Description Courtesy of Goodreads

Drafted into working for the Order of Merciful Aid, mercenary Kate Daniels has more paranormal problems than she knows what to do with these days. And in Atlanta, where magic comes and goes like the tide, that's saying a lot.

But when Kate's werewolf friend Derek is discovered nearly dead, she must confront her greatest challenge yet. As her investigation leads her to the Midnight Games—an invitation only, no holds barred, ultimate preternatural fighting tournament—she and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, uncover a dark plot that may forever alter the face of Atlanta's shapeshifting community…

Loved it rated big fat 5 on a scale of 1-5

To start off I loved the fact that we got to learn more about Jim and Derek. Curran is a big role in this one as well, and I just love anything that has to do with Curran and Kate's relationship. The story was great I loved the Gladiator type theme and I have said before Kate is so brave. Also Andrea is extremely brave and Julie (Kate's kid sort of) is a warrior in the making that is for sure. A really strong third book in my opinion. I just got sick when Derek's smashed face was described and totally felt for him. Also loved how Kate dealt with Julie's little school problem..hilarious. I love this series and can't wait for Magic Bleeds(4) its most likely going to be my Waiting on Wednesday book spoiled that haha. I recommend this series to anyone its just so great if you love the Mercy Thompson series I really think you will like this one, but judge for yourself :)
