Book Review: "Souls of the Damned" by E.S. Moore



Kat Redding would love to take a break from the gruesome, dangerous work of hunting down rogue vampires and werewolves, battling for innocent lives. But there's no peace for Lady Death. Until Kat's young charge, Sienna, appears on her doorstep, escaped from the shadow-paradise of Delai. Sienna is weak, confused, desperate--human in the utmost. If Kat is going to have any hope of breaking the hold of Delai, she'll have to infiltrate the walls around the false sanctuary. And the only way she can do that is to trade in her battle-hardened, bloodthirsty vampire's body--for Sienna's human form.
With no weapons but her wits, Kat has to trust a demon, defeat an angel, and wrestle with her own rebel soul--because with all the fear and death she's conquered, no one has ever offered her another day under a warm yellow sun. . . - from Amazon.com


I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher, Kensington Books, through NetGalley, for a review.

This is the fifth book in the Kat Redding series, and takes off pretty much right after book four. By now hopefully you have read the others and are aware that Kat is a vampire that hunts other vampires, and weres. She has a human room mate that summons a demon, has feelings for a werewolf leader, is oath-bound to another werewolf that wants her, and has so many "fingers in the pot" stuff going on, it makes her more human and likable.

Great continuation of the story line. I like how this one closes a few doors on some things that had happened before, and yet, leaves us hanging for another book to find out what happens next. The 'Supes' (vamps, weres, etc) are described realistically. Though I am not for the romance aspect in many of the paranormal/urban fantasy genres, the little love interests going on through this series is pretty dent, with out going overboard, jumping into some sex scene every page turn.
