Magic Bites - Fernando's
by Gordon Andrews, Ilona Andrews
3.5-4
I think this book got stronger as it went along. I was a little worried when I started this that this might be another one of those books where the main char is the lone fleshed out woman in the story and all the other players in the story are various men. And it kind of is that way, but at least there's another woman she sometimes talks to? It's very little, but it's more than some other books and I can believe that there's a relationship there. At this point, without having read any further in the series, like, I still hold out hope that it can get better on that front.
I'm glad to be adding this series to my urban fantasy repertoire (lol). I'm interested in seeing how it turns out. It didn't grab me right away and I didn't feel super immersed in it like I do with books I'm REALLY into, but I did enjoy it and I do think it's one of the better urban fantasy books I've read so far (only beat by the Mercy Thompson series).
OH. And I was into the fact that vampires are totally disgusting creatures that normal humans are expected to revile in this series. The vampire myth in this book is interesting (in fact, I think I'd like to know more about ALL the creatures that are in this world). Like, I'm all for enjoying the sexy vampire thing but sometimes we need to take it back to the creepy monster thing.
