You get what you expect from this series: a lot of kickass urban fantasy action (and some steamy werewolves). I don't have any criticisms. The only miss for me was the heavy reliance on the hellbreed aspect. I'm not especially disposed to demon stories. Lilith Saintcrow does a really fine job with it, though, and weaves thay into plots in interesting ways.

Sometimes you need some butt-kicking urban fantasy to cleanse the palette. You could do much worse than Jill Kismet. There's just enough worldbuilding to get the sense of a larger picture, but you're never too far from a bloody fight to get bogged down.

I'm reading through the Omnibus version of the series and ticking these off one-by-one. They're lovely little murdery bedtime stories.

So witch with magik triggered by sex, fine, I like it. Se likes a vampire, even better. Apocalyptic, dystopic world, with paranormals and vampires running the shots, known in the world, love it.

I liked Selene, I found the story compelling. After chapter 2 I couldn't stop until chapter 9. And that is a good pause. It's about the middle of the book, the story unties a little, and it really closes a chapter. You can stop, get some sleep, or just take a break from the computer. But as I said it is just a pause in the rhythm of the book. After I started to read again it was hard to stop.

Then Selene changes to a vampire and all hell breaks loose. We get action scene, after action scene, with a little love scene in between.

And to then a good ending and a lousy prologue. I hate prologues were I don't get to know what happened with the main character. And I believe the name on the top of the screen was Selene, not Nikolai...

now the bad... I didn't get it, was this world a dystopic futuristic earth or some totally fantastic world? In either case, saying the live was a Twilight Zone is a bad choice of a reference... I only noticed this on, and only in one place, but I stared at it for a couple of minutes...

lots of cliches in the story, we have the shifters vs vampires, the mates at first sight, the Stockholm syndrome, and the nice shaman plot twist.
not very original, but interesting enough for me to want to see more of this world.
