Week in Review

[Sabina Kane 3]

Things to do:

1. Rescue sister.
2. Murder grandmother.
3. Don’t upset the voodoo priestess.

The clock is ticking for Sabina Kane. Her sister has been kidnapped by her grandmother, the Dark Races are on the brink of war, and a mysterious order is manipulating everyone behind the scenes.

Working on information provided by an unlikely ally, Sabina and her trusty sidekicks–a sexy mage named Adam Lazarus and Giguhl, a Mischief demon–head to New Orleans to begin the hunt for her sister. Once there, they must contend with belligerent werewolves, magic-wielding vampires and–perhaps most frightening of all–humans.

But as much as Sabina is focused on surviving the present, the past won’t be ignored. Before she can save those she cares about most, she must save herself from the ghosts of her past.

I’ve been following Jaye Wells’ Sabina Kane series since the beginning, because when you get a book in your Amazon “If you liked this, than you might also like this…” called Red-Headed Stepchild, who could refuse? The book was practically calling out to me! The second, The Mage in Black, I snatched up as soon it hit the stores and devoured it immediately. So when I saw the third in the series Green-Eyed Demon up for grabs on NetGalley, my loud shrieks of fan girly enjoyment could be heard streets away!

At the end of The Mage in Black we left Sabina – half vampire, half mage, all bad ass- the exact same way we find her at the beginning of Green-Eyed Demon – pissed off. It’s only been three days since her twisted grandmother, Lavinia, kidnapped her long lost twin sister, Maisie, and getting her back will lead Sabina and Co. to the wild haunted streets of New Orleans.

There are so many reasons to why I love this series. First we have the truly kick-ass heroine, Sabina Kane. You can see the evolution of Sabina through the first two books in the series, but it isn’t really until this one that we find her accepting things about herself or changing them for the better.

Then we have her “Team Awesome” as the best minion any super chick could ask for, Gighul aka Ms. Giggles, calls them. Mr. Giggles brings flare to the page and snark to our lives with some of the funniest quips and what’s even more spectacular is that they’re usually directed at the fiery Sabina. But there’s more to this seven-foot tall green demon – sometimes hairless pussy cat – and he shines brightly this time in some unusual ways.

“Whatever. I think you need to go find that boy and tell him how you feel. Then you need to ride him like a tilt-o-whirl.”
Mr. Giggles

Last but not least, a fabulous hero, Adam Lazarus, who is by all means probably one of the most genuinely nicest heroes I’ve ever seen. He has sincerity, he has class, he has intelligence and of course he has some banging good looks.

This series just gets better and better with every book and Green-Eyed Demon knocks it out of the park for me this time around. I relished the laugh-out-moments of Ms. Wells’s witticisms:

“Excuse me, but I’m only half vampire. And you have a lot of nerve. Like humans are any better. Last I checked, you don’t exactly consider cows your equals. “

Her back went up. “Are you calling me a cow?”

I raised an eyebrow. “Moo.”

And while the twist and turns kept me on the edge-of-my-seat it’s nothing compared to the explosive ending that has me ready for the next in the series… like NOW!

Go forth, Dear Readers, and grab up Green-Eyed Demon with me on the twenty second then preorder the fourth, Silver-Tongued Devil, more people need to know about this series.
