E.S. Moore (1)

I received this copy from the publisher for free, in exchange for a review, through Netgalley.

This is the fourth book in the Kat Redding series. It continues the story line created in book one, adding more drama to Kat's life in the form of problems, obstacles, and people that try to get too close to her. This time around, the Left Hand has closed in, jealousy raises it's head with a new member to the Luna Cult Clan, and Beligral has again made an offer that Kat is not sure she can turn down. While spinning from one issue to another, Kat is also learning how to be human again, by being more open and willing to share problems.

Moore, in my opinion, has done a great job in a series, leaving an opening for more (there was an excerpt for the next book)that grabbed my attention and kept me interested. Much of the plot line was not easily figured out as I read, and the though the characters seem too 'good' when they are good, and just 'evil' when they are bad guys, the read was still enjoyable.… (plus d'informations)

I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher, Kensington Books, through NetGalley, for a review.

This is the fifth book in the Kat Redding series, and takes off pretty much right after book four. By now hopefully you have read the others and are aware that Kat is a vampire that hunts other vampires, and weres. She has a human room mate that summons a demon, has feelings for a werewolf leader, is oath-bound to another werewolf that wants her, and has so many "fingers in the pot" stuff going on, it makes her more human and likable.

Great continuation of the story line. I like how this one closes a few doors on some things that had happened before, and yet, leaves us hanging for another book to find out what happens next. The 'Supes' (vamps, weres, etc) are described realistically. Though I am not for the romance aspect in many of the paranormal/urban fantasy genres, the little love interests going on through this series is pretty dent, with out going overboard, jumping into some sex scene every page turn.… (plus d'informations)

This is the first novel in the series of Kat Redding, a vampire bent on revenge on her own kind to protect humans. With the help of a human (Ethan) that helps keep her supplied in silver weapons, plus other things (guns, motorcycles, home security) she takes on the courts of other Vampires, who control Purebloods (humans) and Werewolves in a modern-day society.

In this first installment, Kat is approached by a conclave of werewolf devotees (the Luna Clan), led by a sorcerer of unknown ability/power. He has asked her to join with them in order to rescue their leader from a court of vampires that has recently risen to be considered a Minor Court. There are quite a few twists in the story as Kat proceeds to not only defend herself and her home from an unknown adversary, but also being approached by a traitor to the Luna Clan, who has ulterior motives. Kat has to decide who she will help, why she will help them, and which way will get the collapse of yet another court of vampires.

I had a hard time setting this one aside as I was reading it, so it seemed to read through pretty fast. Moore has a great way of telling an action story, with, at least at this time, no major romantic side-story. I look forward to the next book, revealing a new 'enemy', and possibly more back story on the whole Kat & Ethan angle.… (plus d'informations)

Kat Redding is a vampire who hunts down rogue bad supernatural beings. But she’s tired of it all. The death, the darkness, the claims so many have on her - she’s tired of being Lady Death. When an opportunity pops up for her to take out a rogue angel, she initially says no. But eventually she gives in because it’s the only way to advance the plot.

I’m so disappointed in this book. This series started out kickass with Kat as a great but flawed heroine and a cast of side characters worth noting. And then it deteriorated. This last book (that I can tell since there’s not another listed in the series) was completely ugh for me. Kat is whiny. So whiny. And mad all the time, taking it out on everyone and they put up with it. She hasn’t grown and neither have her companions. She does stupid shit when she should be smarter and balks at things she shouldn’t. This book ended with me sighing in relief that it was over instead of hoping that someday there would be more to Kat’s story. So much potential wasted. Oh, well.… (plus d'informations)
