Hot Blooded (Jessica McClain, #2) in SOS: Serious Overload of Series

Shelves: urban-fantasy, reviewed, audiobook

Hot Blooded had all the things I didn't like about the first book: the info dumps, the super convoluted world building, the page long-monologues by almost every character and the boasting. OH THE BOASTING! The final confrontation between the main character and the evil villain was as follows:

THIS WENT ON FOR 5 CHAPTERS. At the end, I wanted to kill them both. What semi-intelligent being decides to have boastful conversations while in a fight to the death?

On top of that, it seems the author does ...more
