drey's thoughts:
I've heard quite a few good things about Lilith Saintcrow's Jill Kismet series, so I thought I'd pick it up since it was on sale... And it definitely kept my interest. Jill is a character with a past that reflects in the decisions she makes. Which is just another way of saying she's strong and independent, yet vulnerable, and doesn't brook anything from anyone. AND she comes with a mouthful (and more!) of sass. Just the way I like 'em. *grin*
The action here moves along crisply, and some of the scenes are really well-described. I could see the happenings in my head as I inhale the words on the page. Lilith is a new-to-me author, so I don't know how this compares to her other works, but I really enjoyed Night Shift, and have Hunter's Prayer on my nook...
