No me mola que la prota se transforme en cabra. Y tampoco me ha atrapado la historia.
This book was a delight. Riley is a goat shifter with an authority problem, and a being underestimated problem, and an adrenaline rush problem. But she also has friends in her corner. When she acquires a dagger it sends her on the path to some of the greatest challenges in her career. Through disguises, near misses, and some glitter bombs (courtesy of the stitch witches) Riley just needs to make it through.
Having read the prequel I was very much looking forward to this one and it didn't disappoint! I loved how much Riley has grown and developed since the prequel. I also enjoyed her relationship with Max as they fought against their attraction so much.
Loved the storyline and that she kept on proving that she didn't need Max to rescue her. Loved the twist at the end and am looking forward to reading more of Riley's adventures in the future.

Good but standard urban fantasy fare
We have the shifter heroine - just for fun she shifts into a goat but to round out the character we have a sassy mouth, impressive heist skills, a few magical superpowers, and a tragic past. Sound familiar?
The plot did not make sense, and a number of the difficulties Riley encountered I had predicted by the end of Chapter 2 (because her decisions were just THAT obviously bad). And I would have been much happier if I just quit around halfway when I was contemplating it.

Ever since I discovered this author, I’ve devoured everything she’s written. I was so excited to get this first book in a new series, and I eagerly dived in. I was so glad to see Riley again. She’s a little bit of a broken character who can’t seem to trust that people may care about her. The plot of this book runs simultaneously with a Kali book, and we see things more from Riley and Volkov sides. I understand both of them and wish they understood each other. I can’t wait to see what the next books hold as they find their way to each other and see what Riley will get up to next with the events at the end of the book. Great and well written urban fantasy. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

Would’ve given a 3 if not for being so heavy on the crossover with the Kali books. Lots of the book was a recap for those who read Kali’s books first! Looking forward to Book 2 though.

Relic Hunter by L.A. McBride. Riley Cruz series. If you’re looking for a fast paced and exciting urban fantasy, this might be for you. Demons, shifters, vampires, and witches. Ancient artifacts. Heists. Quirky, smart, and depends on no one FMC. A sprinkle of romance. Riley is officially an adult and it’s time she steps up her game. Overall a fun and quick read.
I was provided with a review copy of the audiobook and this is my honest opinion. I gave this book 3.5 stars. (If I am unable to leave partial stars, I will always round up.)
I am going to be continuing the series. I also plan to check out Kali James, the author’s previous series.
Thank you L.A. McBride!
