Narration In Pursuance Of Books Witchling (Otherworld/Sisters of the Moon #1)
We're the D'Artigo Sisters: Half-human, half-Faerie, we're savvy--and sexy--operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times. My sister Delilah shapeshifts into a tabby cat whenever she's stressed. Menolly's a vampire who's still trying to get the hang of being undead. And me? I'm Camille--a wicked-good witch. Except my magic is as unpredictable as the weather, which my enemies are about to find out the hard way... At the Wayfarer Inn, a portal to Otherworld and the local hangout for humans and beasties alike, our fellow operative, Jocko, has been murdered. Every clue points to Shadow Wing, the soul-munching, badass leader of the Subterranean Realms. He's made it clear that he aims to raze humankind to the ground, turning both Earth and Otherworld into his private playground. Our assignment: keep Shadow Wing and his minions from creeping into Earth via the Wayfarer. The demons figure they're in like Flynn. After all, with only my bumbling sisters and me standing in the way, how can they miss? But we've got a secret for them: Faulty wiring or not, nobody kicks ass like the D'Artigo girls. . .Itemize Books In Favor Of Witchling (Otherworld/Sisters of the Moon #1)

2-1/2 StarsIt was a bit difficult to get through this book. In general, I'm not a big fan of a book that has "one of each" of paranormal characters. It's like the author couldn't quite choose what she wanted to write a book about and just threw a big mix in.The plot was not bad, maybe one of the reasons I kept going. But, like in a lot of first books of a series, there's a lot of explaining about the people, the places, traditions, characters. And that was all I was reading for the first fewA double DNF'd tried to do this one twice and both time I just got bored. Blah blah all they do is talk about this paranormal creature and that paranormal creature...I have great boobs. I masturbate. I was naked for a week. We are all so hot, but we don't have sex. Ok now we have sex in abstract descriptions... done.
Witchling was recommended to me as a series similar to Kate Daniels (my favorite urban fantasy series), so I had to give it a shot.LIKES:✔ 3 Sisters with different paranormal abilities. Like TV show 'Charmed' but even more different...✔ Complex world-building with intricate fae politics.✔ A lot of paranormal creatures: demons, harpies, gargoyles, dragons, fae, vampires, giants, witches, shifters, ...DISLIKES:✘ Info dumping all the time. All the info about the world I got was from Camille's long

When Im honest this book was a bit of a disappointment to me! The premise sounded very promising and I liked the idea of three magical sisters (although this concept isnt really original or new) but I couldnt connect with Camille DArtigo who was the narrator of this book. There were also too many side-characters for my taste and the potential three love-interests of our heroine (no, Camille is not a one-man-woman) bored me. Im not very fond of "Harem-books" as I call these books where it gets
The author lost me when she put in the words "J-Lo esque butt".Yeah I lost interest really quickly after that.
Ok, I don't normally read books from the Romance section. There is a relatively new category in that section, however, paranormal romance. Most of those books also are not to my taste; however, some are much more fantasty or sci fi than romance...and those I sometimes read.This series falls into that latter category. The plot is actually more important than who falls into bed with whom. The premise is: take 3 sisters who are half human -- half fae and send them to Earth...and high jinx ensue.
If I could have given it less than one star, I would have. I just couldn't get past her constant use of acronyms and the never ending need to repeat herself. I get it, the main character is flawed, her spells always go wrong, you don't have to tell me a dozen times before she casts every darned spell. It just got tiresome. I wanted to put the book down in the first seventy pages. I made it through to the end because I made a bet that I would finish it. If I hadn't I would have tossed the book in
