Review: Team Inez (House of Garner Series Book 2) by Erin R Flynn

Team Inez by Erin R. Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I always feel weird giving a 4 star review to a book I devoured and immediately want to read the next book in the series. I feel I should be rating it more highly. Inez is a great character, she is young, powerful, has a gaping hole in her identity and tries to the best that she can for everyone around her. She’s also a crack sniper shot and great at the logistics of killing the corrupted. I am conflicted on whether she is too harsh or too forgiving though, as there seems to an inconsistency to her personality there, but I suppose we are all inconsistent in some ways because we are all flawed and unique.

Team Inez grows substantially in this book. Shifters become an important part of their group and will fill up the coven when it finally stops travelling. At least the travelling has become a lot more comfortable as Inez has grown in power and skill. She has the assistance of some very old and powerful vampires who are helping her reach her potential a lot more quickly than most vampires have to, because they are sure that she will attacked once word gets out about her abilities and age.

One of the things that lets down this book, and others by this author, is that it sometimes gets a bit tied up in knots trying outline complex plans and methods of conquering the world. It’s nice for the reader, in limited doses, to know how everything is to be achieved by the characters, but you don’t need to know all the minutiae about how they are going to feed everyone or who goes on what trips to achieve what. I appreciate the author's attention to detail but it sometimes breaks the flow of the story and confuses the reader with information that isn’t strictly speaking necessary to the plot. None of this enough to make me want to stop reading or even delay reading the next in the series, so it can’t be that annoying, but I feel I have to deduct points for it.

It’s a great book and I can’t wait to see what happens next on their journey.
