Amber's Reading Pile

Last week I finished Donna Tartt's The Secret History, hands down one of the best books I've read in recent years - maybe ever. After getting so emotionally engaged and obsessed with a book, I like to switch genres completely for my next read - like a palate cleanser. So I rummaged through my Kindle (I don't even want to think about the number of unread books on there) until I stumbled across Laken Cane's Blood and Bite, book two of the Rune Alexander series. I read the first book, Shiv Crew, a little while back, and although I thought there were some flaws, I did enjoy it overall. This series appeals to me in the same way LM Pruitt's Jude Magdalyn series does - it's angsty, high drama that doesn't tread the same paths as other urban fantasy series. Yeah, it gets a bit ridiculous in places (seriously, Rune, you can't mock someone for being called Owen Five if you're running around with twins called Levi and Demin), but it's got a fresh feel and is going in cool, unexpected directions. And in a lot of ways, it has the factors that first drew me to urban fantasy - it's a bit grim, very action-packed, and the monsters really are monstrous. Bonus points - Rune seems to learn from her mistakes and faces consequences for her actions!

I'm almost done with Blood and Bite, and have already picked up book three, Strange Trouble. It's been exactly the right reading material post-The Secret History. Now I just need to decide whether I'm plunging straight into book three or switching genres again...
