The Shadow Slayers

review 1: I really enjoyed this book. It had twists and turns all around, and a lot of characters to keep track of, but somehow it is not difficult to keep up with everything. I liked how it popped up surprises and unexpected revelations every once in a while, making it more exciting to read. The bedroom scenes are steamy, just like in the previous books, and the personality of the main characters continue to deepen throughout the story.I had trouble putting this book down, and I hope that the story about Kara and her angels will continue=)
review 2: Dark Flight is the third book in the Shadow Slayers series. I admit I haven’t read the previous two books so I was literally jumping in the middle by starting with this one. It took until about a quarter into the novel b... moreefore I could really get into it, but once I got my bearings it got pretty intense. Based on the bits of back story provided here and there, a lot has happened leading up to this one. The author did a great job of sprinkling the details so those who have followed along the whole time wouldn’t be annoyed, but people like me could still figure out what was going on.Kara, the main character, is really relatable. Based on what I could figure out, she didn’t know she was anything but human until about eight months before. Since then she’s been trying to find her way after discovering she is immortal and part of a kind of fallen angelic race (for a lack of a better way of putting it). She’s smart, resourceful, and not one to let all the powerful men around her do all the work. I really grew to like her.Then there are the male characters. Since this story is told in third person you do get to be in their heads sometimes as well. Gavin is the main one for this one. He’s strong, but honorable and sweet. At first I was worried he’d be a pushover, but he didn’t always let Kara have her way. Julian is/was his best friend, depending on how you look at it due to some circumstances that must have happened in the last novel. They are at odds with each other because both love Kara, but they know they have to work together to overcome a greater evil. Admittedly, this does make for a love triangle. The difference is there is hope Kara just might be able to get both guys in the end. I’ll leave off on saying more on that, other than the author does a good job of making it all palatable and believable.Other than the very beginning, the pacing was a bit slow at first but it picked up as I got farther into the story. I was kind of glad it didn’t get too crazy for a while since I was trying to get things figured out. I’ll definitely have to go back and read the first two books as this one showed me this is a series worth following. There are plenty of other characters who were likeable and some bad guys who were definitely evil. Lots of twists and turns as well, especially for Kara who experiences a major physical change I won’t spoil, but thought was awesome. Oh, and I really wish I had my own animated pillow. You’ll have to read the book to find out about Stripey, but let’s just say he’s awesome and something you’d want to have around.This is a good series and one I would recommend to urban fantasy fans. With most of the main characters being of the winged variety it’s not typical and a good change of pace (though not quite as dark as Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series). If you’re looking for something fun and different, pick up Dark Flight and its predecessors, you won’t be sorry. I give it four whips!Note- I was provided a free copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. less
