My Thoughts:
I really love this series! And sure I had my doubts, I had fallen in love with the books and now they ended and we got a spin off. I was unsure, but I did not need to be. It was just as good.
It took me a while to warm up to Meg in the previous series, but here I liked everything at once. But then I was settled in this world and it was like meeting new friends. It also helped that I listened to it and I have said it before, everything is better in audio ;)
Characters:
Vicky was unsure, had anxieties, was not comfortable around men and just wanted to build a new life. Oh that scum of an ex husband, I wanted him to be eaten!! She was a kind person who deserved better. And now she had renovated a dump settled on her in the divorce and wanted some guests at her resort. But oh uh, instead she has a murder on her hand. Fingers pointing to her and luckily, her being kind and all, she has help.
The bookseller in town is a good friend. The woman at the lodging house is also a nice friend (and what on earth was up with some things there?). And most of all The Others. Aggie from the crow guard was a sweetie. Who wouldn't like the crows and their obsession with shinies. And there are Others too. I do love the Others, I want them to eat all bad people.
Story:
Ugh, humans! We really are monkeys who should have stayed in the trees. They are so stupid. Like omg, The Others, The Others! They killed and destroyed cities in the previous book. One think humans should have learned a lesson but noooo. They should all be eaten.
Oh what a ride! I did not want to stop listening! It is good when I take every chance I can to listen, even stay up late to listen.
Conclusion:
A great stand alone in this amazing world. More now please.
Narrator
She was great too. I liked all her voices and accents. Her spooky voice was indeed creepy.
BlurB:
Human laws do not apply in the territory controlled by the Others--vampires, shapeshifters, and paranormal beings even more deadly. And this is a fact that humans should never, ever forget . . .
After her divorce, Vicki DeVine took over a rustic resort near Lake Silence--in a human town that is not human controlled. Towns like Vicki's have no distance from the Others, the dominant predators that rule most of the land and all of the water throughout the world. And when a place has no boundaries, you never really know what's out there watching you.
Vicki was hoping to find a new career and a new life. But when her lodger, Aggie Crowe--one of the shapeshifting Others--discovers a dead body, Vicki finds trouble instead. The detectives want to pin the man's death on her, despite the evidence that nothing human could have killed the victim. As Vicki and her friends search for answers, things get dangerous--and it'll take everything they have to stay alive.
