Motor City Witch is the second book in Pape's series which moves between Detroit and the Fae realm. This installment starts out strong with a confrontation between past lovers witch Elise and Fae lord and Detroit portal guardian Aidan Green. There is also a fairly strong action packed plot in the background which expands the conspiracy led by Elven purists against those who have some Fae blood and has some real emotional moments when several half blood Fae members of the families who aligned against the purists are kidnapped.I enjoyed Motor City Witch, almost as much asMotor City Faeeven though the romance between Elise and Aidan wasn't quite as well done as the one in that book.  Even though I liked both the leads and their chemistry was good together, the motivation for love scenes was a bit more forced in this story - possibly due to the fact that the action in the background plot didn't leave much time for quiet moments for the pair to allow their reconnection to build more slowly.  Instead, during the rare downtime between crises for Elise and Aiden early on in the story, there was 'I just want a distraction sex' and 'Life affirming sex' and those tropes always feel like they are forcing the steamy stuff in, rather than having them flow more naturally.  But that wasn't a huge detractor because, as I mentioned before, I liked both of the leads and I wanted to see them togetherSo, I still am hooked on this world with witches, Fae and werewolves.  I was happy that the past pair Ric and Meghan have a part to play here, and that there are clearly two future pairs waiting for their turn in the spotlight - I already have the third book,Motor City Wolf, on pre-order.
