Customer Reviews

Kensi is great!

I absolutely love Kensington Shaw! She is a fiercely independent woman, an expert potions maker and though she keeps stumbling upon dead bodies (not her fault of course) she does do her best to solve why they are dead (much to the consternation of Detective Kane) and still wear the latest fashion. It is a wonderful combination and I enjoyed all these little stories about her in the great city of Chicago (and the Underground). It is fun to have the chapters be stories of their own but still have an over arching theme (finding the stones of Malachi being part of it, plus the dal makers). There is much magic and darkness but also good people and even better looking guys that Kensington gets to know and learn to work with. I really hope that we get more stories with Kensi and the detective, because I want to know if she can find the stones, plus if the sparks fly with Kane or maybe a certain dark stranger? Fun and fast read and I do highly recommend this book!
