The Others - werecreatures, vampires, elemental and other supernatural creatures - rule the world, and humanity is allowed to exist only because they're considered practical. Anyone who steps out of line, becomes "special meat." Humans stay in their own areas, and The Others rule everything else. ...
I should not have liked this as much as I did. In fact, I'd considered DNF'ing it early on. There were so many things in this book that normally signal a great big "NO" for me. For example, the main character's 'special snowflake' characteristics (most of the Others, who hate humans and view them pr...
So here is the thing: I´m not a big fan of urban fantasy. There is something about the world building and the characters that I can´t connect with and more than often there is a quickly escalating love story thrown in the mix, which leads to excessive eye-rolling on my behalf. So consider me surpris...
Engrossing story of Meg, a blood prophet who escapes her controller and takes refuge in an area where The Others reside. The Others are all types of supernatural entities who have an uneasy co-existence with humans. To bridge the gap they employ Meg as their liaison and she soon begins to get to gri...
I picked this book up as an in between. To break my reading blues. The description kind of drew me in, and the current book I was reading was falling a bit flat. So I figured it would be a fun break to break me out of my reading humdrums. And it did work. This was an easy and fun read. Felt like a ...
I’ve been meaning to read this book for months. And by the time I decided that it was finally time to read it, I wasn’t really in the mood. I couldn’t understand the world the author was trying to introduce and that felt torture. So after reading the first few paragraphs and not feeling it, I stoppe...
The Others #1 Downgrading the three stars to two because a negative perception of the book is what has stayed with me despite the initial more positive feelings. I liked the world in this book. As I mentioned in some of my updates, this is a modern-day fantasy world and not an urban fantasy as I...
Written In Red by Anne Bishop Book 1 of The Others As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut--a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg's Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe plac...
There is no doubt that Anne Bishop can write a compelling and entertaining story. The problem is that lurking under that very compelling and entertaining story is an ugly miasma of misogyny and -in this book’s case- racism. While not overtly rapey as The Black Jewels trilogy was, this book is still ...
