Loved my second dose of Nell and the gang. I hope we can dig deeper into the lives of the other team members at some point.

In some ways it didn't move as well as I would like, but in others, it explore unanswered questions - took care of some loose ends - And gave Nell someone to love.
People keep dying - important people - psyled needs to determine the whys and wherefores and stop the bad guys. Not everyone comes out unscathed. And Nell needs to decide what kind of woman she is going be - nothing half-way - what her future will be and who will be in it - including her sister, Mud.

This series continues to be compelling urban fantasy. Little for the romance fans out there, but if mysterious crime dramas coupled with fantasy species is your thing these are great.

Thank you and more please! I love this as much as the Jane Yellowrock series.

I just love Nell! This one wasn't quite as compelling as the first two, but that might have just been me in my end-of-December reading funk. Faith Hunter is still one of my favourite authors, and I have never read a character quite like Nell.

I cannot praise Faith Hunter enough. First she got me hooked on Jane Yellowrock and then as Jane's world expanded, Faith brought in Nell Ingram. This is an action packed adventure with plenty of story and character advancement. There is no sex, no swear words, a little graphic violence and best of all no cliffhanger. I thought there would be, but Faith Hunter saved me from wallowing in cliffhanger self pity.
The story was great. I don't mean on the low side of 5 great - I mean as high on the high side of 5 as the meter will go. There were monsters. You think there maybe isn't monsters at first, but you know better since PsyLED is involved. These are monsters that give me that feeling like the movie Jaws did to the ocean. If you listen closely, you can figure out where the monsters are coming from but the why that is answered in the end is just plain dark! It was GREAT!!!
The other part of the book was fun too. Not just a little bit, but a lot! I got to ride around with Nell and live her day. I liked how she got home and had to put logs into the stove to make heat for the house. I found her life interesting in an everyday kind of way. I enjoyed how she used her "church speak" to her advantage. I loved how Nell put her own father in his place when no one else could. Not even the Mamas. Go Nell!! I loved how Nell's love life changed and she had to do a lot of soul searching to figure out what to do. The will they/won't they between Occam and Nell was palpable. I could nearly feel the tense vibes that Occam was sending. Why tense? Well, there is a new man on the scene - if you are on team Occam, you'd better dive in and see what it's about.
You think that's all? Um, no. There is still the whole Brother Ephram thing, the Vampire tree thing and the Mindy "Mud" thing. There is a whole lot happening in this book. I was riveted and the conclusion was very satisfying. Now, I read a blog that claims this is the end of the series. Oh, boy. I hope not. I still want to be a part of Nell's life. I want to ride with her on her journey of life. In some ways she is more wise than a woman twice her age and in other ways, she's as wise as a woman half her age. It's a interesting and investing kind of story.

Entertaining
Faith Hunter does it again. Action-filled, interesting twists and turns. And a touch of romance. This was an entertaining read.
