Salt and Silver

Promising Start

I enjoyed the premise of this book but found it ordinary as oppose to extraordinary. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed myself and was entertained. There was plenty of action, suspense and twisted-humor. The lead character, Allie, was sensible, noble and fearless. Allie and Ryan had great chemistry and there were a ton of supernatural characters involved. I loved the notion of a trip to hell and back, that hell is only a mere doorway away but still there was something lackluster about the story. I still do, however, recommend this book and look forward to reading book two set in this universe -- this one will be about the vampires.

Interesting Take on the Paranormal

This thing I liked the most is that fact that the heroine is not a young skinny extremely beautiful woman. She points out her very average body and all its flaws and seems more realistic and real then some of the other characters in other novels.

fun urban romantic fantasy

It was the innocence of idle affluent youth, but Allie and her friends conjured up an entrance to and from hell in the basement of Sally's Diner in Brooklyn. Feeling responsible but unsure how to close the portal permanently, Allie works at the diner feeding customers and insuring they are not on the menu of some beast as a snack.

Over the past six years since her folly, Allie has fought demons and argued with hunters. The one that frightens her the most is Ryan who blithely moved into the basement. Her door to hell vanishes, and other portals open and close throughout the city. Ryan and Allie finally stop bickering to team up to take the war into hell before hell takes it to earth.

Though urban romantic fantasy has flooded the market especially starring women turning from social deb to superheroine, fans will enjoy the latest entrant and her adventures in Brooklyn as she may not prove a tree grows in the largest borough, but demons do. Allie's war with Ryan the hunter provides humorous asides to the fight they make to keep paranormal evil off the streets of the city. The couple turns Anna Katherine's super entry into the subgenre into a fun thriller.
