Chase the Dark (Steel & Stone, #1)

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Piper Griffiths wants one thing in life: To become a Consul, a keeper of the peace between humans and daemons. There are three obstacles in her way. The first is Lyre. Incubus. Hotter than hell and with a wicked streak to match. His greatest mission in life is to get Piper into bed and otherwise annoy the crap out of her. The second is Ash. Draconian. Powerful. Dangerous. He knows too much and reveals nothing. Also, disturbingly attractive — and scary. Did she mention scary? The third is the Sahar Stone. Top secret magical weapon of mass destruction. Previously hidden in her Consulate until thieves broke in, went on a murder spree, and disappeared with the weapon. And they left Piper to take the fall for their crimes. Now she’s on the run, her dreams of becoming a Consul shattered and every daemon in the city gunning to kill her. She’s dead on her own, but there’s no one she can trust — no one except two entirely untrustworthy daemons ... See problems one and two.

    My absolute favourite series.
    I love the worldbuilding most (its more post apocalyptic fantasy than urban fantasy though).
    The characters are strong and well developed, only at some scenes you realise that the author was still young when she wrote it. They are powerful, but still have weaknesses which makes you feel like their victories are well earned.
    I especially love that there isnt a love triangle despite there being 3 main characters and the friendships between piper and lyre and ash and lyre are just as developed and important than the romantic relationship. Well written platonic relationships are rare in books with strong romance subplots.
    Talking about the plot: while there is romance (no spice), most of the plot is a fast paced, action filled fantasy adventure with demons, stolen artifacts and a mystery to be solved.
    There also are super cute dragons, i would give a sixth star for that if I could.
