perid0t 's review for:
Soul Storm
by D.N. Erikson
I just finished this book and I LOVED IT!
I loved everything about it!
I loved that the author set the setting in a more exotic place, we see rain, clouds and packed city streets all the time in urban fantasy, but a city running alongside a jungle with monkeys running around? You don't see that often.
I love that the way the reaper worked was unique and interesting.
I loved that this island was made up, yet still counted as american soil so you had familiar aspects of it, like the FBI coming around and sniffing.
I loved that the MC was female, but her snark wasn't over the top. I loved that there was MULTIPLE attractive male characters and there wasn't any flirting. I LIKE my female MC's because they have more flirting and romantic elements than male MC's but this? This was like "oh my baser instincts" found them attractive but she's there rolling her eyes and being suspicious as hell over why they're in her life all of a sudden. Like, there was 0 romance, 0 tension, but a small mention of being physically attracted to the person which means.. over the books.. there COULD be a romance element, or OR it could not happen because, GOSH! We DO go for longer periods of time in our life without romance.
I loved that the MC wasn't overpowered like hell, but wasn't weak and defenseless.
I loved that she had snark and lip BUT IT GOT HER IN TROUBLE!
I loved that it wasn't just HER who saved the day every time and was the smart one but GOSH SOMEONE ELSE CAME WITH A SOLUTION TOO!
I loved the "vampire warlord" who, QUITE RIGHT, after over 2k years WASN'T SMITTEN WITH THIS IMMATURE 26 YEAR OLD TWAT! I loved that he was annoyed at her, that he seemed to really dislike her but she was an investment that he needed to control and make use of.
I guessed who the 2nd reaper was pretty darn quickly, (and surprised that she didnt), but I also loved that I had 0 clue how the book was going to end. She was up SHIT CREEK and I really saw no way out for her than her being in a really bad spot.
I loved that she wasn't a good character, she wasn't totally moral and fuck. But she wasn't evil either. She was grey. She had crossed lines and she'd do it again but she wasn't entirely happy with it. Like she has a morally good heart, but life doesn't work like that so she does shady shit, break some rules and associates with shady people.
I love these other UF heroines to bits, but it gets tiresome of all of this "I'M MORALLY RIGHT AND I WILL BEND OVER BACKWARD AND BREAK EVERY UNIVERSAL LAW EVER TO NOT DO WRONG EVER!" Life doesn't work like that. You can't escape without smudging up your soul a little bit when you're in that line of business.
I loved this.
And I cannot wait to read the next book.
