Unclean Spirits, Mmmmm not so much.

I'm tossing in an extra review today, because I just recently completed, Unclean Spirits, Book One of The Black Sun's Daughter.  This isn't a vampire book, just something I picked up because the cover looked interesing. 

It's a story about Jayné Heller, a young college drop-out who inherits a fortune after her uncle Eric is murdered. But along with money, properties all over the world and endless options, she inherits something extra -- his unfinished business with a cabal of wizards known as the Invisible College.

Led by the ruthless Randolph Coin, the Invisible College harnesses demon spirits for their own ends of power and domination.  With the help of a scientist, former Jesuit Priest, a self-styled Buddhist and a two hundred year old man cursed by Coin, Jayné tries to finish the work her uncle started.

The first few chapters of this book had me hooked, but then the plot and action slowed to a crawl and that left me frustrated.  Hanover's take on the supernatural is interesting, -- all supernatural beings are actually demons, posessing a human body.  So Vamps, Werewolves, and all things that go bump in the night are controlling the human host and are trying to reproduce.  Another downside, Each chapter created more questions than answers.  Why does she have a tatoo? Why does she have special skills that only manifest when she's attacked?  It's not so much that these questions are asked and not answered -- more that they are woven into the story without a start or end.  It's just a fact that's presented in the story and the reader is left to "figure it out".  But no information is given to "help" you figure it out. That's annoying.

Hanover has completed Book Two, Darker Angels.  I haven't added this to my reading list yet -- not sure if I will.
