Worth the read

Sometimes what it comes down to with the first book in a series is whether or not you’re willing to pay for the next installment. I think this one’s definitely worth reading the next one. If that’s what you’re wondering then read no farther. Pick up the book, and go for it! I like this series, because it’s not about some chick in tight leather, who thinks she’s less attractive than she is, getting all the guys with her wit and sass (a character that has started to become obnoxious to me the more Urban Fantasies I read). The plot and creatures in this one are different from the norm (No vampires OR werewolves. YAY!!!), and there’s just a tinge of horror. I probably wouldn’t call it a horror novel, even though I found it in the horror section on bookbub, but I could see someone looking at it as one. The characters are also different from your 20 something’s, and the writing has a more mature feel to it. I feel like the characters have lived life, and have settled into their middle-age nicely. To me, this one had the feel of a mystery/thriller, though the plot was much different from one, it has that grit you find in that genre. I haven’t quite figured our protagonist out, and I would have liked to see more of his abilities in action. Hopefully this comes through in the next book. I also felt like I had missed a book somewhere before this. There was talk about things that had happened in the past, almost stated in a way that made it sound like a recap of events to me. I went back and checked to make sure that I was reading the first book in a series. Yep, I was. So this falls under the issue of telling the reader rather than showing, I think. My own little pet peeve, I’m hoping the future books in this series get better about showing rather than telling. In the end, I’ll read on, and see what happens next.
