Interesting storyline and great characters. There are so many elements in motion you need to pay close attention to where the the action takes place. You will want to see what happens with Kat, will Hugh be cleared or sprung from custody? This story leaves more questions than answers.
From sexy Kat to “Gentleman” Hugh, this quickly turned into a fun read. With black humour thrown into the mix along with unique characters and very original superpowers. The storyline had me hooked from the opening pages. It’s fast moving, involving with plenty of action thrown in. I recommend this book to any reader looking for a fun, action packed, adult superhero novel.
I’m three books into this series, and can’t stop reading! The characters are fantastic and the premise is fascinating – a race of super heroes and super villains living among us with no idea of who they are or where they came from. I can’t wait to find out!
Wow! This is an amazing read great first book in series!! I devoured it!! I am off to find book 2
This was an intriguing tale with interesting characters that have unique powers. The storyline had some action, mystery, suspense and drama, and the plot twists that kept me on my toes. It was well-written with part humor and quirkiness. It was a different and entertaining read.

Unlucky Charm is Book 1 (updated) in the Black Kat series by Kimberly Gordon. This is a thought provoking and humorous read with interesting characters with some unique super powers. Officer Katherine Carter is after Illusionist Hugh Harrison, both are relatable and you can’t help but love both of them. This is a fast paced, action packed suspense filled thrill ride adventure with plenty of twists/turns that keeps you reading to the last page and leaves you wanting more. I highly recommend this book. It leaves you satisfied on so many levels. Received an ARC and this is my voluntary and honest review.
“Unlucky Charm” marks the start to the ‘Black Kat Series” by Kimberly Gordon, a part UF, part paranormal romance, part supernatural dark comedy, combined into a wholly entertaining story.
Katherine Carter is an officer of the law, whose rare abilities, make her the target of choice for both the tabloids and the Chicago Police Review Board. On the other side we have Hugh Harrison, which own abilities are bringing him more attention as he desires, and not even his career as illusionist can help to shield him this time. Framed for murder and waiting for what promises to the be trial of the century, escaping from prison appears to be his only option to unearth the plot that has put him in that situation.
This is a good series start that combines, elements of UF, procedural, paranormal romance and a fresh version of superheroes into a very entertaining tale, with credible and relatable characters, an enjoyable lecture from cover to back.
This is a good read by a new to me Author. I enjoyed this super hero story and the amazing characters. This story brings humor as well as a well thought story and a world that drew me in. I found a new genre that I love.
No spoilers here, give it a read. Happy Reading!!!
Great world build.
Great characters.
Kimberly Gordon draws you in and you forget time.

It had two different stories going that only vaguely had something to do with the other and never really came together. Both stories were interesting but was like I was reading two books at once. Super heroes are not my thing and either are bounty hunters so even though it was written well, I won’t be continuing.
“Adjourning”? I believe that adjoining would fit the context better.
Cop turns high level bounty hunter. But she has special skills that she is unaware of.
I enjoyed reading the story but was disappointed that the end provided no closure, leading only to the second book like a new chapter. I would say the book is more character development. And the character summary at the end gave away something not Cleary stated (but assumed) in the story itself. I’ll continue to read the books if I can get them from the library.
1st book merely introduced characters. Not much plot. Cliffhanger, buy next to see any action.
It’s okay. The first several chapters are high-energy, but they are scattered across so many different people and scenes that it was hard keeping track of everything. Overall, it really doesn’t seem to be a complete story: just a collection of events involving several different groups of people. No resolutions. Just cursory introductions before going further down the rabbit hole.
