Review: Murder of Crows (The Others #2) by Anne Bishop


4.5 stars for Murder of Crows (The Others book 2) by Anne Bishop.

Murder of Crows pretty much picks up from where book 1 Written In Red leaves off. This story is phenomenally well written with well developed and defined characters. We are introduced to some new characters, a new type of humans, the Intuits, and how the blood prophets came into being. However, I get confused over the introduction of new Earth natives characters from many other regions besides Ferry Landings', hence the half star short.

All in all, I am really glad that there is no cliffhanger in either book. Both books are written with an intriguing beginning of a brief history in this Urban Fantasy world and then work their way to a climatic ending.

@}--->>--->>-----

After winning the trust of the terra indigene residing in the Lakeside Courtyard, Meg Corbyn has had trouble figuring out what it means to live among them. As a human, Meg should be barely tolerated prey, but her abilities as a cassandra sangue make her something more.

The appearance of two addictive drugs has sparked violence between the humans and the Others, resulting in the murders of both species in nearby cities. So when Meg has a dream about blood and black feathers in the snow, Simon Wolfgard—Lakeside's shape-shifting leader—wonders whether their blood prophet dreamed of a past attack or of a future threat.

As the urge to speak prophecies strikes Meg more frequently, trouble finds its way inside the Courtyard. Now the Others and the handful of humans residing there must work together to stop the man bent on reclaiming their blood prophet—and stop the danger that threatens to destroy them all.
