Redemption Alley

Thank you Lilith Saintcrow for creating a world filled with your own creatures! First we had hellbreeds, which are still her main badie, and then we were introduced to the sorrows in book two. Now we also learn about scurf, an infectious creature that bites to make more of its kind and infests cities. Though there is some loose indication these are her version  of vampires, she has an entirely new way to display them. I'm also thankful for the fact that every Kismet book so far has had adrenaline filled action. Kismet lives one hell of a life, there is no fear of growing bored when reading these books. She takes quite the beating in each one as well, she better hope she never loses her hellbreed scar, I don't know how the series would continue if she did. I was a little sad to see Saintcrow skip her writing around, leaving out details towards the end of the book, but I wonder if this was due to the graphic details she would have to expose her readers to. I'm also happy that the romance between Saul and Kismet is not dominating the plot. I hate when writers lose focus of their main ideas and add too much mushy gushy crap. So far every book has had some sort of huge earth shattering conflict. I'm interested to see if this continues in the rest of the series.
