#89 Cursed by Benedict Jacka

The second book is set a few months after the first book. Once again Alex is called in to work something and there is more going on and not everything is what it seems. Nothing too deep but a nice light read. Hopefully there will be more back story and more of the non humans in this magical world introduced.

#90 Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews

I really like the setting for these books and the writer makes sure that the secondary characters are fleshed out and not just there to only support the hero and heroine. Desperately needing medicine for the children of the pack to all survive and not go loup, Kate and Curran take on a near impossible job in Europe with some of the best fighters in the pack to bodyguard a pregnant werewolf with the pay being 10 barrels of the medicine. Of course not everything is at it seems once they get there. I liked the ending in that it isn't all sweetness and light. And the bonus story/ outtake at the end of the book was good along with the explanation of why it wasn't in the main story.
