Kindling the Moon (Arcadia Bell, #1) in SOS: Serious Overload of Series

3.5/5 or C+ Grade.

Why you ask? Why did I not Lurve this book? Simple really.

Arcadia Bell is part owner of a Bar for a more supernatural clientele. They even watch PATROL on Thursdays--to laugh at the stupid humans who don't see the imps and think there are ghosts. Ghosts aren't real in this novel people. Only Demons type species. (Maybe it was Thursdays, I don't remember) There was a scene were Arcadia pulls off a Coyote Ugly moment, I rolled my eyes a wee bit.

What I liked:

Jupe. How can you not ...more

I pictured a Brad-pittish man myself. bradpittgoatee

It took awhile but once I got through half of the book it really started to pick up. Cady had been through a lot and what happened at the end I totally didn't see coming, which is nice to be surprised by a writer. Lon was great but the best character in the book was Jupe. Lon's 13 year old son. I love the relationship he is building with Cady, they had an instant connection. The writing was solid and the story was interesting enough so that I will likely read the next one. ...more
