But somehow, Tempting Danger approaches these storylines in a unique way. Police investigation UFs have also been done and done. She is actually a character I would enjoy meeting and I wanted her to succeed.Shifters have been done and done.
The main character is not rude nor is she funny, but she is strong and enjoyable to read about. Many UF series depend on a sarcastic heroine that is abrasive and who is generally not liked by most of the side characters. But damn, I am so glad I read this book.Tempting Danger is good, the story is good, the writing is good, the world is unique and the characters are even better. So there was a lot working against me picking up this book. And if I can avoid murder investigation urban fantasy books, I do. The cover doesn't call to me and urban fantasy just doesn't hold the same appeal to me anymore. If a friend hadn't recommended this series to me - repeatedly, I wouldn't have read it.
Reading the newly released books in my favorite series but not starting any new urban fantasy series. So I have been off of urban fantasy for awhile now. I do warn you that the end of the story is in a different end of the fantasy scale or genre than it seemed to be in the beginning, which you may find disconcerting like I did (sort of from urban fantasy, down-to-earthish, supernatural creatures out of the closet to otherworldly alien/religious influence).
Although this story wasn't so much "alien", it had the sort of vibes alien stories do towards the end, if that makes any sense.Īnyway, if that sort of story IS your thing, you would probably enjoy this book. The story started talking about a mysterious goddess, or "Her", and other realms, which wasn't concrete enough for my tastes, too wishy-washy, too wide in scope without any real detail. Everything became vague in an annoying and otherworldly way. Except I had to downgrade it to two stars, because the fantasy and world building elements also started to flat to me, though that had a lot to do with personal taste. But all in all, still a decent three star read. Too much of the mystery was given away, and the romance sort of went from zero to sixty without enough of a real courtship/flirtation.
Then things started to slide into mediocrity in my opinion. I barely put thr book down until I reached about halfway through. An air of mystery in the world-building, some steamy romance, and an engaging police-driven format.
