That's it - I have definitely finished with this series. I'm not quite sure why it seemed like a good idea to give the second one a shot when it so clearly was just not my kind of thing, but at least now I can say definitively that it isn't. That not-my-thing-ness relates to prose and mind-set/characters, more than setting, which I quite liked. The prose is seriously repetitive, and when some of the things being repeated are irritating in themselves, that's not a good thing. As I said in the review of the first book, first-person narrators can get away with talking about their eyes as a certain colour once *if* at all. Not repeatedly. (If anyone ever hears me saying anything about "my hazel eyes" UNLESS I'm discussing genetics and the eye-colour of my family members, please stick a gag-order on me fast.) And then there was "the Fire elemental who murdered my family". Seriously, if anyone had made it to the end of the book and still had the slightest doubt about the type of elemental it was who'd killed Gin's family, I would worry about their ability to read basic English. Here's an example that may say everything else I'd like to say about the prose: The detective raised his gaze to my face. Emotions flickered in his golden eyes, like lightning dancing across the sky during a thunderstorm. Guilt. Heat. Desire. But he didn't move towards me, so I decided to up the stakes, so to speak. [cut one paragraph in which Gin works her sexy magic (rather than her Ice or Stone magic) on him] Donovan's gaze was even hotter now, and those same three emotions kept flashing in his eyes, one after another, faster and faster, as though his brain were overloaded by the feelings. Guilt. Heat. Desire. Guilt. Heat. Desire. Anyone else reminded forcefully of fruit machines? (view spoiler) Frankly, there's not a lot between the pair of them (except of course the sizzling attraction!) - Gin initially admired Donovan for not being a corrupt cop, but doesn't appreciate it one little bit when he doesn't throw his whole moral code in the trash and join her in just killing the bastards who can't be stopped by the corrupt justice system. I'm not even remotely tempted to read on to see the next hot male enter her life. Oh well, it was a cheap paperback and I read it when I had a headache and stomach-ache and the day's reading would have been wasted on something I liked more.
