Not a book for arachnophobes!

In _Changeling_, Yasmine Galenorn avoids the thing that annoyed me most in _Witchling_; namely, the infodumping. Having set the scene in _Witchling_, Galenorn is free to spend most of _Changeling_ on plot and character development. There is some exposition, but it didn't strike me as excessive. It was just the right amount to get me caught up after two years' absence from Galenorn's universe. _Changeling_ is written from the point of view of Delilah D'Artigo, a sister of _Witchling_'s heroine. When sexy werepuma Zachary Lyonnesse walks into Delilah's life, he brings two problems with him: a murder mystery, and second thoughts about her relationship with her boyfriend Chase. (Also, Chase's bizarre change of heart in _Witchling_ is explained here.) Galenorn, as I already knew from her other writings, has a strong love of nature and knows the Pacific Northwest like the back of her hand. I give her a lot of credit for populating her universe with werecreatures who are plausible for the Seattle area. Other urban fantasies often have weres that seem unrealistic for the habitat in which the books are set. I also love some of the language that flows from Galenorn's pen when she describes nature and the seasons: "As he spoke, his words seemed to weave a tapestry of music around us. I could hear the thundering of dark clouds as they raced across fields and forests. The swirl of snow grew thick, coiling around us like a whirlwind of white dancers desperate for one last kiss before they melted into oblivion." Other aspects I enjoyed were a hilarious slapstick scene involving Delilah and some shiny objects, and tantalizing glimpses of Menolly's character. I don't think it'll be two years before I get around to reading _Darkling_. That said, _Changeling_ is not perfect. Galenorn still gives her baddies horribly cheesy names. The romance plot fell a little flat for me; I guess I didn't like either of Delilah's guys as much as she did. Two major "power-ups" for Delilah in one book seemed excessive. And I don't know that this is a book that'll stick in my memory permanently. It's good fun, though, if you like urban fantasy with a prominent romance plot.

Story ok, BUT

Customer Rating:

This series started with Witchling about three sisters from Otherworld half fae- half human. Yet each is different and the books take one sister's path at a time, alternateing between the three. In Witchling the first book is about Camille the Witch and apparently the nyphomaniac. The sex is porn quality and I am now told on an Anita Blake style. Something the boys of this world will enjoy, but saying these books are paranormal romance is a misnomer. This book is the second sister's path and less of a turn-off in that respect. The reason I continued reading the series is the Storyline is actually GOOD! If you can get past alot of the BS it reals you in. Darkling is the best of the four books out so far, but this one isn't too bad. I wrote a scathing review of the first book but apparently you can put alot of 'porn' sex into a novel but not it's review! Thank the gods this has less of that and more plot. I don't mind if the sex is relevant to the character, but sometimes in this series it seems a little too gratuitous. Try the authors other series if you want romance..The Chintz and China series.

I loved this book, I didn't want to put it down. I loved how Delilah is fragile yet dangerous, the storyline and the world Yasmine has created. Very excitinig and original. I would've liked more flirting/sex between Delilah and Zach but Chase filled in nicely. Can't wait for Menolly's turn in book 3.

Delilah's Turn

Customer Rating:

Changeling is told from Delilah's point of view. She's the middle sister and she's a werecat, she changes into a long haired golden tabby. In this book she is approached by a member of the Rainier Puma Pride, Zachary Lyonnesse, because someone is killing members of his pride; leaving behind a dried up husk with the heart missing. Upon going to the pride's compound Delilah and her sisters discover that a demon is behind the attacks and ask the pride if they have any idea who could be doing this to them. At that point The Hunters Moon Clan is brought up because of an old fight between the two groups, but their leader is dead, it couldn't be them. But the demon scent also had the scent of werespider mixed into it so it bears looking into, which means talking to the Autumn Lord, something that isn't to be taken lightly. The Autumn Lord is in charge of spiders, so he would know about werespiders as well, the price to talk to him may be something to high to pay.

The second book in this captivating series by Yasmine Galenorn, we follow the story along with Delilah D'Artigo, middle sister of the three half-blooded fae who have decided to work their magic earthbound. Camille is the eldest, and Witchling was our chance to get to know her. Now we find out about the were-cat's secrets that she doesn't share with her sisters - much of it relating to her other life as a cat, but also some of her PI work, as well. But this time she knows she's in over her head when one of the local were-puma clans hires her to look into the multiple murders of their clan members, so she invites Camille and Mennolly (her vampire sister) to help her examine the scene of the crimes. Delilah is the middle sister, although she is usually treated like the youngest because of her whimsical feline nature and her tendency to morph into a cat whenever she is stressed out. She is delighted by butterflies and shiny ornaments in either form, but she has a lot more trouble reigning in her impulses when she is in her were form. When were-puma Zach Lyonnesse strolls into her office, all of her senses are on alert. Zach's pack-mates are dying and no one knows why or how to stop it. Delilah, confused by her reaction to Zach, agrees to investigate the scene to see if it is something within her purview, but only if she can bring her sisters with her. Meanwhile, the sisters are hearing rumors of trouble in the Otherworld - wars among the factions - and their father and aunt are in the middle of the situation. Trillian, Camille's lover, is able to travel between worlds to gather information, but when their father disappears after warning them of a Degath Squad crossing to Earth, the girls realize that things have progressed much further than they had thought and danger was surrounding them from all sides. Delilah and her sisters must call upon all of their strengths to fight the battle that is coming. All of their friends are banding together to help however possible - but they end up with much more than anyone ever bargained for when they call upon an Immortal for information. Galenorn is a master storyteller who is not afraid to pull punches while be-spelling her readers with her magical journeys. Her characters are far from perfect and make mistakes just like the rest of us - without giving it away, the tree episode is absolutely hysterical and something many readers will be able to relate to from their personal experiences. I have enjoyed every single fictional work by this author, and she can't write fast enough for me. Mystery readers who enjoy the paranormal or fantastical elements of stories won't be able to put this one down, but I'd recommend reading Witchling first for the full effect.
