Today I'm over @ Dear Author with my review of the first book in a new urban fantasy series I've been circling for awhile. Written in Red is the first in Anne Bishop's Others series. A string of solid reviews induced me to give it a shot, and I'm really glad I did.
I can't quit Jennifer Echols . Not that I really try that hard, but I read her new ones and often feel as though I'm still searching for that one in possession of that certain something that will make me feel the way Going Too Far did. Like I couldn't put it it down. And definitely like I didn't hate either of the main characters after the fact. Well, I found it with Such a Rush . I read this 300+ pager in a single night, which clears up the question of whether or not I couldn't put it down. And I finished it definitely not hating either of the main characters. I didn't finish it loving them both unreservedly, though. I loved Leah with my whole heart from page one and that never changed. My feelings regarding one of the Hall brothers remain complicated. More to come on this in a bit. On a side note, I'm delighted that Such a Rush is Ms. Echols' hardcover debut. It's a meticulously designed book, a pleasure to hold in my hands as I stayed up way
OH GOD I LOVED THIS BOOK. (sorry) I've read it three times already, and I feel 100% validated to see that you liked it too.
ReplyDeleteLol. No apologies necessary. I'm still sort of grinning over how much I enjoyed it. So glad it's not long before the next one's out!
