Review: Dark Deeds
Dark Deeds by Michelle DienerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This features different characters then Dark Horse. Rose, Dav, and Sazo do make an appearance towards the end.
Fiona (Fee) was abducted from Earth about a month after Rose. She recognized Rose's name since she heard/read her missing person reports. After her abduction, she was given to the Garmman to work as a slave on one of their trading vessels. Then she was assaulted by pirates and finally rescued by the Grih. There is an attraction between her and the Captain, Hal Vakeri, that isn't welcomed by the crew.
This also introduces another AI running a 3rd Class 5 ship, Eazi. Things happen. There is A LOT that happens in this one. Hal and Fee come across a cell that used to belong to Imogene Potts, another woman abducted. The United Council's investigative team is missing. The Grihs and the Tecrans, the United Council, might be moving closer to war.
The only thing really missing in this was romance. No sex, kissing only.

Review: A Discovery of Witches
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah HarknessMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5*
Pleasantly surprised. There are a lot of people to keep track of. Nice idea of the paranormals (demons, witches, vampires) living amongst people undetected. Diana's "special-ness" did get a bit old, but did have an explanation (view spoiler). I did think Matthew's behavior bordered on stalker-ish and it's something I would have tolerated in a contemporary romance novel. That said, the romance is light in this one (IMO, when it's all said and done). This is long and I do think some things could have been edited out. (And I kept wondering why not werewolves too? But then, the book would have been longer and it didn't need to be!)
And it will be interesting how the Conventicle works against the Congregation. (view spoiler)
Sarah is Diana's aunt (mother's sister) and her partner is Emily. Marcus is Matthew's vampire son. Rebecca Bishop/Stephen Proctor were Diana's parents and were murdered. Baldwin is Matthew's vampire brother. Satu and Peter are witches. Agatha is a demon. Yesbeau is Matthew's vampire mother, Martha her housekeeper. Domenico and Gerbert are vampires.
