Maybe I should have given this book more time, but 50 pages in, and my mind still keeps wondering. Nor do I want to take the time to go back and re-read.
This is a very decent read especially for a first book in the series, BUT... what I found really hard to swallow is improbability of the decisions made by Jayne. She is a poor student from a very strict religious family, who suddenly receives a huge fortune from her uncle, who's been estranged from ...
Hmmmm, I don't dislike it but I don't find it as intense and thrilling either, for a urban fantasy book. In fact, most of the times, I find it quite bland. The characters are okay, but the only one I find as interesting enough is the vârkolak, Midian. Jayné itself hasn't really grabbed my heart yet ...
I'm really not a big fan of urban fantasy. Discovering the author's created world is (for me) the most exciting part of fantasy, and starting in the real world takes a lot of the fun out of it. Besides, our own world but with magic, vampires, demons, werewolves and the like? It's so implausible that...
The story line was excellent and the characters surprising with each aspect revealed. The mind of Jayne was beautifully shown and delved deep into various aspects of the world and life in general as she sought to understand her new world. The final death of Coin was nerve-wracking not only for the...
3.5 StarsIf you were to suddenly inherit an obscene amount of money and property do you know the first thing you would do? Find out how much you inherited, go shopping, check out one of the places you can now call home, kill some demons. Check, check, check, and...well most of us would skip on that ...
I had to really suspend my disbelief @ first. Just found it a bit far-fetched, how quickly Jayne accepted the sudden change in her circumstances & the discovery of the secret paranormal world her uncle was involved in. After I got over that initial hurdle, I was totally sucked into Jayne's world and...
Mini Review:This book was a fast upsidedown ride for the main character, Jayné and a introduction to a world where "demons" are seen as various types of parasites and plague mankind. I have to admit that I wasn't captivated by the whole adventure mostly because of the information dumps you would get...
Fun enough, in a sort of slightly shallow "lots of money and fights and hot interesting men" way, but never really transcends it. Feels more like the narration of a movie than a book, really - the characters and the plot both stay very thinly sketched in. What it does it does right though - the paci...
