The Vampire and the Case of the Baleful Banshee by Heather G. Harris, Jilleen Dolbeare
3.0
I was a little disappointed at the third entry of this series. It felt a little like the authors had forgotten some of what they had previously written.
The book kicks off with no mention of how much time had passed (which is minor, but they did this in book 2 and book 2 kind of ended with an proclamation at an event was going to happen so book 3 starting off with no mention of it was a little odd.)
But, still. Minor minor.
We then went on to finally admitting the Dog wasn't normal. (we're watching you!)
But then we had a scene of an FMC being very surprised that a certain someone knew Monty Python. And mentioning how this makes her love them just a little bit more.
... which the FMC already knew? In fact, it was one of the first moments she realized he wasn't so bad because he completed a seemingly famous monthy python saying with her. (Which if monthy python is such a big deal to her you'd think she'd remember)
Added that to the minor scene where, for some odd reason, the FMC decide to standing a burning building and argue about how she isn't a lady like that somehow offended her when I'm pretty sure she first snubbed Connor by saying men didn't touch ladies without permission in London in book 1.
Oh, and her proclaiming she had "heard all the bunny puns" when the very first bunny pun that the werebear gave her in the last book was one she hadn't heard?
All very minor details but it makes me really worry about the next book and another potential drop in quality.
