Helpful Score: 1
Having thoroughly enjoyed the first book, I was somewhat disappointed in this one. Maybe too much time had passed since reading the first, but Caliope's manner started to get on my nerves pretty quickly in this book. The revelation that she had buried her head in the sand about the "family business" and had to face the music was dissected more then it needed to be, and seemed to drag on through to many pages for me.
I did enjoy the timeline of the story, and the deepening relationship she has with her supportive characters, just not enough for me to keep this on my shelf.

I almost didn't finish this book.I am finding Callie very annoying,wasn't sure if she deserved to live. I am hoping the next book is better.
Callie's back and trying to get life back to normal. Unfortunately, the supernatural world just doesn't want that to happen.
I really enjoyed Cat's Claw. It was a fun, quick read and a fitting sequel to Death's Daughter. Callie did seem to have grown some since her ordeal in the previous book, but not too much. The story had plenty of twists and turns, and the friendly narrative drew me in. New characters were very interesting and likable.
I look forward to the next book. I would like Callie to wonder and possibly explore whether Anubis and Bata's test of her heart had a genuine result or if it was rigged to advance the evil plot. I'm curious to know what happens between Daniel and Callie, and look forward to their possible relationship furthering Callie's growth, hopefully.

This is a fun series. The narration is chatty and friendly, and I really like having a heroine who isn't all super prickly and mopy, who acts so put upon and like she doesn't need anyone (yeah, I'm getting a bit burned out on the urban fantasy genre!).
But this is a breath of fresh air! It's fun, fluffy, and a perfect quick read for a rainy afternoon. Calliope is growing up a bit; she's matured a bit (but just a bit!) from the last book, but she still keeps getting dragged into family drama against her will. I like how her strength comes not from being the most amazing/powerful/skillful person the world has ever known, but from her refusal to give up and her ability to make connections with other people and get them to work together when push comes to shove.

This was a fun romp with Death's Daughter.
I really like this series.
