Haunted by Kelley Armstrong
Pretty interesting take on the afterlife. I like
that The Fates run the Supernatural side of things. Eve’s a fun
character. Enjoyed seeing her again and getting inside her head. Trisiel
is… yeah, he’s there. Not nearly as interesting as he could be, I
think, but I also think Supernatural spoiled me for angel characters so…
yeah. Anywho, Kristof getting more fleshed out was definitely good.
Don’t really feel one way or the other about him, really, but I
appreciated more character building.
The Nix as a villain was
alright, I guess. Didn’t feel any real peril with her and didn’t
remember her from the last time I read this so… eh.
No Humans Involved by Kelley Armstrong
Another book I’d completely forgotten but really
enjoyed upon reread. I actually quite like Jaime. Her character just
jumps off the page at me. The climactic scene honestly had shades of
Anita Blake, though Anita’s never gone into battle with those particular
tools before. I was along for most of Jaime’s ride, though I will admit
skipping the sex scenes almost entirely… too many flashbacks to bad
fanfiction, personally.
Anyway, not sure I have anything exactly
reviewish to say about the book. I just enjoyed it. Enjoyed the
characters. Enjoyed the ever expansive universe of The Otherworld that
just feels lived in.
