By now most people know that the Bottle-Nose Dolphin is pretty much one of the biggest assholes in the animal kingdom. You know, for randomly hunting down and stalking and killing porpoises, sharks and baby dolphins for no other reason than the pure joy of murdering them in cold blood and so that then can then go off and rape other dolphins.However, the African Bat Bug could easily surpass the dolphin as one of nature's biggest bastards. Male Bat Bugs seem to have decided one day to pass overRachel Morgan lives in Cincinnati. Not the Cincinnati that you and I might be familiar with but a post-apocalyptic town that has ripped the curtains from the fact that there is a shadow world of all those creatures from pixies to vampires that have lived among humans for millennia. Humans became an endangered species when a bio-engineered virus ran amuck drastically reducing their population. Now those who lived in the Inderland were out and about. They may or may not live in your neighborhood.
Hated, hated, hated this book. Rachel Morgan got on my last nerve, and by the end, I was ready for her to get killed. However, her partners Jinx and Ivy were loads of fun.
Second Read: ★★★★First read: ★★★I liked it even more with this re-read! Sure, this was written awhile ago and some parts might not have "aged" perfectly, but it was still great! Uneven pacing in some sections, but knowing what comes after this, and how expertly-done the magic and world-building is, I'm not going to complain too much. I liked Ivy much more! Yay! Rachel and Ivy do have an awkward friendship in the beginning. They are both figuring out the living vampire-human platonic relationship
OK so the most telling thing for me about this book is that it took me OVER A WEEK to read it. It was not a page turner, and I just couldn't get through it any faster. It wasn't a bad book, it just wasn't gripping. At all. Things picked up once Rachel turned into a mink, but that happens halfway through. I found the whole relationship between Ivy and Rachel and all of Rachel's constant angst about Ivy quite tiresome. I kept wanting to shout at the book "make up your mind, trust her or don't
Rereading the series (or at least attempting to finish it) before the new book 14 comes out later this year. I'd forgotten just how much I adored Jenks - one of the best UF characters of all time!Very much enjoyed this revisit and can't wait to jump into number 2. :)---Fun book! I liked the characters enough to keep going. :)
3.5 Solid Series Start StarsWhenever Im starting a new series that is more than 3 books long I dont expect a lot from the first book. I only expect it to give me a taste of the world and the main characters. As I dip my toe into the Hallows pool to get a feel for the series Im hopeful. The characters are intriguing and show promise, there are plenty of hints of things to come without really giving anything major away and the world was interesting enough that I might want to visit it multiple
