If you are familiar with the TV series Supernatural you will have some insight into demon hunting, when Dean and Sam find themselves working with other hunters to bring down a big baddie. There is a lot of research and going over old prophecies and biblical references etc and as such parts of the book does get a bit bogged down with a lot of mental pacing. In other words part of the book really took forever to get moving.
We get some background info on Quinn’s demon hunting group, which she was the leader of. Having recently broken up with one of the members of her group, things get a bit maudlin for a bit. Once she has been shut putted into Alaskan waters with no memories of her past life she has to figure out who she is before things come to a head.
Ryan has a different outlook on demon hunters and wants no part of them. His gut tells him that the newest member of the crew is one of them but his body isn’t paying attention.
There is some nice building of sexual tension between these two, loads of snark, which I always enjoy and great teamwork once they put the pieces together.
Plus there is Captain Willa Marks, who I wish we had gotten more background on her, she had me totally intrigued. She was a kick butt woman that despite being mortal wasn’t afraid to go after some supernatural demons.
So while there was a lot of good fun and some tear jerking moments the story could have been shortened a lot. There was at times too much repetition of the same events just a different day. Areas were just dragged out. Plus the big baddie that they were fighting I mean we were getting a big build up and I thought this is going to be epic and we will get something out of this world after wading through all of the fogginess and it was so anticlimactic that I had to re-read it twice to make sure I hadn’t accidentally flipped a page. It was such a let down after everything that I felt cheated.
One of my pet peeves is when authors take strong women with big personalities and strong sexual appetites and Ess El You Tee shames them. I mean why take away their power and have them refer to themselves with derogatory names because they feel their passions strongly, for me it’s an automatic star drop. In this case I kept it at a 3 star instead of dropping it down to 2 stars. We get enough put-downs in the real world how about not doing it in our escape world?
