DEAD RIVER
CONTENT WARNING: Suicide and suicidal attempts. Grief. Drowning. Murder. I’d forgot this was paranormal, and went in expecting a contemporary thriller. A teen girl hates camping and the outdoors, yet still agrees to on a white water rafting weekend with her boyfriend, her best friend, and a tag-along. It does not go well. She falls out, drowns, but is rescued by a guy who’s…a ghost or something. And there’s this other ghost, and it’s all very confusing and nonsensical. But the only way the girl can access the ghostworld – namely the ghost of her dead mother – is by drowning. Yes, it gets a bit suicidal. The rafting is interesting, and the grief regarding her mother is relatable, but the paranormal element is a fail, and that epilogue is ugh.

[REVIEW] Bloodshifted – Cassie Alexander

Cassie Alexander
Bloodshifted (Edie Spence, Book 5)
Macmillan St. Martin’s (US: 1st July 2014)
Buy (US Kindle Edition) Buy (US Paperback) Buy (UK) Buy (CA Kindle Edition) Buy (CA Paperback) Buy (Worldwide)

With Bloodshifted, one of my favourite urban fantasy series comes to an end. Well, you can imagine Edie going on to have many more adventures – the baby’s not even born yet – but the publisher decided not to continue with it. If you’re looking for more of Cassie Alexander’s work, though, she self-publishes erotic fiction.

One of the major drawcards to this series is that Edie Spence is a nurse. I like learning about medical things, so the hospital setting of Y4 is a winner. The location changes, though, with Edie’s most recent adventure on a cruise ship.

Now she’s living underground with vampires to protect her until the baby is born. The head vampire owns a nightclub, of course, but even this trope isn’t boring with Cassie Alexander’s storytelling prowess. And it’s always cool to read about a “mad science” lab.

The best part of the novel: DIY surgery with a plastic bag and a straw. Impressed the hell out of me!

If you’re looking for a thoroughly enjoyable five-book urban fantasy series, begin with Nightshifted, and have a great time.
