Review: Snared (Kaliya Sahni Series Book 2) by K N Banet

Snared by Kristen Banet/KN Banet
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved It

I really love Kristen Banet, or KN Banet as she’s knows for her urban fantasy book and I’m really enjoying these Tribunal books a lot.

This is the second book in the Kaliya Sahni series and it’s even better than the first. However, I re-read the first book before going on to read this book and remembered how much I enjoyed the first book, so that’s saying something. This book starts 4 months after the last one ends, with Kaliya helping Raphael learn about the supernatural world and trying to find out about his species. She still feels like she barely knows the guy as she is used to keeping her emotions to herself and is holding back because she’s worried about potentially mating him.

Raphael is pretty much glued to Kaliya for his safety and when she is required to go and inspect the supernatural prison out in the desert, she can’t leave him for the length of time it would take, so he goes with her. Going into the prison brings her face to face with old enemies, many of which she put in there. When the situation becomes dangerous, Raphael’s strength comes into his own and his protectiveness surprises Kaliya.

This book continues with the overarching plot line that is followed through the series (and will continue in the future books). It also has a really interesting internal plot revolving around the prison and an attempt on Kaliya’s life. We also get to see Kaliya and Raphael start to open up to each other and talk about things other than business. Cassius and Sorcha are away in the fae lands and that allows them to build their relationship without other people around to run interference. Their buffers are gone and they are in a fast moving and dangerous situation.

Once again this author has successfully blended a well constructed world, a carefully crafted plot line and engaging characters with believable emotions. This is the trifecta for me and all books that absolutely nail world, plot and characters are going to get 5 ⭐️.

I hate that I’m going to have to wait for the next book in the series, but I know I’ll enjoy re-reading the first two book again when it comes out. For me that’s the mark of a true 5 ⭐️ series, I want to re-read all the previous books every time the next book comes out, and once it’s complete I’ll still want to re-read the entire series again. This is one of those series.
