Magic Bites
by Ilona Andrews
DID NOT FINISH
Well, here's one that just is not for me. While I do enjoy myself some good gritty writing, there's a point between enjoyable and "too far." This just feels so much like the author was trying way too hard to be gritty and edgy. If the world itself is fleshed out and the characters/story interesting enough to balance things out, that's one thing, but it just felt like Andrews was throwing one supernatural thing after another at the reader with little to no explanation. I never did figure out when this was set, or what happened with the world, but honestly I didn't really care. The most clear it ever got was Bono being referred to as a singer from way back.
I don't know. I like the idea of the vampires being primitive, murderous creatures, but having them run around naked and the way to tell how old they are is based on how shriveled their scrotums are? "Well, gee, I think this guy's about 50, but let's flip him over and give a good long look at his balls to be safe."
What?
