sandygx260's review against another edition
4.0
Yep, Caitlín Kiernan is too good a writer to sabotage herself while writing under a different name. These books were supposed to be a slam against paranormal romances. They are, very much so, but I think Kiernan warmed up to her character Quinn more than she expected to here. Good ole Siobhan Quinn, your common garden variety monster-hunter-lesbian-junkie-vampire-werewolf, is a pain in the ass who makes appalling decisions, but damn it, you want to see her win.
In a way she does here... at least she's around to tell this wild story, which is insane, bloody, and messy. A few scenes should not be read while eating lunch. Kiernan loops the finale back to her heart-wrenching novel "Daughter of Hounds", which is a lovely touch of madness.
As much as this series intrigued me, I am satisfied with how it ended. Quinn's still out there fucking and fucking up. She might be on my front step puking up human parts. But it's time to move along. I can't wait to see what Kiernan as Kiernan has for us next.
