Description Concering Books Inhuman Resources (OSI #3)
This book was a bit more procedural-based than action-based compared to the previous two books in the series: I do love the C.S.I. (OSI) evidence and explanations, but I ultimately prefer my urban fantasy to resolve itself through choice and action. The first 2/3 of the book was great, but when Tess goes into a different realm (Lucien's home base) for help and information, there is suddenly several chapters of high fantasy world building. And the world is beautiful. The problem is that nothing really happens. Tess and Lucien get some information and then leave. I really needed them to get into some trouble and fight their way in or out. Instead, it felt like chapters of descriptive scenery. The ending also felt too convenient. Finally, instead of letting Mia and Patrick contribute to the fight as they did in the last book, they ended up just helpless victims. It was much more fun when all the characters were engaged. Still a good book and it doesn't dissuade me from continuing with the series.Mention Books In Pursuance Of Inhuman Resources (OSI #3)

www.amberkatze.blogspot.comLast week I got a desire for some OSI. I read book #2, then #4 and #5. Of course, I had to read #1 and #3 again. If nothing else, I can write a review for the books to which I only gave ratings.You know that a book is good when you cannot put it down, even though you have read it at least twice. Inhuman Resources is that kind of book. Tess's family has normal problems blended with the magical ones, and sometimes the blend is comical, sometimes sad, and sometimes tragic. This book deals with
This was an improvement over the first two. The relationship stuff was a little rocky but the worldbuilding was lovely and the pacing seemed a little better.
Okay. Jes Battis is now one of the finds of 2010 for me (along with Devon Monk). Tess is sympathetic but believably flawed. Her narrative voice is sufficiently distinctive and quirky, but without being annoying. Supporting characters continue to provide able support. I will definitely continue to purchase books in this series.
Completed Inhuman Resources (Occult Special Investigations, Book 3) by Jes Battis. Best book yet in Battis OSI series. Included a visit to Trinovantum, the hidden extradimensional city of the Necromancers. Extraordinarily imaginative. My only regret with this series is that we have to wait a year between volumes.
Oh. wow. And not in a good way. I am so lost I can't even go any further. Honestly, I'm about fifty pages in and I have no idea what's going on. First, I have no idea what status the supernatural holds in this author's world. Are they commonly known by the general population? Is this a secret world? Considering how the book begins this information is a really important omission. What are the character relationships? It's really hard to tell.I don't think this is just a serious failing on the
Totally love this series, i cannot wait for his next book when it does come out. The books just get better and better.
