review 1: I threw this book across the room when I was finished. To many plot holes, With to many characters, and just to much going on to stay focused. I really liked the creativity of the book, the monsters most importantly, But overall I think that the book was very very rushed, and was to ambitious to be a simple paranormal romance. maybe If it had been a series and actually had time for all the ideas to be delevoped... as is, I was very disapointed.
review 2: There was a certain sarcastic undertone to a lot of Allie’s thoughts and dialogue that struck me as something I would say or think. And it’s not that she was a sarcastic person (snarky maybe but not sarcastic), but more that she viewed things things from a darker place. You don't go from a carefree existenc... moree filled with parties, money and expensive toys to the dull drudgery of being a waitress, without some bitter baggage. Not to mention a small mistake she made turned out to have far-reaching consequences.Anna Katherine paints a picture of a strong, but damaged woman who can't help wanting her easy life back while trying her best to clean up the mistakes she caused. It's not that Allie was born into the life or was given awesomely magical powers to combat the evil forces—she was told point blank she had no choice and to move on. I really liked Allie and was drawn to her story.In fact, I was so intrigued by the story and where it was going that before I realized it the book was done. I was certainly squicked out by some of the scenes (Anna Katherine doesn't let you go with a short blurb—no, she gives a richly detailed accounting of the action and fiends from Hell), but that took a backseat to how much fun the book is.The only complaint I have is that SALT AND SILVER is meant to be a 'paranormal romance', shelved with the romance section, labeled for the romance section and marketed for the romance crowd. Unfortunately, the romance is the secondary story to the action and kicking Hell portion of the story. It read more like an urban fantasy with romantic leanings, than a romantic story with paranormal leanings. A small quibble next to the fact that I enjoyed the book, though. less
