Echoed Defiance by Kristen BanetMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Superb Urban Fantasy
KN Banet, or Kristen Banet as she was when this series first started, is a superb writer. No matter the genre of work I find her characters rich and deep, her world building complex and her plots captivating.
This book pulled all those things together in an exceptional way. It also dealt with some deep history and issues surrounding family that Jacky had never dealt with.
As the American liaison for the werecats, Jacky gets a call asking her to come and help a human that has been asking for her by name. It ties into issues that seem to have been cropping up with the Russian werewolf pack and as a result Heath insists on coming with Jacky. When they arrive they find that the matter is a lot worse than they thought and the human in trouble is someone from Jacky’s past.
There is a lot of emotional spade work in this book and slightly less action than usual. There is is still plenty of plot to keep you occupied but the driving force in this book is Jacky dealing with her baggage and how she relates to her werecat family and the rest of the supernatural world. It’s complex, subtle and intriguing writing and I devoured the book in one sitting.
Jacky Leon has rapidly become one of my favourite Urban Fantasy characters and this book is a perfect example of why. Read the series, it’s excellent and I’m sure the rest that’s yet to come will be equally brilliant.
