Review: An Engaging Read

I was anxious to start reading One Crow Sorrow since the first book was very engaging. Even though Vampires of Soldier Cove is a series, the first book did not end with a cliffhanger, which I appreciated greatly since pretty much all series these days end with some sort of unresolved issue to make sure the reader will buy again. I hate that because I would sometimes feel cheated into buying multiple short books just to finish one story.The story continues right where the first book left off. Gavin and Rachel is enjoying their newly wed period but of course, Gavin starts behaving strangely and thus the drama unfolds. What I love about this story is that it is multi faceted. There are lots of gruesome and graphic details of vampire killings, and yet those are contrasted/ balanced nicely by the warmth and love portrayed between Gavin, his family, and Rachel. Sometimes paranormal novels becomes too heavy or even silly, but I didn't feel that here. The content might be heavy yet i would still categorize this book as a light read.The one thing I did not enjoy was the ending.  I feel it is anticlimatic. Since the first book ended on a good note (meaning there was no unresolved issues), I did not expect a cliffhanger for this second book. A bit disappointed.
