GRAVEYARDS, ROMANCE, AND A LITTLE BIT OF MORBID CURIOSITY
Review:
First of all—that cover, amirite? It looks amazing.
Now, into the meat of it…
From the second I met “Graverobber”, I was chewing at the bit to read more about him. He’s mysterious, dark, and sexy even when he’s all gnarled up. In my opinion, anyway. Lyra was sassy and full of spunk, which I found amusing. I liked reading more about the dynamic between her and the other people she “works” with, and certainly consider them to be an interesting bunch. I loved that she was a Siren, and how she dealt with the prejudices dealt to her because of it.
Ms. Hamm clearly has a vivid imagination. The world she has built in this series is fun and full of twists and turns. It’s the kind of place that you think about long after you put the book down. What kind of kooky enchanted objects would I buy if I had the opportunity? (Let’s be honest—all of them.)
It’s impossible to read a book in a series and not draw comparisons to previous books in the series. I enjoyed this book more than I did Silver Blood, but it wasn’t without its faults. I was a bit disappointed to see that there was still lots of background info-dumping, which my eyes have a bad habit of trying to skim over. The dialogue was snappy in some places, but a bit looser in others.
All in all, however, Red Blood is a good read!
Rating: ★★★★
