The Sentinels

review 1: Because I have gotten book 2 as an ARC, I thought it would be a good idea to read this one first so I knew what I was dealing with.What I found was a world quite similar to J R Wards "Black Dagger" series. Especially the Sentinels. In this book you will see that Duncan's story is quite similar to Butches story (If you have read JR Ward, you will know what I mean)This particular book is hot on steamy romance, light on kicking butt - especially the heroine. What I did find to be unusual and quite to my liking is that the book revolves more around the world building and less with the sex. Oh don't get me wrong...the steamy sex is still there -a lot! However because this is a nearly 400 page book, plenty of it is devoted to the world and this particular enemy. Also it is a rel... moreief that at least this book stays involved with this one couple and doesn't give us too many other stories. It does do well in addressing what will be up and coming liaisons, but it doesn't bog itself down with unneeded secondary and tertiary story lines.There is hope that the author stops overusing some adjectives like the word "purring"...
review 2: The concept has a lot of merit. Humans with extra-human abilities are freaks or perhaps the next generation of humans. Some raise the dead, others see souls, others can prognosticate etc. Callie Brown works with the dead. She gets called in during murders to read the last thoughts of the dead only this time there is someone in there with her. A true necromancer, someone who controls the dead. Duncan O'Connor loves being a cop but something about Callie sets off his proactive instincts and when he has to make a choice between Caliie and the investigation he doesn't hesitate. Jim Frangione narrates. The book has a Black Dagger brotherhood feel, probably because Frangione reads it. I didn't get the sexual tension between Callie and Duncan at all. From abhorrence to lust in seconds didn't work for me. Even learning Duncan's secrets didn't help me like the couple more. The world is decent, the main couple didn't work for me but there were other characters who would. less
