Blood of the Earth by Faith Hunter

5.0

This is one of the best Series Book 1 I've ever read. Love the main character Nell, I enjoy the mystery of what she is. A great strong character without being annoying. I like the Team Eighteen members, though as in the Jane Yellowrock novels Rick is an jerk. I can't remember why he can't shift, but hopefully that can be resolved, otherwise he will just not develop and keep being a jerk. I like that the author didn't go super deep into the other characters, leaving plenty to be explored in the following books. The tempo was perfect, the details pertinent, the cult details and hangups fascinating. Throughout the changes in her life and situation make sense and are not unrealistic. Can't wait for book 2, checking for pre-order option right now!
