You know it doesn't always matter to me. ;) This one sounds good and sometimes I like to be a bit overwhelmed with all different types of PN critters (via Avery).

It's always hard for an author to balance extensive world building and terminology in order to ensure it isn't burdensome. It sounds like there's a good balance here.

But you make an interesting point. I have a friend, raised firmly Christian, who considers herself pagan now, but couldn't read Anne Bishop's Jewels books because she couldn't get past the fact that Satan was a good guy. We definitely all come to our reading with past experiences which inform our preferences. <br /><br />Missie, despite the ridiculous tower of books in my TBR pile, I'm behind too. I read so much SFF as a kid, longing for more romance in those stories, and now there is just an endless richness of choices. Kids these days have no idea how lucky they are!

It's all a dastardly plot on our part!<br /><br />Misha, the PNR world is soooo expansive. It's easy to get lost in it. Which is a good thing :)<br /><br />Felicia, the only thing that makes an author happier than "I should get this book" is "I HAVE this book"! Hope you like them.<br /><br />Avery, if you read enough PNR you won't be innocent anymore! Though despite my jaded experience, I have to admit there are some stories that still make me blush. I save those for, ahem, special occasions.Jessa Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569827979530923930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-57977763684999741982011-03-31T14:33:46.703-04:002011-03-31T14:33:46.703-04:00Thanks so much, Jenny, for reading the books and f...Thanks so much, Jenny, for reading the books and for the thoughtful review. My critique partner will look at parts of this and say "See? See!

I hope you enjoy the world!<br /><br />Alison, I consider myself VERY adult. Um, except when it comes to Easter candy. Then not so much. Also, Christmas cookies. Very not adult then.

Maybe you can work your way up to these...;)<br /><br />Linds - The demon possession in this one was interesting, the demon's are repentant and the humans retain all their own thoughts and feelings, they just have heightened capabilities and can feel the demon rise and take over in fighting situations. Normally I don't deal well with anything relating to demon possession - movies like The Exorcist scare the wits out of me, but this possession has a different feel:)<br /><br />Missie - I was out of the loop on this one too and Jessa was nice enough to send me both this book and the first two so I was able to get caught up:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-45024143349248220812011-03-31T11:38:51.178-04:002011-03-31T11:38:51.178-04:00Call me Misha Jr. because I'm so behind of my ...Call me Misha Jr. because I'm so behind of my PNR/UF series, and there are many I haven't ever heard of. :(<br /><br />But looky at that cover!

I have to say though, there has always been something about demon-based series that have given me the heebie-jeebies - it's the knee-jerk reaction Catholic school girl in me.
