Ghost Medicine: An Ella Clah Novel por Aimee Thurlo
A lot of potential, not only in this book, but suffers from a lack in editing. Engaging characters, and a good plotline, I just have a real problem with dumb errors. Like "gravel from a fiberglass roof"... WTF??
I found White Thunder to be on the boring side. The plot isn't half bad, and the writing isn't too bad either, but it was slow and repetitive and not overly interesting. And there was even a tie-in to the title White Thunder (and arrowhead in the story and featured on the cover), but at the end of the book I don't believe, or certainly can't remember, if it had anything to do with the story other than bits being thrown in for no good reason.
Long story short, a few sitting I only managed a page or two before I was so unengaged that I had to put the book down. Ella Clah doesn't do much except drive all over the place most of the time while the clues to various crimes fall slowly, oh so slowly, into place. The whole "white man doesn’t understand Navajo culture" wears thin too. Yeah, I get it, but you didn't have to rephrase that talking point 1,000 times. Oh well, maybe the next Thurlo novel will be better...… (más)

Another good Lee Nez story, includes Diane Lopez, and a vampire gone mad, but driven there by a secret government agency.
I really like these books. The stories are original, the lead characters are understandable, and the baddies are really bad. Diane Lopez is not a fluffy, airhead woman TSTL, but a woman who thinks first, who is not afraid to ask questions and get info from Lee when she is in over her head. Lee Nez is a capable officer who tries to protect as many people as he can in dangerous situations. He may be a vampire but he has a heart, a conscience, and respects the old ways when he can.
