Eight mages presumed dead… people. But if tracking down these mages will keep my city safe, then I’ll search every corner of this ever-darkening abyss. And if necessary, stare down the fires of hell.
My name is Kat Drummond, and I’m a Part-Time Monster Hunter.

Philosophy meets action in an adventure to see how is Kat going to survive this.
Action packed, funny, entertaining, full of suspense, full of surprises with multiple highlights and a finale that leaves an expectation of what is to come in the next book.
I received an advanced readers copy and decided to review it.
In Devil’s Gambit, book 3 of the Kat Drummond series, Kat continues to grow and we learning much more about her backstory as well as those of several other characters. Kat again shows some extraordinary power, but still doesn’t understand it or really have control. There are some interesting new characters, some good, some bad, and some undetermined. Kat is still showing doubts about her abilities beyond just stabbing, but hopefully moving past that. Also, she’s developing some relationships and interested to see how that goes. Overall, a very good book and looking forward to the next in the series.
Another Kat Drummond book and it starts off the usual way with Kat killing another monster. But then, she’s hired to find the monster that’s supposedly killed 8 Titan mages that help keep a primordial titan sleeping. During her investigation, she encounters an archdemon that she is able to defeat in a wager but then has to deal with void-creepers who are after her because she’s been cursed with her blood and true name. Not as much action but it has a good plot and supporting character development. Kat also begins to develop her detective skills making her even more interesting character.
A wonderful story.
In this third book it is fast paced and full of action and adventure. We learn someback story as to the characters. Our heroine has her powers but hasn’t got to control them yet as they fight. This is a wonderful storyline and great characters. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
I really enjoyed reading this book! I love how Kat has evolved from just hunting zombies. Anything she considers a monster (even human monsters!). In this book, she gets to go up against an archdemon and has to find the summoner. Even when it looks like she has closed the case, she does not give up. I could not put this book down!
Third book of the series and it does not stop getting better. Action from the start. Kat is a monster hunter that can kick some serious buns. He is smart and tough. She has to figure out who is killing the mages that protects the city. Will she figure out who? I really enjoyed this excellent read and most of all Kat and Treth’s relationship.
Good Gracious Kat, what are you doing?
Kat is stepping out of her comfort zone in an attempt to find why the Mages of the Titan Citadel are disappearing. Unfortunately, this detective work brings her in contact with her greatest foes to date, and she has no answers how to kill them. Of course, with Kat it’s not all work and no play. A “like” interest (not Love yet) has come into her circle of friends. And, for the first time, Kat actually sees Treth, the voice inside her head, right before her death…or not.
This is one of the best series that I have ever read. Action, magic, killing “monsters”, friends, partying, college…yeah, and the beat goes on.
I received an ARC of this book from the author. My review doesn’t even do it justice. Suffice it to say, you will get a kick out of the entire series!!
Danger, mystery, action, thrills, and one heck of a kick-a** heroine. Those are the hallmarks Nicholas Woode-Smith’s Kat Drummond series , and those hallmarks are most definitely found in Devil’s Gambit (Book 3). This is a totally fun book. Superbly written, with a great plot, a perfect cast and perfect world-building. Definitely recommended, though you’d best start with book 1 of the series for maximum enjoyment even though this one can (more or less) be read standalone.
“Don’t make deals with devils. Don’t play with fire.”
Introducing excerpts and tales of mythical religious and pagan stories makes it so interesting! I couldn’t distinguish folk stories from reality. The myths we’ve been always surrounded with, from all corners of the earth become reality in Woode-Smith’s hand, so realistic it is! The emotional insight to Kat the protagonist’s life brings about an intense philosophical and moral debates, beliefs. A challenging, trepidant, edge of seat, heart pounding read, every page read never ceases to amaze me! I am Loving this series!
The third book in the Kat Drummond series, Devil’s Gambit is an incredible instalment in this amazing collection. This novel does get a little darker than the others as we learn more about Kat and her sidekick, Treth. I did like a certain new nameless character in this novel that I do hope to see in future books. If you enjoy urban fantasy, this page-turner is for you. I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
Kat makes a deal with the devil
Kat is likable. Even some of the bad guys like her. She is young and smart. She is willing to kill to save others. Kat spends her spare time learning even outside of her college classes. She is constantly trying to make herself better. She has some special talents that are hidden even from herself. She gets a cool coat as a birthday gift and it also has some hidden talents. In this book, we learn more about the past of several of the different characters in the series. Kat is learning more of detective work and to use different types of equipment to kill monsters. In each book, we learn a bit more about Cape Hope and the surrounding area. There is a lot of action and suspense. The antagonist was unexpected. This author does a great job at world building. There are a lot of twists and This is a wonderful book that was hard to put down. I recommend it.
This series just keeps getting better and better. Kat Drummond is a monster hunter. Well, most of the time she’s a uni student, then a part-time monster hunter. This time she is hired more as a detective – a role in which she is not comfortable. However, the job is important – and it pays well. Titan mages are going missing – presumed dead. The blood left behind points to this, but Kat knows that this is not necessarily so. Her investigating puts her in contention with all sorts of adversaries, but she just has to find out who is really pulling the strings.
