I’ve read the first two in M.L.N. Hanover’s Black Sun’s Daughter series, and couldn’t say “no” when the opportunity came up to check out the next two…drey’s thoughts:I know I wasn’t too enthused about the first book in this series – Unclean Spirits left a lot of things hanging, and I’m just not a fan of that… But I did pick up Darker Angels and that wasn’t too bad, so I thought I’d give the next two books a whirl. And Vicious Grace did not disappoint.Jayné does a lot of growing up here. Sure, she had to do some when she inherited her uncle Eric’s business – and some of his associates. But now, she’s coming to the realization that her uncle might not have been the person she thought he was. AND she’s finding out that her boyfriend’s ex-wife isn’t horrible to hang out with. More than that though, Jayné is realizing that sometimes people can’t help being who they are, and if that means letting them go then that’s ok. Not bad for a twenty-four-year-old, huh?There’s a bunch of angst here – mostly of the I-don’t-know-what-I’m-doing-and-I-don’t-want-my-friends-to-get-hurt variety, but also some of the does-he-still-love-me stuff. I don’t mind the former, but I don’t care for the latter – not even for freshly-minted demon-destroyers. Call me cold, but angst and I don’t get along very well…I want to see more of Jayné’s growth. And I want to find out where M.L.N. Hanover’s going with Jayné’s revelation at the end of Vicious Grace. So Killing Rites, here I come… If you haven’t tried this series, start with Unclean Spirits for the background.drey’s rating: Pick it up!
