SALEM: Blood to Drink

JASON CRANE IS BAAACK!!!

After the bloated third book, I was wary to pick give this book a go, but I love the universe so much that I decided I'd go for the audiobook.

And I am EXTREMELY happy to say that this book is more like the Book 1 that hooked me on the series than either of the other two books.

The pacing is strong and exciting. Gleaves has a knack for metaphor and description that is put to good use throughout. I especially love the way he weaves in little details into side characters and descriptions that bring the whole thing to life. OH! Something I love even more is the way elements from the first three books play a role in this book. I know from conversations with the author that he did a lot of planning around these books and it shows.

It's not flawless, but it's close enough to justify all five of these stars in my book. I am so happy to be excited about this series again!
