Pale Demon by Kim Harrison

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Ah, fuck, I don't know, I read this a month ago and five thousand miles away. When people ask me for urban fantasy series recs, I often don't give them this one, and when I do it's with a lot of caveats -- "she would be a much better writer if she wasn't pumping out two books a year" "there are a handful of sex scenes that are just embarrassing when you remember someone wrote them to be sexy" etc. I swore off this series, actually, on a surfeit of stupid. But swearing off a series means you have to totally unplug, abandon the early investment in the lives of made up people, back before it all went weird and sort of deflated. And so I unplugged, I stopped caring. And because I stopped caring, I could pick up the new book for airplane reading and go "huh, yeah, there it is" over it. Whereas if I still cared, I wouldn't come anywhere near this book. Shrug.
