Innocence is relative, and evil is damned hard to kill. . .
Kat Redding would love to take a break from the gruesome, dangerous work of hunting down rogue vampires and werewolves, battling for innocent lives. But there's no peace for Lady Death. Until Kat's young charge, Sienna, appears on her doorstep, escaped from the shadow-paradise of Delai. Sienna is weak, confused, desperate--human in the utmost. If Kat is going to have any hope of breaking the hold of Delai, she'll have to infiltrate the walls around the false sanctuary. And the only way she can do that is to trade in her battle-hardened, bloodthirsty vampire's body--for Sienna's human form.
With no weapons but her wits, Kat has to trust a demon, defeat an angel, and wrestle with her own rebel soul--because with all the fear and death she's conquered, no one has ever offered her another day under a warm yellow sun.
Souls of the Damned appears to begin not long after the conclusion of book four. Even though I was beginning the series at this phase of the journey and obviously missing quite a bit of world building and character introduction, the story delivered enough suspense to keep me turning the pages to see what was going on and what would happen next.
The story is complete with the writing well executed and the characters colorful and intriguing. I really like Kat who is bit of a hardcore, yet at times vulnerable, woman. She is in a time of 'between', following a devastating occurrence, which is only partially explained, when a young woman from her past she had made a vow to shows up on her doorstep in need of help. I became so curious to know more about these characters and what had transpired that I found myself hopping over to pick up the first four books in the series so I could go back and start from the beginning and I certainly intend to read them.
The story concludes leaving you feeling satisfied for now, but still with an opening for future adventures. While I would definitely recommend this read to urban fantasy fans, I would suggest perhaps not beginning the series with this installment as much will be missed and as I found the series moderately priced it is worth starting at the beginning. I received this book via NetGalley.

It can be hard reading books in the middle of a series. Sometimes it doesn't matter at all. Glad the book was enjoyable anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true Sherry. I did like the characters enough that I will go back and read the other books, the hooks are in me now and I have to know what happened LOL
DeleteI'd never read about that series before, but now I'm intrigued. Thanks for sharing :)
