I just couldn't get into this book, I tried a few times, I think I may be too old and not in the intended age group , my fault for requesting the book, I don't want to put anyone else off it, I do think its my fault.
Try me by Parker Blue.
Val and her faithful hellhound race to retrieve the Encyclopedia Magicka before its magic is turned against them.
Val is part-demon teen vampire fighter and her faithful terrier hellhound are once again patrolling the dark city streets of San Antonio, Texas. Val's hunky human partner, Detective Dan Sullivan, is giving her the cold shoulder since she beheaded his vampire ex-fiancée. Vamp leader Alejandro is struggling to keep the peace between vamps, demons and humans.
A very good read with good characters. I loved how val could talk to Fang.
Can't wait for next part. 5*. Thanks to netgalley.
I absolutely adore the Demon Underground books, its a series I simply can't put down. Val totally rocks, Dan is turning out to be a total sweetie, not to mention a babe, and Fang is to cool for words and so damn cute, he always steals the show. This series will definitely be going on the keepers shelf..!!
I have to say I liked this book and hope the series continues. However, I don't like it as much as the first one.... Overall I think the story development is good and like a previous reviewer, I like Dan moving to the background and the interest in Shade as a character. What I don't like is the change in family dynamics. One of the reasons I really liked the first book was because for once the main character had a screwed up family and one of the parents was reasonably jerky -- just like real life. I'm tired of the storys involving families having the perfect family or misunderstood family member that just needs to be understood. Come on! In real life there are a lot of jerky/crappy parents with their own baggage out there and it's ok to acknowledge it. It's one of the halmarks I like about the Anita Blake and Merry Gentry Series.
With that said, it's still a good book and I can't wait until the next book in the series!
