It doesn't work that way in other genres usually. The mention of her not being a usual Urban Fantasy heroine is interesting to me. I'm very curious about her staff. I like the grittiness of the covers as well as the thought of the setting in New Orleans. I really enjoyed reading your reviews :D Jaclyn @ <a href="http://jcbookhaven.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">JC's Book Haven</a>.JezzebellJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810958025835878964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67955842291652941.post-76640801602782818532013-05-07T21:14:48.688-07:002013-05-07T21:14:48.688-07:00I know, I wanted to like it more, but I couldn'...I know, I wanted to like it more, but I couldn't help but be bored often.

I kind of expect the world building to slow the pace down in book one of a new series, so maybe that's why I didn't feel it...plus I was kind of gaga over the setting..LOL. I am stoked for book three. Great review!
