I liked BMR on the whole but I think I'd have prefered for Fury and Lia to have a book and for Fang and Aimee to have the short story if only because I'm kind of curious about Bryani's people.
I had had my suspicions abotu Kyle being Arcadian simply because there are several throw-away mentions about him being human (in fact I think he's even described as being at college) in the day time and how he's too young to be able to do that if he was Katagaria; in Wren's story he was just learning to turn human at Kyle's age. From that I'd worked out that Papa Bear had to be Arcadian because Mama was the Ursulan Katagaria Regis so she couldn't be. It was nice to know I'd guessed right but I've got to admit that I hadn't guessed about any of the others!
It was nice to see the Peltiers fleshed out a bit; previously apart from Mama they seemed to lack some individual personalities. Remi was mean, Aimee was the girl, Kyle was the youngest and Dev has a tattoo like Artemis's mark because he thinks it's funny.
Unlike some reviews/responses I like the fact that Thorn is warning people away from Jaden. Thorn hunts demons and Jaden helps them so it's normal that they wouldn't get on. If a demon has bartered successfully with Jaden for protection then Jaden and Thorn will come into conflict. It's only Thorn's opinion that Jaden is not "good" - and even Ash warned Simi from bartering with Jaden and they're friends.
I think Savitar's behaviour is very much in character; remember he wiped out a whole branch of were-hunters because one of them annoyed him! As he sees the future after he has set it in motion, it's likely that he knew as soon as Aimee and Simi popped in to save Fang what would happen and if it's not what he wanted he would be a little peeved.
I was kind of put off by the bit at the end where they saw the (presumabley Spathi) Daimon in the sunshine at the end and everyone was like "ooh daimons can walk in the daylight - the dark hunters are going to get pwned!" rather than thinking this is something that the Dark Hunters need to know.
I like the idea of Dev having his own book if only as it should tell us more about the Peltiers but I want more Ash and the Dark Hunters!!

Oh I want more Ash too. I wanna see how he's getting on now that he has Tory. It's a new chapter in his life and since he was so used to negative aspects, it would be nice to see him in a more positve and loving environment.
I just love the complexity of these books and how each character is somehow connected to everyone else.

I can't wait for Dev and Nick's stories.
