Sunopsis:
Virtutis gloria merces
Translation: Glory is the reward of valor
When given power, what would you be willing to sacrifice for the greater good?
Fed up with playing the normal game, recent university graduate, ex-cum laude, ex-soccer star, ex-popular and mostly broke Kera MacDonagh changed her life when she read 'How to be a Badass Witch' and shockingly, the spells worked.
She barely made it out of the first few weeks of on-the-job training before her powers got her in trouble.
Hunted as a magical vigilante, the Kims sacrificed to keep her safe.
Kera hunts criminals in the darkness of LA, but will she be able to hide the signature of her powers, too?
Having made the decision to come clean with a boyfriend, she must now live with the results.
With everything happening, Kera is balancing her sanity as well. Will magic be enough to help her come out on top?
Of course, she hopes. Because the other way lies madness.

Review:
How to be a Badass Vigilante is the second series in the How to be a Badass Witch storyline. It follows Kera as she learns more about the powers she has and uses them to fight the crime in her neighborhood under the shroud of the Motorcycle Man name. This is the first book in the next phase of the series, however you get enough of a background to not completely need to read the How to be a Badass Witch series first, although I would have liked to for even more context throughout.
Kera is a very strong character she is stubborn but courageous. It seems like she is consistently finding herself in no-so-great situations. She is able to work her way out of most of them but almost always at the expense of those around her, which I was not always trilled by. At times she read as a strong, defiant, force to be reckoned with, and other times she seemed overly 'woe-is-me'. I think as a main character she is interesting enough to read about but I liked the interplay of other characters alongside her most.
As noted, while following mostly Kera's story, is also told from the POVs of those around her. There is Stephanie - who works with her and is learning more, Chris - her boyfriend of sorts, Pavla - another witch, and then a storyline following some of the US coven higher-ups, Lovecraft and LeBlanc. I really enjoyed having the multiple point of view to read in, it pushed the story along and the side-quest of Lovecraft and LeBlanc was interesting, made me very upset for those poo new witches and wizards out there, and it was a bit foreboding.
I mostly enjoyed Pavla and her inner conflict with having to help Kera but also to assess her abilities. I won't say more here and ruin anything, but it added a good amount of depth that I felt the book needed.
Overall, this was a good book and I would like to continue the series. I think Kera has a long way to go and there are a lot of people that want to ensure she doesn't get there. If you like magic, witches, urban fantasy, this book is a good one to grab. It is on the shorter side and a pretty light read.
