Rendition During Books Witchling (Otherworld/Sisters of the Moon #1)
We're the D'Artigo Sisters: Half-human, half-Faerie, we're savvy--and sexy--operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times. My sister Delilah shapeshifts into a tabby cat whenever she's stressed. Menolly's a vampire who's still trying to get the hang of being undead. And me? I'm Camille--a wicked-good witch. Except my magic is as unpredictable as the weather, which my enemies are about to find out the hard way...At the Wayfarer Inn, a portal to Otherworld and the local hangout for humans and beasties alike, our fellow operative, Jocko, has been murdered. Every clue points to Shadow Wing, the soul-munching, badass leader of the Subterranean Realms. He's made it clear that he aims to raze humankind to the ground, turning both Earth and Otherworld into his private playground. Our assignment: keep Shadow Wing and his minions from creeping into Earth via the Wayfarer. The demons figure they're in like Flynn. After all, with only my bumbling sisters and me standing in the way, how can they miss? But we've got a secret for them: Faulty wiring or not, nobody kicks ass like the D'Artigo girls. . .

If I could have given it less than one star, I would have. I just couldn't get past her constant use of acronyms and the never ending need to repeat herself. I get it, the main character is flawed, her spells always go wrong, you don't have to tell me a dozen times before she casts every darned spell. It just got tiresome. I wanted to put the book down in the first seventy pages. I made it through to the end because I made a bet that I would finish it. If I hadn't I would have tossed the book inI almost put this book down after the first chapter. Talk about a horrible start - it takes half of the book to warm up and be a little bit interesting. There are inexcusably bad puns, and early on, there is a false sense of camaraderie among characters that has not yet been earned from the reader's perspecive. The first few chapters read like a high school senior wrote the book. Fortunately, the story does improve as the book progresses, and the newly introduced characters are fairly
This is one of those books where a problem is brought up and then resolved within 10 pages of each other, and this happened time and time again. It doesn't feel like one story. It's several tasks that are done, and strung together like it's a story. I did like the characters though. The big offense is that there's a whole lot of dictating of the story, like I'm reading someone's to-do list. I rather see the characters live the story, and that's not what was done here. I want to be a part of the
Warning: I only got 35% into the book. And I freely acknowledge that things could get better. But I couldn't force myself further at this point.Just some random thoughts on what I did read.*Characters are one-dimensional. And really not smart. They supposedly were half human/half fae, but even though they lived for years in 'Otherworld' they really didn't know anything. The main character has this contempt for humans, and disregard for what she's supposed to be doing that got on my nerves.
Let me start by saying that I like Yasmine Galenorn's writing quite a lot. I love her pagan/metaphysical booksshe's one of the few authors out there who seems to have a genuine passion for the subject matterand I've also enjoyed the one installment of CHINTZ 'N' CHINA that I've read. That said, I didn't really enjoy Witchling, the first novel of her SISTERS OF THE MOON series, though I feel kind of bad saying so about something she's obviously worked hard on and feels strongly about.

I think it's sad that after 2 chapters I was done.It sounded a lot like Charmed from the back cover, but it feels like a Charmed rip-off mixed with a wanna be Merry Gentry.*sigh* maybe one day I'll finish it, but as of now, the writing irritated me and was boring and repetitive.
Ok, I don't normally read books from the Romance section. There is a relatively new category in that section, however, paranormal romance. Most of those books also are not to my taste; however, some are much more fantasty or sci fi than romance...and those I sometimes read.This series falls into that latter category. The plot is actually more important than who falls into bed with whom. The premise is: take 3 sisters who are half human -- half fae and send them to Earth...and high jinx ensue.
