A review by setaian
Curse on the Land by Faith Hunter
4.0
Nell Ingram returns with her team of supernatural law enforcement officers. In this book they're on the hunt for a coven of witches that have cast a working that is going haywire and killing people.
So...
There is some good and some not so good.
The very best part of this book is Nell Ingram on her own land. When it's just her and her soulwood I loved it. When the story is small and measured it feels right. I would enjoy a book just about her weeding her garden.
What doesn't really work for me is the guns and gadgets. The law enforcement jargon. The glocks and the CSI. All of that really makes the story feel like a shake and bake romantic suspense. Throw in a car chase, a shoot out and search warrant and voila! There's your book.
It feels easy. And it also feels like an opportunity lost. An opportunity for something truly original.
It's good so 4 Stars. But it's good in the same way as a 100 other books.
