I really like these books. The stories are original, the lead characters are understandable, and the baddies are really bad. Diane Lopez is not a fluffy, airhead woman TSTL, but a woman who thinks first, who is not afraid to ask questions and get info from Lee when she is in over her head. Lee Nez is a capable officer who tries to protect as many people as he can in dangerous situations. He may be a vampire but he has a heart, a conscience, and respects the old ways when he can.
This was my purse book, therefore it took a very long while to get through. I wish I'd had more time immediately with it so that the story would take hold and keep me there. I read the first one a long while back, but it stuck with me. This one didn't grab me right away and the two stories going on with two sets of 'bad guys' had me a little off at times, too.
All that said, I did like reading more adventures about Lee Nez, now known as Officer Leonard Hawk in this particular alias. I look forward to finding the next two in the series. I've been told they are hard to find, so I hope I can run across them somewhere. I will be looking for the Ellah Claw series the two authors have as well as the Sister Agatha series.
