Synopsis:
|
Bethany Anne must
begin cleaning up the mess left behind by Michael. She has to start
cleaning up the Forsaken who are starting to make inroads in North
America due to Michael's absence. She has to start putting Michael's
“good” children back on the straight and narrow and have them go
back to their duties of keeping the supernatural outside of the
purview of the normal world. She also has to put the Council of the
Were in their place, as several members are thinking that without
Michael around they can begin shoving the humans around, perhaps even
ruling them.
While ALL this is
going on, Bethany Anne also has to keep in mind that the overall
threat is so much greater and her final goal must be to get humanity
into space and ready to fight off potential hordes of ravening
aliens.
Sometimes, being
Queen Bitch just isn't worth the hassle.
My
Thoughts:

This was F-U-N!! Nothing deep, nothing worth a re-read but my
goodness, Bethany Anne kicks some serious butt. She is pretty much a
Mary Sue, but only if Mary Sue was a psycho violent vampire who was
trying to protect the planet. I can handle that.
Even through all of this, Bethany Anne is still planning on just how
she is going to save the planet. She might be violent but she's not
at all stupid. She's beginning to make more and more use of TOM and
she's already thinking about how she can use its knowledge to grow
humanity's knowledge AND give her the funds necessary to build the
space stuff that will be needed.
Thinking about this book, I would compare it to the earlier MHI
books in terms of action and violence. I'd compare it quality-wise to
the first MHI book as well. The thing that gives me pause is that
Anderle has a bajillion books while Correia has a steady output of
steadily increasing quality. I'm kind of afraid to find out where
Anderle plateaus or even nosedives. That's the only problem and that
is all in my head.
I almost started in on the next book right away but thank goodness my
inner core of self control kept me safe. Nothing is worse than
having too much of a good time all at once.
★★★★☆
