Audiobook. Read by Avi Rogue who is a fine reader, if a little stiff in places.

This is the second in the Swor  Soldier Series and follows Lt. Alex Easton's travels and experience  with "innocent monsters," as Easton kaself put it.

The story is fast-paced, which is at odds with how late the real gothic horror action takes place, as opposed to What Moves the Dead, which got into the creep-factor right from the getgo.

Once the first-hand horror starts, it is very well done and is an amazing concept; there just wasn't enough of it and earlier in the plot.

I don't know if Kingfisher will continue the series, but I will be on the lookout. While "Feasts" doesn't have the same punch as "Moves," it's still enjoyable and one I will listen to again.
