Chronicle To Books Inhuman Resources (OSI #3)
This book was a bit more procedural-based than action-based compared to the previous two books in the series: I do love the C.S.I. (OSI) evidence and explanations, but I ultimately prefer my urban fantasy to resolve itself through choice and action. The first 2/3 of the book was great, but when Tess goes into a different realm (Lucien's home base) for help and information, there is suddenly several chapters of high fantasy world building. And the world is beautiful. The problem is that nothing really happens. Tess and Lucien get some information and then leave. I really needed them to get into some trouble and fight their way in or out. Instead, it felt like chapters of descriptive scenery. The ending also felt too convenient. Finally, instead of letting Mia and Patrick contribute to the fight as they did in the last book, they ended up just helpless victims. It was much more fun when all the characters were engaged. Still a good book and it doesn't dissuade me from continuing with the series.

couldn't even finish the book...awful beginning, middle and didn't care about the end.Enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would. Intend to search out the first two and catch up on the characters.
I have read the full series and I enjoyed the ending. His stories full of action mystery and keep you guessing.

Completed Inhuman Resources (Occult Special Investigations, Book 3) by Jes Battis. Best book yet in Battis OSI series. Included a visit to Trinovantum, the hidden extradimensional city of the Necromancers. Extraordinarily imaginative. My only regret with this series is that we have to wait a year between volumes.

Okay. Jes Battis is now one of the finds of 2010 for me (along with Devon Monk). Tess is sympathetic but believably flawed. Her narrative voice is sufficiently distinctive and quirky, but without being annoying. Supporting characters continue to provide able support. I will definitely continue to purchase books in this series.
