5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed it!, October 13, 2008

This review is from: Hunter's Prayer (Jill Kismet, Hunter, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Jill Kismet is a hunter that patrols the Nightside. She handles the big bad that cross from the demon realm into the human realm. She also bears the demon mark of a hellbreed, Pericles, Perry for short. His mark allows her as a human to have remarkable strength and speed, but she pays the price for that mark by having to spend time with Perry every month in almost whatever way he wants to pass the time. In this second book in this new series, prostitutes are showing up dead and eviscerated. Jill must find out who is killing prostitutes in her city.

I liked this second book even better than the first book and the first book was very good. It had tons of action and is written in typical Lilith style. It had a great mystery that at the end really surprised me. I have found this second series much easier to read than the Dante Valentine series, but I like both very much. I like the relationship Jill has with a were cougar, Saul Dustcircle. This relationship seems more stable and less volatile than the one Danny shared with Japh. I also like the character Jill. She's vulnerable but tough. She is very similar to Danny and how Danny was in the first books. Hopefully, Jill won't turn out as needy and self destructive as Danny ended up being. I very much look forward to the next in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars totally kicks butt, September 9, 2008

This review is from: Hunter's Prayer (Jill Kismet, Hunter, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Can I just say how much I love this Author's work? Hunter's Prayer is another kick butt mystery that keeps you glued to your seat. I finished this book in a day and a half because I could not put it down. This series is shaping up to be just as great as the Danny Valentine series.
If you're wondering who I'd compare this author to, she's like Laurell K Hamilton when Anita Blake focused on plot and not sex scenes.
There's great action and character development.
I can't get enough of Lilith Saintcrow

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first one, September 3, 2008

This review is from: Hunter's Prayer (Jill Kismet, Hunter, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoy Lilith Saintcrow's writing, and this book is no exception. The story in the second book of the Jill Kismet series has more twists and turns than Night Shift (the first of the series). More is revealed about Jill, and her relationship with Pericles becomes slightly more blurred. I look forward to the next one, hoping to learn more about Saul.
