Not sure if it's me or the book but its just more of the same. Nothing really gripped me in this one. ( )

Favorite in the series so far. ( )

One of the best series I've read in a while. Keeps your interest throughout the entire tale. It's hard to find a flaw in such a great story, strong characters with depth, and honestly good writing. ( )

Two and a half stars. Getting to see Jill interact with another hunter was easily my favorite part.

Come to think of it, though, this one had a particularly high quality supporting characters. ( )

I enjoyed this one quite a bit - the story was interesting and multi-layered. Jill is asked by a cop and personal friend to look into something that at first doesn't seem to be her kind of thing. As a favor, she digs into it, as in the same day seems other nightmares come into play.

I think the story works well because the mystery is more complex, richer, and tied into all sorts of villains and things. It was interesting to see a returning villain having something to do with it - there was a neat twist there. It digs a little deeper into the Sorrows, which sound mighty nasty. Besides that you run into corrupt police officers, conspiracies, and even someone trying to kill Jill herself.

Jill isn't my favorite character. I understand she has to be tough and brutal in her profession, but some of her actions are a little arrogant. I get that she's tough because of her hellbreed mark, but the author goes overboard with having her almost die in this book - seriously, at least three times.

There is very little Saul since he's away visiting his sick mother, and Perry is hardly in the book either since party of their relationship changing last book. I like Saul's weres that are left behind to back her up, and the were angle was interesting.

There's plenty of violence, bloody gore, killing, action scenes, and tight knit pacing. I don't care for Saintcrow's dialogue or language but she writes well and I enjoy her stuff. As far as the mystery tales go, this has the best one so far. ( )
