“It’s still a good story.  But I lost that love and spark.” ~Under the Covers

Wow, I’m not quite sure where to start with what I want to say…. I love Kitty Norville.  She’s always been a fresh change in a sea where the paranormal series blend together as they always have the same thing to say.  The books in this series are always original in plot and there is usually an interconnected storyline or bad guy that drives them forward.  That being said, I may just be done reading it.

I’ll try to explain why.  Kitty lost the spark for me.  In the past few books we haven’t gotten much in the way of changing of Kitty’s character.  Yes, she’s the Alpha of her Pack.  Yes, she’s learning to deal with the dangers she faces, but at the core she’s still a bit of a cynic and carries on the same way that she would’ve a few books back.  I am not seeing the character growth.

Then there’s Cormac.  I’ve seen his characters morph and change into this weird thing that now is really also a witch who lives in his body.  I used to LOVE him.  And I can’t find it in me to love him anymore.

As much as this story was still fresh and interesting, what with Kitty having to go to the Underworld and not knowing if she would make it out alive… I was sadly uninterested.  Don’t get me wrong it’s still a good story.  But I lost that love and spark.  I feel like maybe it’s time to give this series a conclusion or a new twist.

I'm a sun-loving Floridian in my forties, but my favorite season is Fall—perfect for reading under a blanket in a comfy sweater on a rainy day. I run Inkspire (https://www.goinkspire.com), a blogger support business where I teach web design, SEO, organization and how to turn blogging into a business. I have a special fondness for elephants. My favorite genres are historical and paranormal romance, plus urban fantasy, though I often find myself reading a lot of contemporary romance. To keep my reading fresh, I switch genres to avoid book slumps and love authors who can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.

  1. I enjoy that each book in this series has had an entirely different story line and many different settings, but there’s always been the missing spark with the characters. Kitty and her guy have no heat, Cormac has been under utilized and watered down (though he never got much page time or development). For me, this has always been a check out from the library series.

    While Cormac and the witch (who’s name I forget) are secondary characters, why add a potentially interesting twist and do so little with it? I think it’s time for an exorcism.
