… Kittredge fans will be happy to know that she has once again spun a fascinating yarn that is loaded with creative nuances and twists. Her dark imagination is a breath of dank, moldering, fetid air exhaled by something creeping out of the haunted crypt she calls a brain. She has a knack for unfolding compelling stories without too much backfill… But as much as I want to give Demon Bound a glowing recommendation, my enjoyment was limited by the fact that I personally found it very hard to sympathize with the male co-protagonist Jack Winter.  Read the rest.

One Response to “Demon Bound: Caitlin Kittredge Rocks. Jack Winter not so much.”

  1. Melissa (My World)

    I enjoyed the first book and am looking forward to Demon Bound as well. It sounds as Jack is worse in this book than in the first one. I didn’t think he was all that bad in the first other than the drug problem he just didn’t seem to want to over come. But, there did seem to be something there for Jack and Pete. I however was wondering if the story line will carry through with well. I hope so.

    Thanks for the review!
