“Another great entry in the "Prey" series from John Sandford, Sliken Prey has a lot going for it. Virgil Flowers and Kidd are both here in cameos, plus the usual cast of misfits are present. Also we are introduced to a new and formidable opponent for Davenport. These books are always fun.”

“This is book 5 in a series but it is only the first book I've ever read by this author. That being said, I was able to enjoy this story without having read the previous books. The book description intrigued me. It's such an interesting idea - reinventing baddies or shady types from classic fairy tales and making them romantic heroes and pairing them with modern women. The hero in this story is Captain Hook from the classic Peter Pan story. The author paints him as a flawed but deeply sympathetic & romantic figure. The modern woman fate (or in this case a fairy) pairs him with is supposedly the reincarnated version of his lost love. I always think "reincarnated love" stories are tricky. However, I liked how the author respected the memory of the lost love but drove home the point that Trishelle is her own woman and should be valued and loved for who she is, rather than who she may have been at one time. I liked that Hook & Trish had a similar tragic experience that helped them connect and bond. I found the ending very satisfying but I would have loved for Pan to have gotten punished. I am looking forward to reading the previous books as well as any more the author might write in this series. ”

“First - I just want to say that the artwork on the cover depicts exactly what I have in mind for the hero of this book & head vamp Nick St. George looking like. This is also the first book by this author that I've read. I thought there were some funny moments in this book, which I appreciated. I wasn't sure if the humor was completely intentional or if that's just how the quirkiness of the characters came off to me. The heroine in this story, Daniella Delaney, is unaware that she just opened shop (cupcake) in a town primarily made up of vampires. The vampires are pretty much peaceful and don't go around attacking & killing humans. It just freaks everybody out, especially Nick, that her cupcake shop could draw more humans and some unwanted attention. They also find it a little unnerving that she can't be mentally compelled by any vampire. I found it particularly amusing when Nick would be almost mesmorized by his attraction to Daniella at unusual times, and how this would alternately arouse and dumbfound her.The only thing that really took me by surprise with this book, was that I expected more conflict regarding the heroine's brother - but I was totally fine without it. It just seemed at one point that the brother angle was leading somewhere sinister. I look forward to reading more by this author and more books in this series.”
