Soulless by Gail Carriger

A parasol, especially one loaded for werewolf, is a girl’s best friend.

Pale Demon by Kim Harrison **SPOILERS**

Haha, I’m really doing well with this manga blog and then writing about all these not-manga.

I’ve been sort of not as interested lately in Kim Harrison’s novels.  I’m not sure when exactly I started losing interest.  Maybe when Pierce was introduced.  I hate Pierce.  Also, whatever happened to Glenn?  He just kind of disappeared, which I’m sort of irritated with, as I really found him interesting.  I think Harrison’s running into the problem of too many characters and not sure what to do with them.

Quick series summary:  It’s our world, but humans have suffered greatly from a virus spread by tomatoes, and creatures in hiding stepped forward to help save civilization.  So the world is now stabilized, but humans find themselves surrounded by vampires, witches, weres, demons, etc.  Rachel Morgan is a witch, and a private investigator/troubleshooter, with her live-in partners Jenks, a pixie, and Ivy, a living vampire (aka a person on her way to becoming a vampire, but not dead yet).
