Great return to quality urban fantasy,

This review is from: Darkling (Sisters of the Moon 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
The D'Artigo sisters, Camille, Delilah and Menoly, are half-human, half-Faerie operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency and each have a book in this series. This one involes disappering humans turning up as newly born vampires and is thus Menolly's (an acrobat turned vampire) story. The Delilah book (Changeling) was weak after a strong start in the Camille story (Witchling). This is much better and possibly the best of all 3.
The idea of Menolly dealing with fears and going out to confront her sadist sire Dredge for turning humans into vampires felt very real in terms of the emotional impact. I see Menolly as the most 'outside' of the 3 sisters - the others are born with their powers, Menolly's have been forced upon her, and this is a satisfying book in terms of the way that Menolly starts to move forward, creating new, intimate relationships as well as looking at her existing family ones. I also enjoy that these stories don't hesitate to deal with differing sexualities - one sister is in a relationship with a human, one in a relationship with 2 different men (and a dragon!) and one with women and men. I look forward to No 4 in the series.

I couldn't wait to read this being from a vamps point, I thought it would be more action and blood, but sadly its kind of slow.
I will keep reading all the other world books but this is not the best!!

Otherworld #3,
By Detra Fitch - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Darkling (Sisters of the Moon 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
The D'Artigo sisters, Camille, Delilah, and Menolly, are half-Fae, half-human operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency (O.I.A.) Camille is a Witch. Delilah is a Changeling Death Maiden. Menolly is a Vampire who chooses to keep a strong grip on her ethics. Though she is a predator, Menolly never harms the innocent and is actively helping to recruit other vampires to pledge the same.
When humans begin to go missing, then turn up as newly born vampires, it is up to the D'Artigo sisters and their battle weary friends to pull themselves together and confront the newest emerging threats. The one responsible for the newly risen is Dredge. Dredge is known as the scourge of the land. It was Dredge who tortured, and worse, to Menolly before turning her into a night walker. Menolly lives (no pun intended) for the night she finally catches and stakes the vile monster. Good news is that the elfin queen has hired a mercenary bounty hunter, Rozurial "Roz", to help them. Roz is not just another merc though; he is an incubus who, at the young age of seven, saw Dredge slaughter his family. There is no doubt that Roz will do anything and everything within his power to help them defeat Dredge. Bad news is that Dredge has kidnapped a human female friend of the sisters'. Unless they can locate her - FAST - Menolly knows exactly what her evil sire will do. ***** Do not believe this story is just for fans of the undead and Fae. There are references and appearances to Merlin, Morgan LeFay, Grandmother Coyote (one of the Hags of Fate), Demonkin, and so much much more. There is something for everyone's taste. Be warned there are one or two short love scenes and not all are with opposite genders. Yet I stress that these are short and not too graphic for those readers who are too phobic on the subject. The story is non-stop action and has deep, dark plots that kept me up reading long past my bed time. Here be Dark Fantasy with a unique twist. YES! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

the softer side of the vampire,
By Neker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Darkling (Sisters of the Moon 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
So it's here we learn about Menolly. If you haven't been keeping track I suggest you start with the first two books in this series. I liked this one mostly because of the action. Menolly is brought in by Chase to solve the murder of four vampire victims found in a local movie theater. Before they can figure out whose the cause, more bodies show up on a daily basis. If your in it this series for the romance, I think you would be disappointed. Even though Menolly gets over her "touching" problem, she doesn't FALL in love with anyone. Not like her sisters have in the previous novels. It's strickly let's-get-the-bad-guys. Rest assured fans, there will be a fourth novel. Apparently Galenorn is starting back to the first sister in her fourth novel. I'm thinking-rotation?

Third D'Artigo Sister Fails to Impress,
By Britt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Darkling (Sisters of the Moon 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
I struggled with this third entry in the story of the D'Artigo sisters that focuses on Menolly, the youngest sibling. The previous two books, Witchling (The Sisters of the Moon, Book 1)and Changeling (The Sisters of the Moon, Book 2), both did a better job of drawing me into the minds and stories of their characters, the older D'Artigo sisters Camille and Delilah.
The story this time focused on the escalation of the battle between the sisters and the demon Shadow Wing with the Earth invasion of the Elwing Blood Clan. Headed by Menolly's sire, Dredge, the clan proceeds to nab unsuspecting humans, creating a human/Fae crisis as people start to disappear. The stakes are raised when a close friend is taken. With the help of previous characters, like Morio the fox demon and Chase Johnson, plus the addition of the incubus demon, Roz, the sisters scour the city for new, blood-crazed vampires. Ultimately, after another visit to the Otherworld, the story culminates with Menolly battling her inner demons and eventually her sadistic sire. Fair warning, a few random sexual encounters popped up that left me scratching my head. In the previous books, Galenorn did a nice job of weaving in these encounters. However, these parts of the story felt out of context and distracting. Perhaps it had something to do with Menolly's much darker and more painful past, versus her relatively innocent sisters. In spite of my disappointment, I'm still happy overall with series and looking forward to the fourth book. |
