Synopsis:
What happens when the hunters become the hunted?

Kit McCafferty is an upstanding citizen of the magical city of Coldstream.

She’s a good neighbour. She has a fabulous partner, an occasionally tidy home, and only a moderately alarming number of cats. Her days as a professional assassin with Eagle Enforcers and Liquidators are behind her. Or so she thinks.

When Kit volunteers to assist local law enforcement with crowd control, she comes face-to-face with her former life. Someone is trying to destroy EEL — the discreet but deadly firm of assassins she once called home — and they’re not concerned about collateral damage. They’re willing to raze Coldstream to the ground to finish the job.

Whoever is targeting EEL knows its inner workings and its secrets. Kit’s old friends and colleagues, as well as the citizens of Coldstream, are at risk. To stop blood from spilling onto the city’s glittering streets and shadowed alleyways, Kit must decide who she is now – a heroic citizen determined to protect her city or a stone cold killer.

Walking away from her past might not be an option.

Review:
“She Who Commands Werewolves flopped onto her back and presented me with her furry belly. I smiled at her obvious trap. I was too much of a cat lady to fall for that sort of trick. I liked my fingers where they were, thank you very much.” (Page 162)

This book was marvelous. Not only did we get to see Kit attempt to do her usual cat lady routine but we learned that she wasn’t fooling everyone. I loved this insight and tie in from Kit’s past along with a certain other person in a position in power. Getting to see Kit step up in her old place of work was also very interesting, and while part of me really expected a different outcome, I was glad that she made the choice she did in the end. I certainly might have had some suspicions about who the big bad might have been throughout the novel but I never would have guessed how so many loose ends had been tied up so neatly and hidden in plain sight!

This book reminded me again of how awesome Harper is with words, and how much I cannot wait for her future books to release! The ending left me needing more immediately, but alas, the next is not out until April!!
