A review by stephxsu
Bayou Moon by Ilona Andrews

4.0

With On the Edge, I had read it expecting a more Kate Daniels-esque type with the emphasis on world-building and dark forces clashing instead of romance, which made what I got a delightful surprise. Knowing now that the Edge series revolves more around the romance, I was slightly more critical and expectant going into BAYOU MOON. Fortunately, my expectations were well met. Cerise is my favorite kind of independent, sword-wielding female totally capable of taking care of herself and others. William was slightly harder to like, considering his behavior in On the Edge, but in BAYOU MOON we really get to see more of his "puppy" side, which is utterly heart-melting. I don't like it as much as I do On the Edge, for there is less romance and more epic battle-ness, but still, Ilona Andrews doesn't do wrong: she just does *different*.
