I was just talking to my husband about Lori last night. He was asking for more recommendations for reading material. He’s been frustrated with the last batch of urban fantasy — he said he feels like the author is either good at creating heroes, but the secondary characters are cardboard (or vice versa). So I mentioned Lori as being really good at characterization.

I think you should be fine starting with this one. One nice thing about this series is that the past heroines/heroes aren’t all hauled out for each new book to show us how happy they are or what they’re up to. You could also refer to her website which has information about each book in case you get lost — but I doubt that you would. The main thing to remember is that horrible beasties are loose in the world and that a super secret organization was formed after WWII to help hunt them down and keep the majority in the world from knowing that these monsters exist.

Amazon has a Kindle edition. I downloaded the sample chapter because this sounds interesting. Any problem with starting with this one? (Mixing up the books in a series does not bother me if I can make sense of them. I read the first four books in C J Cherryh’s foreigner series in total back ward order so you can see my tolerance is high.)

I liked this book a lot, but mostly because of Grace. I pretty much guessed the ‘bad guy’ right away, and I thought the hero wasn’t that interesting. But Handeland has a terrific voice and she’s definitely an auto-buy for me.

I do wonder at the cliffhanger at the end…and I’m eagerly looking forward to Handeland’s new series!
