This is the second in what is supposed to be a trilogy (I think) and for a middle book it is very well done. Often the middle book will sag a little because it is neither the set-up nor the denouement (think The Two Towers). But enough changed in this one or progressed to make it well worthwhile.

Ok, I think I am done with this series. I just keep thinking that I am wasting time that could be used to read a really good book, and instead I am reading one that is just ok. I'm glad Grit and Alban finally hooked up. Quite a few unexpected twists at the end.

the most action pacted of the series yet. i cant wait to see what else this author has to offer. ive been hooked since her shaman series and cant get enough of her writing style and unique characters. the plot description on the back of the book is deceptive and paints a picture of an storyline that might be to predictable. c. e. murphy has twists and turns that keep you guessing through out the series. so dont be fooled by faulty descriptions of her books, decide for yourselves.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series thus far but I can't get past the similarities between this series and the "Gargoyles" TV series by Greg Weisman that I loved so much as a child. 
Goliath you dog- changing your name to Alban and leaving your cop for a lawyer?? The scandal!
On one hand, that makes this almost like an extension of what really was one of my favorite TV series EVER. On the other hand, the similarities really do bother me.
Can't figure out if this guy would be Malik or Janx though. Hmmm...

This book was not as good as the first one. I am no longer even sure that I need to read the third (and I think final?) book. I had a very hard time reading this. I just could not get into it and was blah about a lot of the story. Disappointing.

Hate. Hate. Hate. I can't even begin to tell you why I hate this book. I didn't quite hate the first book, but I do this one. The only reason I read it was because I was trapped for nearly 3 hours at the dealership waiting for a tire to be replaced.
I don't like the characters. I don't like the plot. I HATE the nickname "Grit" -- who wants to be called "dirt?"

House of Cards (Negotiator Trilogy/Old Races Universe #2) by C.E. Murphy – An awesome urban fantasy! Margrit may feel alone against the universe, but she has moxie that just won’t quit! Perfect for spooky season! Happy Reading!
