I’m 100% over whatever hatred I had for Paige. I really, really didn’t like her in the first books but I love her now. She was a much stronger character in this book and was super loyal to her friends. I loved Lucas as well. He’s super smart and handsome! I like how they introduced Lucas’ father more. I didn’t like him but he’s a really good character. Savannah was as fantastic as ever and there was a bunch of new characters.

The story was as amazing as the first books. It keeps getting better and better. I love that Lucas is helping out his father, kind of. I also really like that this book is a little bit of romance, fantasy and mystery all in one. I’m trying to keep this review short so I’m not gushing too long. Basically this is a book I could read over and over, and not get bored. Ever. ( )

Leuk boek, met plezier gelezen. ( )

REVIEW: Number 4 completed of my Kelley Armstrong Otherworld re-read!

Industrial Magic again follows Paige and Lucas as they are unwillingly drawn into Cabal politics by the murder of several children by an unknown supernatural. This book introduces several important characters for the first time – most importantly the Necromancer Jaime Vegas. The werewolves also make an appearance in this book, which I loved.

This book was long, but I didn’t feel that it dragged. It was a fast-paced book with a lot going on, and it kept me interested all the way through. I love Paige and Lucas, and as a political science major who loves seeing politics in books, I loved the inside look we got at the Cabals and the politics that run them.

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to fans of urban fantasy and supernatural romance. ( )

The fourth book in Kelley Armstrong's "Women of the Otherworld" series, we follow Paige to Miami, and finally meet the elusive Cortez Cabal. This book really contributed to further world-building of the Otherworld, setting up the rules, adding new characters while bringing in old ones, and was a very enjoyable read. Kelley knows exactly how to weave urban fantasy, romance, thriller and mystery to create a great book! ( )

This is my absolute favorite of Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series. Paige and Lucas are my favorite characters, and I love the interplay between them in this book. There’s also less of (teenage) Savannah, who drives me nuts. There is also lots of humor (including some fun genre-insider humor about vampires in New Orleans) and yet it includes emotional depth. Very good all-around book. ( )
