Wonderful book. I have recommended this one to so many people. The entire concept makes me think although I can point out one major flaw. Most females can not happily live with each other before fights break out (at least in my experience) other than that one thing it was a perfect book. I hope to see more of this, maybe even a series in the future?

I was glad to see Kit getting back to normal in this one, or as normal as she could be after the horror of what happened to her in the last book.

I like a lot of things about this series but there's still something that's not quite there, and I'm hoping it makes an appearance in the next couple of books.

Off to start book 4!

I had so much trouble trying to connect with this book. I don't know if it's because I'd already read the Mercy Thompson series or because I didn't read the 0.5 book to get where it all started from but I couldn't get into this at all.

Christ, I am an emotional wreck right now after that ending. I had at least one tear running down my cheek continuously for a good 70 of the last pages of this book. Heartbreak on several counts, which I won't go into because they're spoilers.

This is a brilliant mature YA series!! Off to start the final book and it better have a good, happy ending!!!!

Encounter with the Devil is the third book in the Broken Halos series, and it continues right where book two left off. Hel and Eric have gone through the portal and are now in hell. Eric wants to stay as far away from his dad as he can, but it turns out they have no choice but to meet him, and a few others, along the way.

Such a great continuation of the story! I loved Hel's attitude with Lucifer, Beezlebub, Colt, and Leviathan, to name some. This girl takes no prisoners LOL I also loved how Eric stands back and doesn't try to prevent any of it happening. There is plenty of action and revelations in this book, but don't worry, you will still have more questions that haven't been answered yet.

As always, there were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted me. The world-building is very precise (especially with this book being based in one location), and the characters continue to delight and amuse. This IS part of a series though, and MUST be read after books one and two. However, it will also leave you NEEDING book four immediately, so fair warning!

I am loving this series and have no hesitation in highly recommending it.

Great story and plot (1 more)
Unique combination of emotion and science
Almost too close for comfort
The first book in one of my favourite trilogy's. I love this series and its ability to make short jumps in scientific advancement from where we are currently to the potential of what we might become. The scientific basis of this series brings up very modern issues regarding ethics regarding both human and non-human life. A series that makes you reflect on decisions you make as an individual and as a human existing on earth. Thought provoking, never shying away from 'taboo' subjects

Well, I was surprised!!
My first Jack Campbell book, and it won't be my last! I should probably have read the Lost Fleet series first as this is the start of the prequel series. This was fast paced, exciting and kept me interested enough over Christmas and New Year whilst the family watched all of the repeated movies! This follows Rob Geary and his fellow explorers, as they set up home on a new planet and all of the problems they have with a neighbouring star system.
I'll be keeping an eye out for the rest of the series!
