Review: Wonderful Meaty Read

I am a huge fan of this series, as well as the two series by this author that introduce the characters brought together in Ascension, and have been following these characters from the beginning.  I have to say the writing just keeps getting better and better.  Oaths of Blood is a fun meaty read that brings Elise, Rylie, Seth, and James, to name a few of the characters making an appearance in this installment, together again with a whole new possible world ending crisis.  The maturity in the writing continues and I think this installment is one of the best so far.  There is plenty of action and nail biting edge of your seat suspense, as well as a few surprises with crooked politicians, demons galore, werewolves, angels, and witches just to mention a few of the characters that make up this great read.  We also get to revisit with characters introduced in prior works and see just what they are up to now. Overall I loved Oaths of Blood, it was a wonderful ride with a jaw dropping ending that has left me eager to read the next installment.  I am going to stick to my guns in saying this series should be read in order, including the prior two series, to get the full enjoyment from the world building and characterizations.  However, I also believe that if you started here, you would want to go back and find out what took place to bring about the current condition of this world and learn more about the characters that inhabit it.  I definitely would recommend these works to urban fantasy fans.  I received this book from the author with a request for my honest review without any compensation whatsoever, other than the joy of reading a new book.
