In the third novel of the Prospero's Wars series, Jaye Wells continues on with Kate's adventures. This time when a coven leader is found murdered, Kate and The Magical Enforcement Agency must team up with the local police to track down the killer before a war erupts on the streets.

With plenty of obstacles standing in her way, including a pesky reporter, Kate has a lot to handle in this installment. Though this is an Urban Fantasy book that has a good amount of action and suspense, the author takes quite a long time setting up the story in the beginning. Nearly three chapters in and we're just getting into the bulk of the story where the stakes are stated and we get to the point where a story can begin.

Similarly, Jaye Wells played up the dynamic between Kate and her partner, Morales in the first book of the series. However, while they do get along, something felt missing between their usual banter. It seemed to take a backseat in regards to the plot thus weakening what I enjoyed about the earlier books in this series.

This spellbinding world that Wells has created reminds me much of Stacia Kane's Downside Ghosts series. It's a little gritty and dark, filled with magical twists and turns. If you're a fan of Well's work, this series might be a good match for you.
