Heir of the Dog

"I was right. After reading the author note in the first book (the prequel to the trilogy) I thought this might be better than Dog with a Bone. I was right. The first left just enough interest to read this one, but if there wasn't a note saying it was an introduction to how Thierry got her start, I might not have read it. But I'm glad I got the second one. And I'm also glad I read the first to understand why she doesn't want to see Shaw so much.<br/><br/>I'm not usually a fan of fae books. Most don't interest me, but this does and I'll read the next book. One thing I'm really attracted to is the Huntsman. I love it when he pops up in various novels I read. The hunt was very interesting and I was tearing through the pages to find out how it went. Love him and I'm excited to see where Ms. Edwards takes him in these books (and yes, I realize he isn't a main character).<br/><br/>Between the Raven and Shaw, I'm hoping there isn't a love triangle. I don't care for them. At all. Time will tell, as they say, but I'm really hoping against it. I'm interested where the stuff in the fae realm plays out and what Raven's role as far as Thierry goes. He's a sneaky bastard."

"<strong>a WtF?!? Beginning, then good</strong><br/><br/>Seriously. I spent DAYS reading and re-reading the first chapter or so going WtF? I'm still looking to find a between-the-books novella to explain WtF happened between the end of book 1 and where this picks up. <br/><br/>Once you pull yourself out of that WtF moment(s), the rest of the book is pretty good. A few typos, but otherwise well edited and none that popped me out of the story again. Still enjoying our lead character and still interested in finding out what happens next--if she doesn't skip over huge honking chunks of it as she did between books 1 & 2. <br/><br/>And yes, that's gonna peeve me about the series until the end of time. Going from a fresh new relationship and heading off to the other side of the US to broken up and back home with nothing covering that time but a few short passages, as if referring to a (nonexistent, I think) story? Sucky transition. Otherwise, this would be a five star."
