While in no way a bad book, this is certainly the weakest in Armstrong's Women of the Underworld series. It just seemed to fall flat, lacking the vim and humor of her previous seven novels. I have to hope that it is limited to this book (and these characters) because it truly is an anomaly amongst the others. I feel that she picked two random characters (Hope and Karl) and randomly decided to pair them up. While that's fine, I have no problem with either but I always saw them as secondary characters, especially compared to Elena, Paige, Jeremy, Lucas, Clay etc. I can see that this along with the previous book (about Jaime Vegas in No Humans Allowed), Armstrong is using and incorporating many different and new characters, as well as fleshing out old ones from previous novels. In this case, it just seems to have fallen flat and resulted in a substandard book in an otherwise outstanding series.More of my reviews here: http://bibliophileanonymous.blogspot.com/
Ageless Pages Reviews
Because Good Books Never Get Old.
Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.
I like books. A lot. I buy them when I should buy clothes, or you know, food. I like to talk about books. A lot.
I review at Ageless Pages Reviews with Danielle - one of the most kickass people I know.
I'm on twitter as @msjessieee.
I ramble on there a lot. There is also a lot of CAPS and puns in my timeline.
Say hi, and let's talk about books!
