These books have a definite Anita Blakeness but seeing as I love Anita Blake I can hardly complain. Unlike Anita Blake there are no almost constant sexfests (phew). There's lots of action, romance and angst. She's not a kick ass fighter but a kick ass witch. There's the love triangle (I'm never a fan of those). This book differed in that it was no longer a first person book but was split between multiple points. First person for Persephone and third for the other characters I found it a bit distracting but it was good to read others point of view, even when these where the most annoying points. There's a balance with these books in that normal life with Beverly and nana are her anchor points alongside the paranormal world she's been thrust upon it keeps her grounded. This book kinda breaks away from the previous book in that she no longer has johnny to rely on which I don't like but I can understand and she worked the change, which is totally out of character, into the plot perfectly. I really don't like it but hey ho! The great multi-tasker... Persephone Alcmedi. She is use to dealing with all sorts of issues, usually at the same time. But this time around, it is vampire Menessos, bringing bad news that he is being hunted down and the vampire council is behind it and he needs her help.Good Read! The triangle/bond between Persephone, Johnny and Menessos is quite delicious. I like both Johnny and Menessos, but loved seeing more of Seph and Menessos. Can't wait to read the next book to see where things are going go. The different POVs in this installment were a nice change. Wicked Circle is full of magic and action. Persephone is a fantastic heroine. She is constantly in danger, but manages one way or another to hold her own. This wasn't my favorite in the series, but still an enjoyable read and worth checking out.
What do You think about Wicked Circle (2011)?
Had a harder time with this one - definitely preferred the other books in the series.
