Black Hat, White Witch by Hailey Edwards
3.0

I read books 1-3 fairly quickly and the entire series is, for me, a 3.5. I enjoyed them (I generally enjoy urban fantasy) and I particularly like the premise of this book. The main character is a reformed bad guy, motivated by her love for her adopted kid.

Over the three books, we learn a bit about her past, the different magical beings out there, her courtship with the daemon guy and magic. World building is a bit on the lite side but it's still enjoyable enough.

Didn't really give this series a higher rating because it lacks something that makes it really special to me. Part of it is that I feel like the story tells rather than shows - she's a bad witch, she's an evil person ... Without it being really shown. So.

First book is the strongest of the three. The case reminded me of something out of Hannibal. So creepy.
