It was a good book to pull out and read when I needed something to do. There seemed to be so much going on at the beginning that I had a little trouble remembering all the characters, their histories, and their relationships with each other. I'm sure it was easier to pick up if you'd read the previous books.That said, this book was decently enjoyable. I liked Sylvie enough to root for her, and I liked that her story revolved on outside forces and not internal angst or her love life, as so manyA pity that I read this book first instead of the first few books before this. However, this is book mostly standing on its own with the current plot. There were characters that must have been introduced in the first few books so I was lost at times when it involved them.Throughout the reading, all I wanted to do was to get to the ending fast. To me, the gods and monsters in this book is about destruction. Another point of view instead of gods offering hope in our lives. It's a divergent on its
Review brought to you by OBS staff member HeidiBeware of spoilersSylvie Lightner is back on the case in the third installment of the Shadows Inquiries series by Lyn Benedict. This time Sylvie is looking for a missing woman and the case turns out to be more than she bargained for (as usual) when she discovers five dead women floating in a lake. She calls the police in on the case and everyone is stunned when the police are attacked by the dead women.Sylvie ends up bringing her favorite
A subplot in Ghosts & Echoes involved Sylvie and a werewolf, Tatya, looking into the disappearance of a young woman in the Everglades. Lyn Benedict picks that thread back up at the beginning of Gods & Monsters. The woman has been found dead in the swamps, along with four others. Sylvie doesnt want to get personally involved in this case, so she calls the police but when the police move the bodies, one explodes into flame and the other four shift into animals. Three policemen are killed
I enjoyed the first book in the series, but had difficulty getting through the second one. This third entry in Shadows Inquiries was excellent though. Sylvie is a real kickass heroine, not just some chick in tight leather pants with an attitude.
Although I'm really tired of Lilith's ancestor as the protagonist, I still enjoyed this book.I liked the mystery and didn't see any of the twists coming, which I appreciate. I do feel like atheists are getting screwed in Benedict's world though.I'm glad Sylvie is expanding her circle a little. It's probably good for her.
It seemed like a lot of the the plot lines from the last book were left unexplored.
