Technically good but I hated the main POV character with a passion. To make a comparison to the author's other series, Maledicte was a murderous psycho, but she was likable. Charismatic. Sylvie waffled between "I'm a monster" guilt and "but that means I'm a strong woman!" sociopathy. Do not want.If this had been a normal book, I'd have put it down by page 50 and taken it to the used bookstore to recoup some cost.As it was on my Kindle, though, I trudged through. It took forever and I won't be bothering with any other books in the series. I couldn't care less about the main character and the one character that had promise was killed off. Hate when that happens.....
I still don't like Sylvie but I might actually read book 2 now! I've up my rating to 4*'s
This book is like jumping into the 3rd book of any UF series, say Kate Daniels or Mercy Thompson, yet it is the first book. There is a whole background history of people dying on her watch in her P.I. business. That would be OK if there weren't new character after new character introduced and a new background story is told. It is like playing catch up the whole way through the book. No kidding, at one new story and character I noted that it was 68% into the book! It destroyed any interest in the
Sin and Shadows by Lyn Benedict2 to 2.5 stars.I would give this book more stars for writing style which is very good and some interesting ideas, but the ending pretty much ruined any chance I was going to continue the series. **Spoilers from this point in the review**Sylvie Lightner is a paranormal PI with a ton of baggage and she is about to close up shop when the book opens. Some reviewers complained that because this backstory is apparent but not explained and that the story feels like book 2
A light paranormal investigations read. For all lovers of paranormal cityscapes.The ending was rather overdosed on epic. Basically, this all lead to a battle-ish scene of about 15 pages. The depressed god of love premise was a bit too washed out. Basically, some Prozak and timely psychotherapy could have solved the issues of this whole book.The rest of the book was ok, though.Q: ...

An unlicensed PI who deals with paranormal cases, Silvie has given up and is closing down her detective agency when a client walks in and insists that she take his case. Silvie has no intention of taking the case, losing a partner has broken her spirit, but she soon finds that it's pretty much impossible to say no to the god who is searching for his lost lover.There were things that I liked about the book, the whole thing with the human cop who became the god of justice and his companions who
