A review by rgyger
Between Floors by W.R. Gingell

I have stayed up late the past three nights reading these books (I'll also be posting my review for the third book here in a minute). The stories are just so addicting and had me "turning" the pages on my ereader long after my body was telling me to go to sleep. The introduction of the don't-call-them-werewolves added a great mystery that was fully separate from the first. However, after reading all three of these back to back, I feel like the second and third books are interwoven in a way that sets them apart from the first. Kind of like watching a pilot episode of a series (if that pilot was actually good) and then finding that the format of the rest of the series is a bit different. And based on the end of book three, it seems as though book four is linked in with these two as well.
And since this review has turned into a review of both book 2 and 3, I guess I will continue with that format. The stories are great, with the characters remaining true to the first, but the structure is a little different in that there are scenes and actions taken by the characters which have nothing to do with the story of the book you are currently reading and will only come to fruition in the next installment of the series. Which holds true for book three, as there are scenes that I know will have to be addressed in book 4.
This change did affect my enjoyment of the story in that I did not like either book as much as the first. I didn't really feel that any of the characters had truly grown from one book to the next. They just exist as they are, with some glimmer of hope that one day they will be better. And I am holding out for that. Because as I mentioned, even with my complaints, I couldn't put these books down. I just hope that I will soon be able to find out what is going to happen with the strange cast of characters Pet appears to now be collecting.
