La Noche de la Bruja Muerta

Excellent conceptualization, decent characters, but plotting/pacing was . . . meh. I will definitely read more, because it had all the right elements and overall it was a good read. Just took too long (because of mediocre pacing, I think) for this kind of book.

This is my 3rd attempt into the vampire/paranormal romance genre. I tried 2 other books (Magic Bites, Guilty Pleasures), they were also disappointments. But this one takes the cake!

I could barely stand 30 minutes of listening this. This is the most over the top of everything I hated about the genre. Kick ass heroine, who is better then everyone else, looks down on “inferior” men trying to hit on her. There is LOTs of name calling, as if just mentioning the word “vampire” you're instantly in love with the story, so, lets exaggerate it.

This also suffers from bad writing, lack of empathy for protagonist, black and white morality, etc.

Read 0:33/13:15 4%.

Kim Harrison introduces Rachel Morgan, witch, Ivy, her vampire partner, and Jenks, pixy and all-around loudmouth. Dark fantasy and romance all in one package. This first book in a series was interesting enough to pick up the second book. We'll see how it goes. Also available in Spanish with the title La noche del la bruja muerta.

Published in mass-market paperback by HarperCollins.
