Uncanny Times by Laura Anne GilmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
| This was a fascinating start to a new series. Set in 1913, during an era of some upheaval ( think suffragettes) we have a brother and sister team (Aaron and Rosemary Harker) who are what is called Huntsmen. They search for the "Uncanny," better known to us as werewolves, Fey, Vampires, Brownies, and other creatures that go bump in the night. This is, first and foremost, a mystery, and the who did it and why was a wonderful twist. Because this is the first book in this series, we do get a bit bogged down in minutia, but I can see that it is necessary to the story. A lot of things aren't explained, so I hope that they will be later on in this series. A lot of hinting about the couple's back story -just enough to make you want to read more about them. A satisfying read, and I look forward to reading the second book when it comes out. *ARC supplied by the publisher Gallery / Saga Press, the author, and ATTL/Edelweiss. |
