love it can't wait for the next book

I have been a fan of marks since his first book and will remain one till the end. his books are fantastic, the only problem is that you have to wait for the next book.
Julia is the perfect narrator, listening to her is almost as good as reading the books. I own all the books and all the audible copies.
enjoy

Simply Outstanding

Amber Farrell BK 4, She both Vampire and Werewolf!

What did you love best about Cool Hand?

Amber Farrell is a really cool character, both Vampire and Werewolf and Awesome, She is also head of her house, which somehow also means she has had sex with more than one person in the house, both a man and a woman, the best part was when she was explaining in a normal person why to her mother. It was hysterical. "Yes mom they know about each other, I love them both, I know you don't understand but..., etc, etc, And Amber isn't even the Cool Hand, Jennifer is. And she is human. And so very cool, Amber's old Army buddy sharp shoot cool right hand.

What other book might you compare Cool Hand to and why?

Maybe some early Anita Blake (Laurel K. Hamilton) Books before she went into writing Anita too sexy less plot, back at the beginning when Hamilton wrote Blake more plot, with some sexual tension. Maybe Carrie Vaughn's Kitty Novel in her later books after she married Ben, but Kitty just had one man but was very open to let the world pair as they will. But she was only a Werewolf and Blake a Human Servant to a Vampire, at the same time as being Queen of the Were-Leopards, And Person in charge of settling all fights among the Werewolves for its king, and Something over the Were-Tigers and Were-Lions, So it gets a little confusing unless you have read all 24 books. .

Which character – as performed by Julia Motyka – was your favorite?

It's a toss up, I thought Amber was cool with her instincts coming out all over the place and running thing almost more then logic. But they were good instincts. Her Wolf was good. And I liked that about her. And I loved the Cool Hands of Jennifer, always there by her side, but not too afraid to tell her when she was messing up either. She was just cool. And I forgot her name, (Oh the joys of MS) but the girl who force her to go shopping and into the expense Underwear Shop, wear they ran into her mother coming out of. She was so very funny too.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Part 4 of the Amber Farrell Series: Now Head of her own house, Amber, Have werewolf, have vampire, something not seen in 400 years, after thinking they had finally gotten the last Mutlog out of Denver she is faced with having to take one into her own house.

Any additional comments?

Not sure about the Mutlog word, couldn't remember what they called the bad guys. It began with an M anyway. I really enjoyed the book, and now I have gone back and bought the 2, and 3 ones, for some reason the 1st isn't on Audioble (Yet?) and hopeful the 5 will be soon if there is enough interest. The book really is good - on it's own so it makes want to know what happen before hand and after. It's like seeing only part 3 of star wars. Its good and you are really happy they blew up the death star, but don't want to know what lead up to that. Hence movies 1-3 that only the younger people have seen, and so on.

Less tech and more magic

Every book brings something new to the table and this one is no different. We get a deep dive into Were, Athanate and Adept magic systems with this book. I love that this book allowed a bigger step back from Amber’s military training and reliance on the tech to get things done and focused on her finally exercising her paranormal abilities.

We get introduced to more new characters and how they fit into Amber’s life and her story. We get to see Tullah’s progress as Amber’s assistant and her own paranormal abilities as an Adept with a dragon spirit guide. More time with her dragon in this book was exciting.

I felt like this story was more personal for Amber and nothing like disobeying everyone’s orders and going on a road trip to get the party started.

I am constantly pleased and amazed at how fresh and unique every book has been in this series. Mr. Henwick is one of the best storytellers I’ve come across in years.

Another great addition to the series

Another great addition to the series. Anxious for the next book. Then when it comes out I will get the joy of listening to the series again. Love it every time. One of the few series that I enjoy more than once. Plz plz plz check out this series. You won't be sorry.

Dam this main character goes through hell!

What the main character goes through I am not sure anyone could really experience and come out the other side whole again. My self I would have broken and become a babbling idiot. On to next book.

That's Cold

That was pretty cold ending the book like that. You get the book so intense near the end then ease it down just a little and stop. What the heck so many questions. While i already had and was going to listen to the next book now I have to right now. I need to know. It's like i said in my review of the last book addictive.
