As other reviewers have mentioned, this book makes me think of the TV show Supernatural. The book was fun, action packed and a quick read.

I loved the 3 sisters relationship and the plot was really good. I loved that the books revolves around three strong badass women and there were lots of creatures and I love how divided the world was but I'm not sure I loved the ending!

I had a hard time getting into this book at first, but the further into it I got the more interesting the book became. By the end I was completely hooked and now I can't wait for the next book.

This book was the best. An adventure so fun and cunning and amazing, I got lost in this world.

The overview for this made it sound so appealing, it felt like it was along the lines of a Cassandra Clare story.
for me the characters lacked any depth, and I just couldnt take the name Furfur seriously as a demon.

Think supernatural season 1 and you may grasp the vibes the book gave me, and yet, the story is much richer and so are the characters. The relationships between these sisters really sold this for me. This was a great read.

The Ninth Circle has a unique kind of story (for a book). It reminds me a lot of the TV show Supernatural (so much it bothered me sometimes) and it's filled with action.

But although the story is interesting, it lacks more in my opinion. It lacks romance and it lacks a side story, because it was so focused on one plotline it turned out to being a one-dimensional story for me, and that clearly wasn't the intention.

I didn't like how each time there was a main character. I liled Tala a lot, but Ivy not so much (she warmed up to me). But I missed a stronger romantic connection. I read all kinds of genres, books filled with action, included, but they all have to have romance in them.

I'll probably won't read the next book, but, even though it didn't cause me any lasting effects, ai enjoyed this book.

Fire is a book that drew my attention on Netgalley for two reasons. The cover that is stunning. And the synopsis. That synopsis breaths female Supernatural to me. But I was curious to see how that would be done differently yet still create a great supernatural world. At the end I was left unsure of how to rate this book though. But ended up at 3,5 stars.

Overall I enjoyed this book. It is a supernatural world with hunters, demons and other supernatural creatures. Of course I was going to love that. However the catch here is that the synopsis screams Supernatural the tv show, the whole story does that to me. And I don’t necessarily mean that as a compliment. The book starts with two sisters. One who is still a hunter and the other who has moved away from the hunting life. They have a third sister who has disappeared and they have to find her. Their mother is dead. But they have a friend of hers who they can go to for information on supernatural things. If you have watched the tv show you know how similar this is. And there were small things throughout the story that gave me the similar feeling. The thing is, I understand that the tv show has already done so much so it is hard to not create that feeling. But I think it is a bit much. And in that regard, I don’t think it has the ability or the depth to move away from its similarity to the tv show. I hope however that the second book will do that.

It doesn’t help that the book feels like it is running through a season. The chapters are called episodes and sometimes there is the potential for a whole hour long episode in a chapter. Of course that doesn’t quite work on the page and sometimes it feels like I am reading a summary of an episode almost. Basically I miss depth here. More depth into the characters and their relationships. It skims the surface here or there but never does more than that. It is a shame because I think this does have such potential to be a great book.

Certainly the circles of demons as shown here are really interesting. And I would love to learn more about the circles and how they work together on things. I was very happy that the main characters were females for this. Tala is very rough around the edges and I would love to dive a bit deeper into her as a character. Certainly more than was done now. Her sister prefers book (who doesn’t really) and is perhaps more of the planning and information type of character. I had a harder grasping her character. Some of the side characters were also interesting and a great add.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant what a fantastic start to a new series i loved it i found it to be a really exciting and enjoyable read

DNF this book. It was uninteresting and awkward to read.

A big thank you to to C.A.Farland and Netgalley for the free copy in exchange for an unbiased review.

So this novel immediately grabbed my attention! Tala, the demon huntress, whose apartment is warded against fey, vampires, werewolves, and the aforementioned demons, but not humans. Then there is the crime world separated into nine levels, each "circle responsible for a different activity."

Three sisters (and Nighthunters): Tala, Aiva, and Hartley. But Hartley is an addicted gambler and is missing. So the ladies seek her, only to learn she's been abducted by one of those demonic criminal circles. These ladies are highly trained soldiers against the forces of evil and battle, of
course, ensues wherever their clues lead.

The creature count is just enormous. If it's a myth, it's probably in this book, some where you least expect them.
Great plot, Harland! Not sure I'm happy with the ending? The sisterhood trinity, I feel, was a tip of the iceberg that I'm hoping can be resurrected in future books somehow. And I'm so there for Book Two!

Tala and Aiva are estranged sisters and demonhunters in modern-day Dublin. Now they have to team up to find their third sister, Hartley, who's been kidnapped by demons. Or has she? And where do the sisters' growing superpowers come from?

"The Ninth Circle" is a kind of Irish Buffy the Vampire Slayer, only with more action and less introspection. So either that sounds great to you, or it doesn't. The sisters are really half-sisters, sharing the same mother but ignorant of who their fathers are, and their mother, also a demonhunter, was killed by a particularly unpleasant demon in a piece of backstory that explains why the sisters are now estranged.

Don't let the word "backstory" frighten you off with fears of a slow-moving plot: the fight scenes come fast and furious here, with barely a breather in between. For some of us (like me) that is a little overwhelming, and while the three sisters are definitely distinct characters, they are not really developed as complex beings--for how could they be, busy as they are kicking demon rear end. "The Ninth Circle" will never be mistaken for Literature with a Capital L, but there's plenty of magic, mayhem, and action-packed girl power to delight the reader looking for a high-octane urban fantasy read.

FYI: the book does not exactly end on a cliffhanger, but it definitely sets things up for the next novel in the series, so if your heart is wedded solely to standalone stories, be warned. If you like series, though, this may be for you.

My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a review copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

After a rather disappointing start, where I very nearly gave up on the book within a few chapters, I decided to get stuck in and really try and finish the book (I try not to have too many DNFs). The story does pick up after a while and you begin to really get engrossed in the book. However, I never quite 'fell' all the way with this book and it never quite drew me in all the way. While the characters and plot are interesting, I feel like this is one of those series that will probably get better as it goes on but sadly it didn't draw me in enough for me to pursue the rest of the series.

A bit like the female version of Supernatural with very short plot, lots of information on the dialogues and nothing memorable unfortunately but great cover!
