly that I initially did not finish it And once again like with Glitterland I gave myself a break and restarted it and carried on to finish The second half Sweet whisky Jesus where did this come from Why wasn t the rest of the book like this I can t figure out why in both instances with this author the books have started out so meh so frustrating and then when a big event happens in the middle of the book things all start going up hill It leads to some really happy moments towards the end but overall a disappointing reading experience. Iron hand velvet glove Let me start off by saying that I don t feel the characters in this were developed And that goes for all of them There are also way way too many characters that we are told what they are or who their names are with nothing to grab onto to remember I don t want to have to draw a flowchart to keep up with the narrative Mages vampires werewolves fairies monsters and the like felt as if they were thrown in a felt bag tossed around and dumped out onto the page at random At times I had to wonder if I was watching every single episode of True Blood mashed into a metaphorical TV miniseries Those elements could have been awesome and I wanted them to be awesome but I didn t feel it became interesting or clear until after the halfway mark. Iron & velvet alexis hall I think the language got in the way of the story as well Fans of Glitterland might not have that issue but in my opinion that was the superior book The similes etc all became grating and the first half of the book I literally winced at the humor It felt as if the author was trying way too hard and as a result I was bored senseless After the halfway mark though the experience I had with the author s previous book happened The writing seemed to switch the flow felt natural and both the characters and the plot became likeable and amusing I don t know why this seems to keep happening but it s definitely a pattern I m noticing thus far. Iron velvetgh0st gossip Then there is the story of Kate s cases and all of the craziness she encounters Iron Velvet started off slow info dumpy and I just found the constant intrusions by mythical creatures annoying but then all of a sudden at the funeral everything went 180 degrees The action was fast paced thrilling scary and absolutely hilarious at times Aspects of the plot and the history between characters started making sense you started to get personality from the characters rather than just stand ins The horse scene was fantastic The fight between current lover and ex showed two badass females while our protagonist made quick witty remarks. Can you iron velvet jacket And then there is Kate At first I couldn t stand her but by the end she grew on me She s tough smart bitingly sarcastic and her inner dialogue amused the crap out of me I laughed and laughed and laughed Julian. Iron velvet art yawn I know only superficial things about her and I wished I had gotten a fully developed character Also those sex scenes weren t hot at all I did feel they felt natural though Natural and awkward and nice even but not steamy at all I wouldn t really classify this as a romance or even having romantic aspects Sure there is a relationship but it feels like an afterthought and when it feels like that I d rather it just not be there at all or minimized even further. Iron fist velvet glove origin So at the end I had to think what I wanted to review this and how I felt overall That second half was great and I kept wanting to rate this higher because of how damn funny it all ended and the way it flowed and held my attention But then I had to think about the characters and how I felt about them And the truth is I don t actually care about them If any of them had died or not worked out I would have been A OK and closed the book with the exact same feelings So Kate is pretty awesome the dialogue absolutely shines the language is descriptive and beautiful in many instances and the side characters made me laugh A LOT But as a package it was a bit lukewarm so I ll say I just like thissort of Iron Velvet Kate Kane Paranormal Investigator 1 Previously published newly refreshed by the author I like my women like I like my whiskey than is good for me. EPub Iron velvet Name s Kane Kate Kane I m a paranormal private investigator which is like a normal private investigator except and stop me if you re having trouble following this paranormal This business comes with a few basic rules don t start drinking before noon don t get your partner killed don t sleep with the woman who killed him. EPub Iron velveteen rabbit The only rule I didn t break was the one that said don t work for vampires But then a dead werewolf showed up outside the Soho shag palace of Julian Saint Germain a bloodsucking flibbertigibbet who s spent the last eight centuries presiding over an ever growing empire of booze sex and hemoglobin I shouldn t have taken the job The last thing I needed was to get caught in a supernatural smackdown between a werewolf pack and a vampire prince Even if the vampire prince was dangerously my type But what can I say I was broke I m a sucker for a pretty face and I gave up on making good decisions a long time ago. Iron velvetgh0st gossip 5 stars I had a lot of issues with this book which bums me out because I was actually excited to try a F F I ll try to list them all out for you guys but honestly this will probably be a quicky review because this book didn t inspire much emotion in me 1 It was boring I m sorry but it was I had to push myself to read it and I put it down many times and forced myself to pick it up again I found the long list of characters to be tedious and I couldn t get engaged with the story 2 It was confusing This book had the problem that some paranormals had with info dump It was info dump central the never ending cast of character was really hard to keep straight They were thrown in all at once and kind of haphazardly I had a very difficult time remembering who was who and how they factored into everything. Iron Velvet pdf converter 3 Kate loved by everyone and I have no idea why Seriously why Why did everyone want her and why did they even employ her in the first place She didn t seem like