URBAN FANTASY REVIEW: Redemption Alley - Lilith Saintcrow
BOOK BLURB:
Some cases are unusual - even for Jill Kismet.
When her police contact asks her to look into a "suicide", she suddenly finds herself in a labyrinth of deception, drugs, murder -- and all-too-human corruption. The cops are her allies, except for the ones who want her dead. The hellbreed are her targets, except for the ones who might know what's going on. Her city is in danger, time is running out, and each lead only draws her deeper.
How far will a hunter go when her city -- and her friends -- are on the line?
Just far enough.
REVIEW:
As a long time fan of Lili’s writing I really can’t wait for the latest offering to land. What has surprised me is that her UK publisher hasn’t even issued a release date yet let alone put the book out there for fans to purchase. Luckily enough the US Publisher was kind enough to send a copy through so I could keep up with my regular fix of Lili’s work.
What happens in the latest Kismet novel is a real tale of death, political intrigue, double dealing and of course murder, all of which she does well blending apparent unconnected cases together to make one giant mess that the protagonista has to fight her way out of besides being shot, stabbed and KO’d a multitude of times. A cracking novel and one that is going to make the wait for the next release even harder. If you haven’t tried her yet then give it a go. UK fans can get their fix from either known stockists of American releases such as Forbidden Planet or Murder One and numerous online booksellers. Kismet really is the all action girl with attitude. Traders look out.
