Yet another wonderfully written book from J.D Robb, aka Nora Roberts. As all of her In Death series there is a wonderful mix of action, suspense and romance.
This time, the investigation centers around Wicca and Witchcraft elements, giving the entire book a supernatural feeling that is bound to appeal to those, like me, who greatly enjoy fantasy, but also enough science and "reality" so it doesn't repel those who don't enjoy fantasy. It's fantastically balanced.
As always, we've got Eve investigating. I love watching how with each case, Eve trusts Roarke more and becomes more accepting to the notion of using him in her investigations. This time, she openly makes use of his abilities as she can't use her department's, and I love comparing with Eve of book 1, who'd never agree to that without a fight, or even Eve from book 4, who would've still grumbled about it. Eve just keeps evolving!
That's not to say I don't get annoyed with her. 80% through the book I was screaming at her that she's being stupid (which she totally was, btw!) and that she should listen to what her heart tells her. She. Just. Wouldn't. Listen.

J.D Robb's In Death series is quickly making its way up my favorite series list. If anything, it keeps getting better with each book!
This is really going to be just a quick, short review, cause I don't have much to say I haven't informer reviews of the series: It still has the same wonderful characters, still has wonderful plots, still has the same wonderful writing.
RAPTURE IN DEATH begins in Eve and Roarke's honeymoon.
If you haven't read the other books and don't know who those are, Eve is a homicide detective in a futuristic world. She's tough, intelligent, intuitive and cares a lot for the victims she investigates--even when no one else does.
Roarke is the guy who owns half of that futuristic world (and who wasn't always on the right side of the law), a person whose name probably represents un-measurable wealth and influence in the dictionary, and the guy who managed to catch the tough detective.
Both of those people have had a hard past, but both managed to make something of themselves despite of it.
The two of them together make one of the better couples I've ever read about; they complete each other in a way that's absolutely amazing to read about. I can't imagine Eve or Roarke without one another.
So...

Glory in Death is the second book in the In Death series, but the first I'm writing a review for. Don't mistake, though, so far, the In Death series is pretty amazing. It has all the makings of becoming a favorite series of mine, if it keeps this way.