she was a particularly good investigator and I had no idea why all of these powerful people kept throwing themselves at her. Iron velvetloft sheets 4 The paranormal aspect I happen to love paranormals and I am picky about them because I read a lot of them In this instance the world building was not well done in my opinion There was too much going on and not enough was explained in an organic way I didn t like the way the cast of characters came together it was all very quick and not to my taste 5 The sexy times They weren t sexy They were often interrupted or felt detached I would have loved to read some down and dirty lesbian sex scenes but I really didn t get that. Iron velveth Now this book is not all bad I liked when the author s sense of humor shown through and it reminded me a bit of the snark and bite that was present in Glitterland I liked how Kate was flawed and had vices like any other person However I think part of the issue is the vehicle of this book I think Alexis Hall should stay away from paranormal for a while I would read another F F by him but not another paranormal Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review Iron Velvet Kate Kane Paranormal Investigator 1 This was fun Actual fun with an author taking joy in the writing exuberant plotting shameless and enjoyable use of genre tropes and some lovely bits of invention I stopped reading PNR and most urban fantasy ages ago because I was so fed up with the same old same old This book takes the same old and uses it unapologetically but makes it feel fresh again It s hilarious I was laughing out loud at several points Yes you could use the word sassy but it s actually funny with it which most sassy is not Julian s voice is fantastic playing the fool with language in a glorious way and nicely set against Kate s whose spoken vocabulary mostly consists of fuck Some really lovely bits of creepy invention The zombie knights and the rat gestalt especially The King of the Court of Love speaks Middle English with thorns I m so happy The tropey handsome vampire policeman ex who still adores the heroine and is a bastard but for her own good is what those men are in real life a repellent psychotic stalker THANK YOU The heroine drinks swears kicks ass shags without any personal purity issues and at no point goes shopping or thinks about shoes I am identifying Except with the ass kicking This feels like mainstream writing It s not a lesbian romance it s an urban fantasy in which the sexuality of the characters directs who they sleep with not the entire tone plot theme of the book. Iron pineapple devil may cry It s much a fantasy than a romance and the writing won t be to everyone s taste but I wallowed in it Iron Velvet Kate Kane Paranormal Investigator 1 never been so turned on by sapphic shenanigans in my life. Iron Velvet pdf converter i think the intentional repetition was mostly a mistake eight hundred year old vampire here lies Kate Kane wine and rose petals and why our heroine left an apparently indestructible sexbot behind to mind the car instead of utilizing her in the Finerr Batturr is beyond me but aside from those quibbles I haven t had this much fun with a paranormal private investigator in ages. Iron velvet bench obviously Iron Velvet Kate Kane Paranormal Investigator 1 RANT reviews I wrote 389 reviews so far and can actually count the ranty ones on one hand Were lesbians the problem here Contrary to those who managed to or less enjoy this book upon their 2nd or 3rd attempt at first I figured it best to simply DNF it After partaking in the hype for this highly anticipated F F story with its gorgeous cover I can only feel sad about this I was so excited that my non F F reading friends were willing to make an exception for Iron Velvet So what made me push through Let s just say that I couldn t shake off the eerie sensation of d j vu and curiously chased the feeling And when a book is officially marketed as a parody it s great fun to point out all the spoofy elements that were taken from other people s work However when there s no mention of that you ll suddenly find yourself in the murky waters of reckless borrowing Perhaps there are readers who just shrug but it makes ME a tad uncomfortable as a reader and quite frankly cheated on What is actually original content and worthy of praise here and what is recycled and reproduced Do you love Ilona Andrews Magic Bites series I suppose you re in for a treat then The heroine s personality the style and vibe of Iron Velvet appear to be taken straight from Magic Bites And look at this the heroines even share a name Kate Some would call it a homage Then there s Kate s ex lover the vamp Patrick whom she met in biology class Patrick is creepily possessive and secretly watches her sleep You really need another hint He also sparkles That doesn t stop Kate who is often referred to as Miss Kane from doing business with a beautiful and deadly sex demon with the promise of sex rolling of him Kate s lucky Karen Marie Moning s Jericho Barrons didn t pop up in Iron Velvet as well The big bad JZB would have tattooed Miss Kane like he did with his Miss Lane Other reviewers expressed their delight with the highly original rat people in Iron Velvet I m slightly less impressed but perhaps this is because I had the pleasure of meeting them before in Neil Gaiman s Neverwhere I thought it was funny when Kate talked herself into places by pretending to be from Horse Hound Magazine Until I realized that I d heard the exact same joke somewhere else when Hugh Grant uttered it in Notting Hill So I won t mention the many occasions on which I was reminded of Rowling and Tolkien s work Sigh fair enough One example the false lights that draw Kate from the trail in the werewolf infested woods and into danger Didn t this gurl learn anything from Bilbo Baggins I highlighted a bunch of other suspicious moments I have theories about but it would remind me too much of my thesis days to get into each and every one of them I think the general idea is clear though. Iron velvetgh0st gossip And you know what makes me curious The fact that I m not even a PNR and urban fantasy fanatic and therefore probably only scratched the surface It s almost