Author extraordinaire Jeri Smith-Ready set the urban fantasy bar high with the first book in her WVMP Radio series, Wicked Game. BAD TO THE BONE, however, continues right where Wicked Games excellence left off, propelling me once more into a engrossing world of vampires, mystery, memorable characters and relationship troubles.
BAD TO THE BONE contains an enviably colorful cast of characters that stand out due to their eccentricities and wonderfully unique quirks. In this installment we also get to see a deeper and necessarily darker side to Shane and Ciaras relationship. A relationship between two such fundamentally different peopleone a vampire, one a human; one neurotically methodical though determinedly devoted, the other more of a think now do later girlis bound to have its problems. What will become of Shane and Ciara? I like that BAD TO THE BONE strews some doubts and insecurities into their relationship: this makes it much more realistic and beloved to me than a perfect relationship.
Jeri Smith-Ready has a way of constructing a world thats so expansive, yet so complete, that you can either miss it all from being completely absorbed in it, or be in awe of her writing talents. It seems to me that the books in this series usually take a while before finally getting into the action and the meat; that is because the beginning of the book is usually setting up the unusual circumstances that will be the grounds of conflict. While the main plot arc may be oftentimes buried in other, more interesting, albeit side-plots, I never felt confused or frustrated. I always just wanted more, more, more!
WVMP Radio is, in my opinion, one of the best urban fantasy series out there. Endearingly complex characters, a fully realized world, and the potential for future stories make sure that Ill be glued to this series for hopefully years to come. Dont miss out if you think this might be your type of book!
