I d never read anything quite like this before and have found the combination of fantasy and adult themes to be exciting captivating and highly entertaining I finished reading it last night and didn t go to sleep until I d purchased the next book Never and loaded it onto my Kindle 408 I m feeling a bit torn about this book I think the author has a fantastic imagination and developed some really fun ideas in this compelling story There s a good mix of action mystery romance suspence and snarky humor And the author uses great imagery so I found it very easy to imagine that I was right there in the story living out the events along with our bounty hunter faerie princess heroine Cy. However I found Cy a bit frustrating at times occasionally even bordering on too stupid to live She s sufficiently well developed that in most cases I could understand why she made the decisions she made with one glaring exception that seemed inexplicably ridiculous given her background but formed a major plot point I hate when a plot relies on characters making really bad decisions. I also thought some of the secondary characters had the potential to be really interesting but we don t get to know any of them all that well even the past and present love interests Because we only see the story from Cy s point of view all we learn about the other characters is what she shares with us from her limited knowledge and filtered through her frustrations and insecurities I really wanted to know about Anthony and Sven and I would have enjoyed learning about some of the other characters too Again kudos to the author for at least creating characters that I wanted to learn about She s got a knack for writing hooks and piquing your interest. By reading this bundle of episodes 1 6 you re getting a story that wraps up several plot points while leaving plenty of questions still to be resolved in future episodes I felt that the ending was adequate but not entirely satisfying just because the final combat wrapped up a little too quickly and too much of what happened was beyond Cy s awareness and therefore we the readers don t learn exactly what happened. Note that I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review 408 Let s start with things I didn t like I didn t like how the relationship with Sven just exists 3 weeks later what There wasn t really any relationship building I like Cy as a character I like how she is a hero that is rough around the edges etc but I think she needs a little character development It is like there are parts of her life that are referenced that we are just supposed to know I still don t understand why her dad was murdered for example All in all a good read and I want to know what happens to the characters in the next book 408 Kindle UnlimitedThis is a well written erudite novel with defined characters and a strong heroine It s of the private investigator ilk and has all the essentials murder vampires fae and some good dancing and clubbing as in nightclub rather than merely violence The story is strong with plenty of detail maybe too much in some places This is probably up there for fans of Kim Harrison and Karen Chance 408 This is my first book s by Author Erica Reeder and certainly not my last and it truly is phenomenal I absolutely loved it Would I recommend this book to anyone Absolutely Everyone over the age of 18 due to sex and violence Nothing I would change about this book She s got this Awesome job Miss Reeder If you like books with kick ass heroines bad boys and the fate of an entire race hanging in the balance oh did I mention fairies and vampires too then check out the Violet Chaser series The wit will keep you laughing The mystery will keep you guessing And the attitude will keep you coming back for I love fairies and vamps and Miss Reeder has blended the two flawlessly Cybil Cy Vanguard fairy princess born with no wings and bounty hunter gets an usual request for a murder case of a young fairy girl that has been missing for a long time only to show up as a corpse Running into Sven at a bar flips her entire world upside down 408
