Redemption Alley

Today’s post is on Redemption Alley by Lilith Saintcrow. It is 311 pages long and is published by Orbit. The cover is purples with Jill in the center looking tough. As is it the third in the Jill Kismet series, you need to have read the first two in the series to understand what is going on. There is foul language, no sex, and lots of violence in this volume. The story is told from first person close of Jill. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Some cases are unusual - even for Jill Kismet.

When her police contact asks her to look into a "suicide", she suddenly finds herself in a labyrinth of deception, drugs, murder -- and all-too-human corruption. The cops are her allies, except for the ones who want her dead. The hellbreed are her targets, except for the ones who might know what's going on. Her city is in danger, time is running out, and each lead only draws her deeper.

How far will a hunter go when her city -- and her friends -- are on the line?

Just far enough.

Review- A very fast paced action novel that shows Jill at her best, when she is neck deep in trouble and demons. Jill is on her own as Saul’s mother is dying and he had to go home for that. Of course that’s when things start to go down but not in the normal way for Jill. Her police contact asks a favor from Jill and at first nothing seems like it has to do with the nightside but the deeper Jill gets, the more the nightside shows up. One interesting choice from Saintcrow is that that demon Perry, who Jill has a deal with, is only in one scene and that’s all. That makes this volume all the more interesting to me, as Perry overshadowed the other villains in previous volumes. I think this volume might be my favorite but I haven’t finished the series yet, so that could change. A solid volume and I look forward to the next adventure with Jill. 

I give this novel a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this novel with my own money.
