review 1: The two things I liked the best about this book was that a) that one pesky person was finally taken care of and b) it didn't end in a cliffhanger. I absolutely hate when books just end without taking care of all the business. In this installment of the series we have Shiarra and Sara being held hostage in some macabre mansion while everyone is fighting for the title of King Badass. I liked that we got to see a scared as shit Shiarra take a stand to save herself and then still be brave enough to go back and try to help the others. This Shiarra was a bit beaten down, but I can totally understand the reason why. I also liked seeing Arnold get to kick a little butt for his woman. While I'd like to say that I will be reading the next in the series, but I'm kinda tired of all th... moree drama that follows this woman around.Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.
review 2: This review is for part six of the H and W Investigations series by Jess Haines and follows on from Forsaken by the Others. I don't really feel happy to recommend this as a standalone as so much that has happened in previous books comes home to roost here and it really is a good idea to read this series in order.Shiarra wakes up to find herself held captive by Max one of the cruelest vampires she has ever had the misfortune to meet. His liking for slaves and natural cruelty sets Max apart from others of his kind and he truly is a monster. Shiarra needs to escape but her captor is determined to use her to take over even more territory. Separated from the one vampire that she does trust Royce, Shiarra needs to keep her wits sbout her but her latent bloodlust is fast becoming a problem . Getting herself free is her goal but she's not going to leave the other slaves behind. Shiarra may be clinging on to her humanity by a thread but this girl will escape or die trying!This series is pure urban fantasy , it's dark, full of exciting creatures and just pulls the reader in. Although there is a romantic element to it I thought that Royce was a little underused in this instalment and I didn't quite buy into their relationship. That being said our heroine keeps her cards pretty close to her chest and as usual needs bailing out but she's no slouch! Shiarra keeps going no matter what and defeat doesn't ever seem to be a part of her repertoire . No matter how much she suffers she's always true to herself. Perhaps that's why fans love this series? A selfless heroine who will do everything in her power to save others no matter what the cost to herself. She's definitely the kick ass sort and I adore the humour that runs through this book, although stories in first person don't appeal to all readers. It's not my favourite in this series as I wanted more Royce but supporting characters got to step up with both Gideon and Arnold contributing to the action . My favourite character though was definitely Soo-Jin and I sincerely hope we see more of her.So it's not exactly a cliffhanger ending but there are still questions to be answered . I guess I just expected more but one thing is certain this book will please fans of the series. less
