Comments:
As it turns out, I do not really know what to say about this one. Connor is scrambling, things are crumbling. The world is on the verge of war, starting in Boston. A war between Celtic fey, Teutonic fey, the Dead, Solitaires, and humans. The end is a whirl of confusion that, quite frankly, was difficult for me to follow. And "that's all there is; there ain't no more." Because I have no other thoughts on the matter.

Comments:
I was on something of a Urban Fantasy kick, finishing up some series I had started. I read all of these in December 2014.
Uncertain Allies - More of the world tearing apart and Connor being blamed for at least some of it. By this point I was ready for Connor to get a break.
New Tricks - Mason doesn't clue in about something pretty big, and his poor judgment of character was very annoying. But otherwise I guess the book was okay.
Unleashed - The title says it all. Bad stuff has been unleashed on the world. Mason must fix this (not only to save the world, but because he is at least partially to blame).
Play Dead - The cliffhanger ending, combined with the fact that this is likely the last book (no more are planned), has overwhelmed the rest of the story for me. What on Earth?
Anyway, this meant the end to the Dog Days series, and I finished the final Connor Grey book, Undone Deeds, in the new year (post to come). You know what I was thinking as I read these? I want another Twenty Palaces book by Harry Connolly (another series that is gone). ::sigh:: Maybe I'll finally read some of the Dresden series soon (as almost EVERYONE refers to it when speaking of male-author urban fantasy series).

Title: Unperfect Souls
Author: Mark Del Franco [Website][Facebook]
Publisher: ACE Fantasy
Series: Connor Grey, Bk 4
ISBN: 9780441018383
Length: 338 pages

Comments: I've been enjoying this series as a whole. Connor (who does not look like the cover for the simple fact of his hair, btw), is trying to make his way in a life nothing like he had originally planned for himself. But he is finding that he actually likes himself better this way. He's looking for justice instead of power. Of course, that means he is becoming more deeply involved in the building chaos and trouble that is becoming more and more obvious in the area. I always have trouble giving my thoughts when I read books from a series with the same primary character in row, and this is no different.
So here are some brief and choppy thoughts. And even though these are supposed to be about the individual books, some of the points actually apply to more than one.
Unquiet Dreams - We meet Connor's brother. We have some evil, "I'm taking over the world bwah-ha-ha!" action (not in so many words, but still). And of course that means lots of politics.
Unfallen Dead - Everything is falling to pieces, and many are blaming Connor. (But is he really to blame?) Connor's memory seems to be missing on all the bigs events. (Kind of weird because the reader still sees them and knows how it all went down.)
Unperfect Souls - Now violence, anger, tension, and turmoil is everywhere. Connor has some internal problems threatening to take over. Bad timing, that, because he has become something of a nexus for everything going on. Some big secrets uncovered in this one, too.
Anyway, I've requested the library get the ebooks for the next two books in the series (as I maybe don't have them?). Hopefully I'll be getting t them soon.

Unshapely Things
Title: Unshapely Things
Author: Mark Del Franco [Website][Facebook]
Publisher: ACE Fantasy
Series: Connor Grey, Bk 1
ISBN: 9780441014774
Length: 305 pages
Obtained: Personal copy - I'm unsure of where I got it. My best bet would be www.paperbackswap.com.
Why this book?:
I've read it before years ago. I knew I enjoyed it, and I wanted to continue with the series (most of which I also own ), but I needed a refresher as I had forgotten most of the story.
Comments:
Well, first, I had forgotten that Connor is a druid. It was interesting to compare his world to the one found in Kevin Hearne's books. They are very different. Apparently Connor was a powerful dud e working for the powerful entity - the Guild. But then there was an incident and he no longer has his full powers (or at least no longer has access to them), and now he's scraping by doing occasional consulting for the Boston P.D.
Which leads to this current case of male prostitute fairies being murdered. So Connor tries to figure out just who this murder could be, and he doesn't stop when everyone else seems to be done with the case.
I've already started the 2nd book in the series, Unquiet Dreams.
