Anyway, so a cool, underground organization of specially, supernaturally talented people exist as a secret service. The lead character, overall, I found likeable and interesting. Normally, I find the amnesia trope a little tiresome.
The one thing I had a major issue with was all the clothing discussion. Do male authors really think women spend THAT much time thinking about their wardrobe? It wasn't necessary, how many times did we need to be told that Myfanwy only had dowdy clothing? Once would have been enough, but it was repeated, over and over. That was really my only problem with the book. I look forward to renting the 2nd book in the series from the library.

This is the last book in the series! How am I going to survive without more Kieran and Lexi and co?
Anyway, they are now at the Magical Summit. Kieran is hoping for his place as San Francisco's Demigod to be approved as well as his link to Alexis. In the meantime, every Demigod's minions are prowling the grounds of the ginormous estate looking for battles, including Lexi and co.
This was quite fun. It was clear to see that Lexi and the gang were some of the most skilled fighters in the place. We met some fun characters and some stuff comes out that I hadn't expected, which was great. And then that end bit with Jack. I really do love this group of people.
I don't have the words to express how much I enjoyed this.
And then that bit with the green eyed jinn and Daisy... I'm thinking she may get her own series where that bit will be explored.

This one follows Liam, the youngest Cross brother, and Iris, a waitress at Liam's older brother's restaurant. It seems Liam has been watching Iris for a while, almost from the start of her time working for Lee and has been intrigued by her. Iris is homeless and struggling for every penny she earns so she can begin renting someplace. She acts tough and stays disconnected from her colleagues as she doesn't know how they'll take her living situation but then Liam takes a serious interest in her and she struggles to keep him at length.
This was actually super cute for such a short read. I still love all the Cross family and Liam has changed a lot from that little punk in Lee's story.
I liked the Bowie thing that Iris had going on and that Jareth is my favourite version of him, too. I love Labyrinth. It's been one of my favourite films since I was a kid.
I'm looking forward to the last book and Trevor's full story.
