Jill is really damaged, which makes her more real than a lot of other female characters. I was depressed while reading this book. It's full and I mean really full of blood, gore and her issues with pretty much everything in her life. Nevertheless, I liked it. The past came back in this second book with a vengeance. Jill had to remember her life before Mikhail found her and before she became a hunter. I liked the story, I liked the ending and, oh, I liked Saul very much. The thing is: Saul is just there. Always. He doesn't take the spotlight from Jill, he doesn't create situations where their relationship becomes more important than what is happening around them. Never before have I really really wanted to like a main character, and yet struggled so much to do so. I spent most of the book wanting to say "Look, Jill, I understand that you've had a really difficult life....but why do you have to be such an ever-loving Bitch all the time???" Optimistically , I am hoping that this aspect of her character improves with time.Secondly....More Perry! Yeah, sure he's an evil demonic hellbreed....but he's INTERESTING!So in summary, I humbly ask whatever god is in charge of meaningless literary prayers....Please, Book #3: Less bitchiness...more Perry. Thank you.(Dropped my optimistic 3 Star Rating down to 2 Stars after reading book #3, only to find that NONE of my hopes were even close to realized)
What do You think about Hunter's Prayer (2008)?
Lilith likes to tease with only part of Jill's history. Makes you want to start the next book ASAP!

Trashy, but my kind of trashy, and only occasionally belabored "oh was that an obvious clue" crap.
