Search - Witchling (Otherworld, Bk 1)

This was one of the worst books Ive ever read. The main character narrates the story and she really needs to get over herself. The actual plot of the book is hidden behind the main characters ego. There are really no redeeming qualities to this book. I will not read another by this author. It gets a 1 out of 5.

I'm not sure how much I really liked this book. The premise is good, and the author has come up with a world that isn't a cookie cutter of a lot of fantasy novels out there today. That being said, while I'm certainly no prude, I found the obscenities and some of the language rather crass. At times I didn't feel like I was reading about adults trying to save the world from demons, but watching some cheap high school show where the kids curse to bring some sense of shock value to the viewer. It was just out of sync with the slick, flashy style of the characters the author was trying hard to instill.
And the product placement was out of bounds. There were more name brands dropped than necessary. I watch TV for advertisements, thanks anyway! Between the brands for cars, clothing, cosmetics and others, I'm surprised there was time for demon fighting at all. A little less name dropping and the author and proofreaders may have noticed the errors of having Camille living on different floors of the house throughout the book.
The characters were okay, but it took some time to warm up to them. The main character is WAY too full of herself, and while I'm hoping it's because she's half Faerie and that's just how they are, it was real turn off after a while.
There are two other books in this series, and while I may read them to see how it all ends up, I won't be waiting in line to waste a credit, either.

I actually read the 2nd in this series, Changeling, first and really enjoyed it so went back to the 1st book, Witchling. I think the 2nd book was better. The author must be improving on each book. The books are about 3 sisters that are 1/2 human & 1/2 faerie but are also one witch, one vampire, and one werecat. This book focuses more on the witch sister, the 2nd book focuses more on the werecat sister. Im supposing the 3rd book, Darkling, will focus on the vampire sister. Good book.

TERRIFIC read... Captivating and detailed takes the read into a whole different dimension wonderful escape for a reader to relax.

This book has a good story and lots of paranormal but I would not call it a romance. I got the whole series and made it thru the first two. The books are good if you like urban fantasy there is no love story with great sex. It is more adventure with a hint of sex. If you are a die hard J.R. Ward fan you maybe disappointed with this read. I would recommend this if you are not looking for love, hot sex or happy ever after.

I agree with a previous review that the premise was interesting; this falls into the category of books whose concept and storyline I like but which is so poorly written that I can't read it for very long before I'm either laughing AT the book or wishing someone else had written it. If you want a well written book in this general genre, try Patricia Briggs -- her work is much better written and still features a female heroine.
