I just finished Drink Deep (Merit, an UF Vampire series) and am halfway through the second book in a Fury series by Kasey Mackenzie. I picked it up because an urban fantasy around Furies was new, and thought it might be worth checking out.
"Recognition hit Harper like a punch to the stomach. She staggered a crooked step back, brushing up against Scott behind her and Penn to her right."
Mini Review:
The first book was decent, but this novel isn't nearly as kick-ass. The heroine isn't going full fury-mode and fighting very much so far. The mystery she is solving doesn't appear to require typical detective skills, and the plot devices are weak.
My rating: Meh.

Sorry to hear you aren't liking it as much ... don't you just hate it when the books in a series don't live up to its earlier promise ?
ReplyDeleteI haven't read either book, but I've seen them around. It's very disappointing when the second novel isn't as good as the first.
ReplyDeleteGreat cover though, even if it merits a 'meh'. Not that I would judge by a cover of course LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks also for sharing on Read@UTS!
Kah - Yeah, thats exactly what I'm feeling!! A bit let down, I guess.
ReplyDeleteSonia - Let me know if you find anything nicer to read :)
AAL - That cover IS great!! And also the reason I picked up the first book...both have awesome covers.
Sorry this one's not really doing it for you. :(

Sorry to hear this one's a bit of a letdown, as Furies are definitely something I'd love to read more about.
ReplyDelete(And really not a fan of that cover, TBH. My eyes keep straying to where it looks like she's about to fall out of that corset/bodice thing.) :S
Smiles!
