I loved Grinder. I had to say it. I don’t know what it is,
maybe “biker with a big heart”, but he got to me. I know Junior is fun and
spunky and unique. I can see how she would be someone’s favourite character.
She’s awesome and I very much enjoyed her and her interactions with Hazel, but
Grinder is the one for me. Cuthbert is another great character. A dapper man
with a biker partner, and occasional English accent, he seems intriguing. All
the characters do. I feel like Assassin Eco-Corpses was just
a taste of who all these characters are.
I don’t want to give anything away, but I appreciated the
villain twist. It wasn’t what I expected, and I do enjoy the unexpected.
“Eco-Corpses” really start to make sense. I also appreciated the story taking place
somewhere I was familiar with. I know that won’t be the case with every reader,
but I liked the little details, seeing the different parts of town the corpses
traveled.
Endings can make or break a story for me. I read a book
recently where one of the sub-plots left me wanting. Not that I need everything
to be wrapped up in a bow, especially with a series, but there needs to be a
level of satisfaction with the ending. Assassin Eco-Corpses ended
with emotion, surprise and curiosity. It also ended with possibility, which is
what will have me looking forward to the next D.E.M.ON.
installment.
