I usually like it if a book drops me a bit into the deep end and lets me figure stuff out on my own as it goes along. But there is a difference between deliberately using this technique as a writing tool and an incoherent mess. This one leans much more toward the latter. It doesn't feel like it is deliberate. It feels chaotic and just not well-planned. More like a somewhat raw stream of consciousness than text written with structure and intent.
It makes heavy use of memory loss, not to create an intriguing mystery and deliberately reveal details of an intricate plot structure but as an excuse to make shit up as needed to move the narrative along.
It has all the hallmarks of the typical productive writing techniques many modern authors use to produce a ton of books within an incredibly short time frame. I still want to call it lazy writing techniques even though many of these authors are not lazy in this sense. They just prioritize quantity over quality in all ways but the cover.

There was too much shorthand and not enough explanation. I felt like it was later in the series than the first book.

WOW, What an excellent book one that had me rapidly reading! I loved the snarky Eden Hunter with her trash talking mouth against everyone. Once dead, she was brought back to life, signed a contract with a 2400 year old vampire to give him five souls a week, for five years AND she couldn't get off of his island but she was bound by the rain goddess to never kill anyone. Well, that went out the window when a werewolf broke down her door and tried to kill her! Up between a rock and a hard place, all she could do was go with her instincts when she was charged with killing her ex-boyfriend. I can't wait to read book two!… (más)
