Journal Entry 1 by cheesygiraffe from Florence, Alabama USA on Monday, April 23, 2007

The first in an engrossing new series about conflict in the magic modern world—as told by the half-human, half-Faerie D'Artigo sisters—the latest from Galenorn (One Hex of a Wedding) is a whimsical reminder of fantasy's importance in everyday life. Narrator Camille is a good witch with unpredictable powers who runs a Seattle bookstore while working as an Otherworld Intelligence operative, sent Earthside to keep an eye on things. When an operative from the Wayfaerer, a human/Faerie hangout, is killed, Camille springs into action with her sisters Delilah, a werecat, and Menolly, a freshly minted vampire. Tracing the murder back to evil demon leader Shadow Wing, the sisters find evidence of a far-reaching plot, but the Otherworld Intelligence Agency offers no help, stifled by bureaucratic red tape and a nasty Otherworld battle. Galenorn's gallery of rogues is an imaginative delight, each species and personality carefully crafted. Though the plot can drag, effusive characters and pretty writing ("I whispered, and the stars heard me from behind their cloud cover and answered") will lead readers through to the much-anticipated final battle.

Camille is half human and half Faerie. She's a witch whose spells backfire. She has 2 sisters and one is a werecat and the other is a vampire. They work for the OIA, Otherworld Intelligence Agency. They use to live in Otherworld but now they are living on Earth. Demons have come to Earth and they aren't getting help from OIA or anybody from the Otherworld. They need to stop them before they try to get the seals and one bad ass demon tries to join Otherworld, Earth and the Subterranean realms together.
Camille is also a very sexual being and has one Svartan lover. She also takes on another lover, who is a kitsune, a fox demon. At least, he's a earth bound demon who is on their side. Plus throw a dragon in the mix. Lots of fun.

I havenb't gotten around to journaling that I've read this, but I have. It was a cool story. I really like the characters. I definately will be looking for other books in this series. Thanks a bunch for sharing it with me.

This is now on it's way to PepperVL as shre chose it from the Paranormal VBB.

Arrived today (or technically yesterday, actually). Thanks so much! 

Journal Entry 6 by PepperVL from Cincinnati, Ohio USA on Friday, October 12, 2007

When I was about a quarter of the way through the book, I decided that though I was interested enough to finish, I probably wouldn't be picking up the other books in this series. However, it grew on me as the story continued, and now I would like to read the other two books, just to see what happens.

Personally, I liked the story and the characters, but I thought that the sex bits were overdone and mostly unnecessary. If you're going to have Unresolved Sexual Tension... there shouldn't be sex. That's what resolves it. ;)

However, other than that I did like the book a lot. I think the gargoyle was the turning point for me. I want one! *giggles*
