Life is for the Living by S.C. StokesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
It All Starts With A Jewellery Heist
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This is the second book in the series if you exclude the prequel which isn’t needed to understand the story arc. This book won’t make much sense if you don’t read the book before it in the series and whilst the book ends on a cliffhanger, the end of the book happens at a natural break in the story.
This book starts the day after the first book ends. When Kasey learns that Arthur Ainsley is going to be attending the Met Gala she is determined to crash it to demand he gets his son to drop his lawsuit as was promised to her if she managed to kill the werewolf serial killer and make his body disappear. When she arrives it quickly degenerates into mayhem as armed and masked men arrive to take advantage of all the priceless family heirlooms being worn for the occasion.
What at first looks to be a huge jewellery heist gone wrong turns out to connect to the magic world. Once again Kasey finds herself being drawn into a case that has much bigger reverberations than initially suspected.
The plot in this book is really good. It ratchets up the tension of the first book and just keeps going. I love how the current cases are woven into the larger plot again. It helps to bring a conclusion to each book, whilst still making you really want to read the next book.
We also get to see a little more of Kasey’s relationship with her parents. Not much, but a glimpse. I wish we could see more as I feel that is the most lacking area in this series, character development. I do have hopes we will see more in the next book.
Kasey’s professional standing does seem to become a little vulnerable in this book as she tries to juggle the magic and the ‘normal’ world. It will be interesting to see how that gets resolved.
I can’t wait to read the next book because I’m desperate to know what happens next.
