Arthur creates the exact right blend of PNR, urban fantasy, and sci-fi in this series. I’m a sucker for stories about a world barely clinging to the ruins of its former self. In this case, it’s due to a war that happened over one hundred years ago between shifters and humans that’s left us both at t...

This could have been a wonderful book and the start of a series that I would have followed avidly but the writing degraded my enjoyment too much for me to want to continue. "City Of Light" is an Urban Fantasy / Sci-Fi book that has a lot of strengths. It brings together humans, shifters, aliens, g...

I was searching for a new UF series. One that would make the waits between new Mercy or Kate books bearable. Found this one. And loved it. The heroine is great. She is not a human in the strictest sense, she is an enhanced, bio-engineered being. But she has a soul, a unique voice and a character...

Many, many years ago bombs were dropped on the world to stop the war between the species. The bombs tore holes between the worlds which left openings for demons, wraiths and death spirits to enter. Now a hundred years later the best thing to do is stay out of the shadows and the dark. Unless you wan...

I love this author but struggled a bit with this one. I guess being that it's the first in the series there was a lot of character and world building and I got somewhat lost. This was set post apocalyptic with engineered humans, shifters, vampires and other paranormal folk. It took me a while to con...

I was really excited when I saw that Keri Arthur had a new series coming out. City of Light the first book in the Outcast Series is an exciting and imaginative futuristic tale. Tiger is the last of her kind, a déchet, a humanoid supernatural hybrid that was bred as a tool in war. The story had ama...

It's all about the details in the building of a great series. The first half of this book is packed with world building, a complex world with so many levels to explore in the future. There is barely a moment to catch your breath between paragraphs. I admit I had to go back and slow down several time...

City of Light kicks of a new, futuristic fantasy series from Keri Arthur. In this unique world, there was a five-year race war between humans and shifters over a hundred years ago. The weapons used by the shifters ripped open portals to another dimension, allowing all sorts of dangerous “Others,” su...

I really enjoyed City of Lights. There were many good surprises and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book. Let's get straight to the point: I loved the world building. It's imaginative and unique. I like the idea of the dechet. And one slowly gets to know more and more about the past wars, l...
