Is Skinwalker good?

Great story and strong characters makes this a great series. You should read this.

Why is Skinwalker recommended?

Both Jane Yellowrock and Anita Blake is strong and powerful female characters and both are vampire hunters. However, the Jane Yellowrock books manages to keep the books at a high level and true to the original theme during the series while the Anita Blake books drops of and shift even more into erotic literature than they already started with.

This last titbit is officially denied by the government of Ancelstierre and disbelieved by most of their inhabitants. Sabriel is in her last year at Wyverley College, a private school in Ancelstierre that lies close to the wall to the Old Kingdom. An undead creature enters their dormitory. Sabriel notices it is attempting to communicate, its a messanger from her father, the Abhorsen, who is past the Seventh Gate of Death. He tells her that she is to take on the role of Abhorsen and defeat Kerrigor, a powerful necromancer, who is attempting to make his way back into Life. The unded messanger gives her the Abhorsen's bandelier of bells, the Abhorsen's sword and a map of the Old Kingdom. Sabriel leaves Wyverley College and travel into the mytical land of the Old Kongdom.

Is Sabriel good?

Sabriel is a really great book and the rest of the Abhorsen books are just as good.

Why is Sabriel recommended?

Anita Blake is also a necromancer and a strong female lead character. But tat is all they have in common. Abhorsen is a good book for younger readers too but Anita Blake Vampire Hunter is absolutely not recommended for younger readers. They start of good, but after a while they go from the paranormal genre to pure erotic shit books.

Is A Kiss of Shadows good?

A Kiss of Shadows is a fine paranormal romance book, the first in the Meredith Gentry series. It could have bean a really good book, but for me it was to much focus on all the sex. It got kind of boring, and I found my self wanting to skip huge chunks of the book. I do not mind explicit sex descriptions in books, but it should not take up to much of the space.

Why is A Kiss of Shadows recommended?

The Meredith Gentry books also has lots of filthy sex just as the Anita Blake books just gets more and more of during the series.

Is Kitty and the Midnight Hour good?
