Revenge. After my first taste, I find I like it. But as I maneuver my way through danger, my idea of revenge is turned on its head.

My name is Cassidy. Cassidy Edwards. And I'm the first of my kind.

The Job
Finding just who broke Dorian Ramsey's puppet curse and set the powerful vampire free. Only I've got a personal conflict of interest this time--it was me.

The Team
A Drake itching for any excuse to pin the crime on me--guilty or not. A Keeper wanting to pitch me in a Nether Reach prison--just for existing. A Warlock I barely recognize.

The Curve Ball
Dancing my way through the evidence, I uncover an avalanche of answers regarding my past and discover nothing is truly what it seems.

The previous installment in the Cassidy Edwards series left our MC in a bit of a predicament. Eager to find out how she was going to escape being found out by the fire drake, I immediately dove into Mindbreaker.

Although I did find the storyline intriguing, I actually had a hard time getting through it quickly. I wanted so badly for some major action to happen! It wasn’t until later on in the last third of the book or so that things started to go haywire and secrets were revealed. At this point in the book, I was completely enthralled in Cassidy’s story! This was the action I had been waiting for!! The shocking, action-packed ending of the book made reading the slower beginning of the book so worth it! It felt good to finally get a few answers!

In addition to the revelations, I enjoyed the puzzle that the author created. Once certain things were revealed I figured out that I could have seen this coming all along and figured out the mystery, if only I had picked up on the little bread crumbs along the way. As an avid watcher of crime shows and mysteries, I was very disappointed in my dismal mystery solving skills while reading this book. At the same time, however, not having things already figured out made the events that unfolded that much more shocking. I can’t wait to get started on book four and learn even more about Cassidy, Lucian, the Mindbreaker, and of course Ricky!!

Revenge. Until now, my revenge was more of an idea. A fantasy. A mere whisper of what revenge should be. But it was a seed—and it was time for it to sprout.

My name is Cassidy. Cassidy Edwards. And I'm the first of my kind.

The Job
Hunting a mysterious force attacking the House of Rowle with spells of the most malevolent, arachnid kind.

The Players
A wickedly handsome warlock-of-a-boss, a hostile Nether Reach Keeper hell-bent on my arrest, and a vampire who just might believe that he’s my father.

My Problem
As my new Spellfinding gig plunges me deeper into the world of the Charmed Mafia, destiny presents the king of all conflicts … forcing me to walk a tightrope of lust and betrayal as the monster inside me awakens.

As with the first installment, Caine had me enthralled in her world filled with magic and the supernatural. She has a great way of leaving you wanting to know more. As I was going through the book, I did not want to put it down, but I guess I have to sleep too right?

In this story, Cassidy finds herself further down her path to revenge, and learns what revenge truly feels like. You have to be willing to do whatever it takes, but the real question is, is she ready to do just that. Is she willing to lose the people that she has come to care about? I’ll zip my lips on what comes next so as to not spoil anything! (There is nothing worse than spoilers!)

Anyways, I also really enjoyed how the story progressed, and quite relished the LOL moments! That Ricky just has a knack for causing problems!

Revenge. It’s all I've lived for. Revenge against those who stacked the cards against me from the start. But I’m changing the deck now. I’m getting even. Born to a vampire, I wasn’t supposed to survive—but I did.

My name is Cassidy. Cassidy Edwards. And I’m the first of my kind.

The Job
Trapping a sixteenth-century Scottish Highlander of a vampire who just might be seduction itself.

The Team
A firedrake with an attitude, a werewolf with a problem, and an imp in dire need of rehab.

The Boss
A dangerously powerful warlock as handsome as sin.

My Problem:
Bluffing my way into a job, my first mission into the Charmed world opens a Pandora’s box of betrayal and secrets... along with attractions of the most lethal kind.

Monster turned out to be a really interesting and funny read! From the moment I opened the book, I was sucked in and just had to keep reading it. The overall world and story created by Caine was very intriguing! I especially loved the inclusion of Ricky, the rehab-Imp. He was super funny! I really enjoyed the part where he took over 1000 selfies!! He truly was some great comic relief! Additionally I enjoyed Cassidy’s story. She had no choice in a situation that forever changed her. I would be wanting a little revenge myself! She is a super snarky character that knows what she wants and goes after it. I can’t wait to see what trouble she can get into next, especially under the employ of the mysterious Lord Rowle...