like a cool puzzle you guys Anyone knows where Elise the friendly golem is taken from She behaves exactly like Star Trek s Data but I realize that he s a robot and not a Frankensteinesque creature And I wonder who invented those Ninja zombie nuns first Isn t that so sad That every little piece of creativity in this book should make you second guess where it s from Now if Iron Velvet would be extraordinarily fabulous otherwise there s a tiny possibility that I might not even have minded all these borrowed ideas that much Unfortunately this book is a hot mess if I ever saw one It seems to consist of random chunks of text in which one dimensional character Kate but she does have violet colored eyes runs around like a beheaded chicken to solve some murder Along the way she meets a dizzying amount of pointless characters with impossible to remember funky names except maybe for Nimue but then again you ll usually find her in the company of Arthur Merlin who you mostly won t come across again So this is me saying to not bother with mnemonics or lists or ask for mine And this isn t even a matter of high expectations High expectations are when someone promises you hot XXX RATED GIRL ON GIRL action with scarcely clad extremely bendable panting chicksand you re like SIGN ME UP RIGHT THE FUCK NOW And they do and you get THIS and it s somewhat like what you were promised only. Iron velvetgh0st gossip So I guess what I m trying to say is that I wouldn t recommend reading this for the F F factor either Because not only is there nothing about the lesbian characters that ignites my gaydar there is also ZERO chemistry between Kate and her lez vamp The awfully unsexy sexy times are either consequently Vajayjay blocked by unexpected visitors or end in a sudden tangle of obscure and overwrought metaphors I didn t highlight the eye roll inducing moments for nothing so here s an example of a love scene gone metaphor Her eyes were as endless and shifting as the sea the blue as rich as lapis lazuli Between my fingers her hair was cool as silk and soft as feathers Her face was fascinating as though she was a puzzle I couldn t quite solve Time s cryptic crossword ageless and ancient fragile and eternal. PDF Iron velvety She sparkled in my mouth like champagne My kisses landed on her skin as vivid as butterflies The idle play of her fingertips glittered over me like dew across a spider s web Lesbian sex you re doing it wrong For me this seems a tell tale sign of a starting writer who is trying too hard to come across as witty and talented There s nothing wrong with making mistakes but when that writer doesn t have an editor who demands focus on his readers and kills off a bunch of inappropriate darlings he s in trouble On a related note the publisher of Iron Velvet should at least take part of the blame I ve read freefic that s better edited than this. Iron velvet art could not be the ARC your riskSpeaking of keeping readers in mind the repetitive flaunting of cleverness didn t amuse For example there really is a character in this book who converses solely in Middle English Ha hatoo bad so sad for those readers who haven t studied old and Middle English They will simply have to momentarily drop out of the story You know what would ve been really clever To let the readability of a book prevail over smug elitism And almost last but not least why your heroine does not need violet eyes Finally the endearment sweeting is used 34 times in this book I needed a punching bag after the 9th % time. Iron and magic epub vk 50 Stars I m a big fan of this series I have read versions of this book a total of 3 or 4 times now I love reading this series in October since it s one of my favorite lesfic paranormal series Alexis Hall recently released this series again so I thought it was the perfect time for another re read He mentioned some light editing and cleaning up changing some lines I m not sure if it is my imagination but the book seemed a little current I remember Kate using her phone sparingly so things felt modern this time around It s a guess but I feel like that was a change Besides that which only added to the story this felt like the book I know and love Kate is a favorite character of mine and I have to hope that re publishing this series could mean that Hall is writing a book 3 I won t get my hopes up but I would love it Read on for my original review I read this book a few years ago and decided to give it a re read to see if I still loved it I m happy to say this book really held up for me and it s as good as I remembered If you are looking for a good lesfic paranormal story that takes place in England this book is for you I would say this book reminds me a bit of the very early Anita Blake books with a little bit of J M Redmann s Mickey Knight thrown in Kate Kane is a hard nose private investigator She drinks too much has a sarcastic mouth on her and gets in too many fights She is absolutely flawed but very likeable anyway She does try to do the right thing and wants to be loyal to the people she cares about but it s not always easy for her Kate is asked by the very sexy and alluring Vampire Prince not sure why she is not called a Princess but whatever to investigate a murder at her club The murdered victim is a Werewolf and since weres and vamps do not always get along Kate must find the killer before a war breaks out among the supernaturals If you are a paranormal fan this book has a bit for everyone Vampires Weres Mages and Fae just about all the major sups are in play It is interesting how the different supernaturals act in London and the book has a decent mystery and plenty of excitement. Iron velveteen dream I would not say this book really has romance Kate is not the most romantic kind of character But she does have a love interest I really enjoy the pairing and like how they interact and tease each other They can be pretty hot together too As I said before this is a re read for me which I don t do often I am looking forward to re reading book 2 also I know Alexis Hall mostly writes M M romance But he really does lesfic paranormal well and I really wish he would come out with Kate Kane books Iron Velvet Kate Kane Paranormal Investigator 1
