Dark, Raw Imaginative and Gritty. Awesome Book! Sent straight to the top of my favorite books read in 2010 list.
Kelly Meding has created a hard-to-put down world that will have you on the edge of your seat, and reading into the wee hours of the morning. This is a perfect addition to the Urban fantasy genre that doesnt dissapoint. Even though the opening chapters are somewhat confusing, the more the book progreses, the easier it is to understand. I was thrilled to pieces when i opened the 2nd book up to the exact scene where the first left off..... now for my review:
Evangeline Stone is a Dreg Hunter. (Dreg=any paranormal being, aka: Goblins, Gargoyles, Gremlins, Elves, Trolls, Vampires, Shapeshifters/Weres etc. All of which we meet in this book)
She wakes up on a morge table only to find she is now inhabiting someone elses body. She quickly learns her Triad (group that she hunts with) has been killed, and a species of Owlkins were assisnated protecting her, by another group of Triads that were told she had gone rouge. After she finds her Handler, Wyatt Truman, she learns he purchased a spell from an Elf that allowed her to be brought back to life for 3 days. But with any purchase, comes a price. He brought her back to get information she withheld before she died. Someone is creating monsters in the city, a war is brewing, and the clock is ticking. 3 days until she dies again.
I cannot give enough praise for this book. its full of action, suspence and raw emotion. Lots of blood and gore with mystery and mixture of paranormal. Evy is a strong character that fights for what she belives in, but is able to show weakness at the same time. This is not a book for the faint hearted. There is cursing, fighting, and fuschia blood splattered everywhere. Definitely a series to follow. 5 stars all around!
