Hmm
I feel a little let down by this but for me, this author is hit and miss. Some I love, some I don't. This is definitely of the latter. The style was a little strange for me in the first part, like it was told in short before expanding into a fuller story after the first call out of the FBI.
Oh, well, on to another book I go.

Absolutely beautiful artistic renditions throughout. Amazing soundtrack. Great story. Being from the same folks who brought us Your Name, I had very high hopes. I wasn't disappointed, but there were a couple of elements present that I didn't think added much and maybe even detracted a bit, which is why I stopped short of offering a full TEN rating. Still remains a wonderful work that should be checked out.

I'm not going to put a full review up on my blog for this little book, which is too short to even be called a novella. This is a lovely character study story about a very troubled Japanese chef. Gently written and filled with humor, it is also quite sad. I don't recall which blog I found reference to these "Red Circle Mini" books, but thanks to whomever it was! Delightful!

3.5 stars.
For quite a short story it kept me entertained. I liked the romance and the continuous action throughout.
This was only my second foray into banshee's, though in Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamers series they aren't described as such, and I enjoyed it. The storyline was intriguing and kept me guessing who was behind the murder.
I look forward to continuing the series at some point in the future.

In a Dark Wood I'm a huge fan of Josh Lanyon and whether it's a long story or a short one he always manages to draw you in. This was no different, though I wasn't expecting it to be so creepy.
I really like both Luke and Tim and can't wait to see what happens next with these two.
