The next installment of the Cassandra the prophetess, and friends, who save the world from the followers of rogue gods.

I could remember very little about the prior two volumes although it wasn't that long ago that I read them. But this is of a similar format. Cassie tries to get on with her life - running a PI firm, getting over her ex, rehabilitaging Hunter (fat chance, but at least he's out of jail now) - when one of her cases spirals much more seriously than it seems and suddenly she's got to speak to the gods again. This time it's a completely new to me (made up?) sect of some semi-christian methodology, where the priests have free will to choose between the One True god and the Deceiver. It quickly becomes apparnet that one of the True God's followers has become subverted and created a plan to burn the world through the medium of corrupted roses.

Although in some ways this is classic urban fantasy, it is also very reminiscent of the 'normal' Leah Cutter playing fast and loose with fantasy motifs, and very free with sequential logic, it's not about the details it's all in the grand and wonderful gestalt. I'm not sure Leah has a grand design for the series, but there is continuity throughout the books, with the presence of Cassie's mum and the political machinations of the Foundation an ever present distracting background to the investigation. It's not quite clear why Cassie's ex - Sam - gets a few chapters of her own, other than to keep the political sideplot turning over, presumably for another installment in the series.

Fun though - Cassie's very straight forward knows what she wants and doesn't take no for answer. However she is slowly learning that she also has responsibilities, and her constant fight against these is something that we can all appreciate! ( )

I received an ebook edition of this book as my October 2016 Early Reviewers win. This is the third in an urban fantasy series featuring Cassie (aka "A Kickass Cassie Novel"), a lesbian postcog PI set in a familiar world except for the presence of the Blessed (those with paranormal skills) and a corporation bent on finding and controlling them. In each of the prior books, Cassie and/or her colleagues have saved the world by intervening with gods who appear to their abilities. This book continues the pattern. This is a perfectly acceptable urban fantasy to read for light entertainment. I think the author is judging too many plot lines, only one of which is resolved in this book, and that the character development is minimal and somewhat stereotypical. ( )

I had read the second book in this series previously and I found this one equally enjoyable. It was quick and easy to read, although again I found the climax and conclusion rushed. The characters are not too simple and are not unlikeable so there was enough to keep me interested in the story. ( )

I received a copy of this book from Library Things early reviewer program for an honest and fair review.

This is the third book in the Cassie Lewis a private investigator with the ability see she into the past, which makes her unique as anyone with these type of ability work for the government.

I enjoyed that the book is from different perspectives as it allowed me a better sense of the character as I hadn't read the previous two books. I really enjoyed Cassie personality as I find sarcasm and wit fun to read.

The book main case is stopping a monk from destroying crops to bring on the apocalypse. I find it interesting the different religions that it talked about and the mention of other Gods. I was surprised about the appearance of Loki and looking forward to what he has for instore Cassie.

The book was well written and moved quickly keeping me interested in the story.
I will be looking to read the first two book to see who it started and look out for the next. ( )

I received a copy of this book through LibraryThing’s Early Reviewers’ program in exchange for a fair and honest review.

“Spoiled Harvest” is the third instalment in a series focused on Cassie, a woman with paranormal abilities (the ability to see the past and alternative versions of the past), in an alternate version of Minneapolis. The novel is told from a variety of perspectives, first person when it follows Cassie, and third person when it follows other protagonists. I liked this as it added depth and detail as well as fleshing out Cassie’s world. The story works well as a standalone adventure while also continuing storylines developed in the previous two books (only one of which I have read) and which are clearly going to be continued in future episodes of the series.

I like Leah Cutter’s writing style – it is quirky with a little snark and a lot of humour thrown in for good measure. This series’ mix of the mundane, the paranormal and the divine is fun and it is great to see real character development and growth from episode to episode. The relationship between Cassie and her troubled sidekick, Hunter, and their interactions with other characters and family members are a particularly enjoyable feature of this novel.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more about Cassie’s adventures. However, I suspect this series will not suit all readers as the language is explicit, religions (of all creeds) are explored (and probably not treated reverently) and Cassie’s lesbianism is an integral aspect of the story. If readers object to strong language, have problems with non-mainstream sexuality and take their religious beliefs seriously, this book (and series) is going to offend and upset them. If, on the other hand, readers are up for a walk on a different path, this book (and series) will be just the ticket. ( )
