I don't know. It's set in our time, and everything is recognizable, but it's an alternate earth where monsters live among the humans. They're the alpha predators, and we know it. And the truce between the humans and the Others is precarious at best. And she ends up turning everyone and everything on its ear in the process.
I don't want to say anything else, but if you're interested in a new urban fantasy series, I personally think this one is really fantastic! View all 43 comments.

I know, I know , but the details, guys! They destroyed me. How do people deal with this?! So she got the stool from the sorting room and used it to climb over the counter. She turned the simple lock to the open position and then realized the simple lock was augmented by a heavy-duty dead bolt I know, I know , but the details, guys!
She turned the simple lock to the open position and then realized the simple lock was augmented by a heavy-duty dead bolt that required a key - which might not be on the key ring she'd left in the sorting room. Stop forgetting the point! And be assured that I don't need to be a werewolf to do it. I just can't do this, okay? I don't need to know every fucking detail and if the character wants to pee and where the bathroom is and - Oh my GOSH. I'm so interested! This is so very long and tedious. Aw hell. I think Anne Bishop is not for me. Moving on. For more of my reviews, please visit May 25, carol.
Remember how I said Half-Off Ragnarok was like sugary breakfast cereal? Written in Red is melt-in-your-mouth goodness targeted squarely at the urban fantasy-paranormal fan whose appeal is intensified by a couple of surprising features. Kudos, Bishop, kudos. A brief prologue orients the reader to the history of the Others, the indigenous spirits of the world, and of humans.
At creation, humans were given isolation to learn and grow, but as they spread throughout the world, they encountered the Others. Humans and Others skirmished, with humans largely on the losing side as the Others control natural resources. Currently, they have forged an uneasy peace, with the Others maintaining compounds in some larger human towns and cities, much like diplomatic enclaves.
The first chapter starts in the city of Lakeland, with Meg on the run during a snowy night. Samuel, dominant wolf and leader of the compound, is vaguely troubled by Meg but gives her the job—after all, they could always eat her. Montgomery, a recently transferred police officer who takes on the role of ambassador for the department with the Others.
I found myself fascinated by the idea of an alternate-history universe where we have many of the same things cars, sneakers, bagels, chick-flicks , the same rough geographic layout the Atlantik Ocean, the Great Lakes but with the threat of the Others looming in the everyday background. Characterization was acceptable, if rather standard for the genre. Meg does develop as she struggles with agency, particularly as she starts to understand more about her own abilities. Likewise, the elemental spirits were well conceptualized, with a sense of indifference to consequences and a selfish focus on their own interests.
Tess was one of my favorites of the Others, with her moody hair and mysterious identity. However, Samuel mostly seemed angry and conflicted, and rarely gave the sense of a confident, focused personality that one might expect as leader of a large, dynamic group. The two other narrative viewpoints of Monty and Asia were also very straightforward.
The police officer might as well have been called Trueheart, and Asia was a one-note scheming narcissist. Actually, what has been perplexing me is that in the wrong mood, I might have easily hated this book. The language is relatively unsophisticated and dialogue-focused. I could probably make a couple of educated guesses at the next book as well. Plotwise, Bishop is clearly setting up the beginnings of a romance, but not until Meg learns her own dominance. And Meg is one marvelous, Speshul Snowflake. To meet her is to love her, apparently.
For a lot of reasons, this could have gone the other way. I devoured the book in one sitting, expected plot, Speshul Snowflakes, anger issues and all. I can only conclude that Bishop is meeting my genre expectations so well, with that flair of intriguing difference, that it was irresistible. In fact, when I finished, I was seriously spent a couple of minutes debating whether I should download the next book on Kindle and keep reading.
It was only discovering that only the first and second books are out, with book three not expected until March and four and five in the works that kept me from an all-night reading binge.

So I re-read this one instead. Additional thoughts: maybe part of the appeal is that it fails to hit my annoyance buttons. Meg has agency, imperfectly realized. She is kind, a quality I value more and more in my old age. She also generally fails to display TSTL traits. And, as cheesy as it sounds, the themes of the book are tolerance and friendship Re-read April Because it's distracting, entertaining and delicious and I've been feeling cruddy.

In this world the creatures that have both a human form and an animal form are not to ever be thought of as human. They might be able to mimic being human to a certain extent but they do not understand most human things and while a few humans might be useful they think of most of them as Meat. Yes you heard me right human are generally dinner in this book and more than one is eaten. It all starts with Meg coming to ask Simon for the Liaison job for the Others in the middle of a snow storm.
She is a Blood Prophet, which means when she cuts her skin she sees prophecies of the future for who or what she is focused on. This also means that whoever she ran away from want her back desperately. A small warning : Meg cuts herself. But we get to learn about the Others with Meg and honestly that is what really made most of this story for me. Wolves were big and scary and so fluffy, how could anyone resist hugging one just to feel all that fur? But if that is happening I think it will take awhile and be a slow burn. Still it was just enough that it satisfied the need I usually have for romance in my books.
He watched her, listened to her, and knew she was truly asleep. He kissed her forehead and found the act pleasing for its own sake. And, he admitted as he licked his lips, it was enjoyable for other reasons. So if you are tired of the same old werewolf vampire story that usually involves a love triangle then this could be for you. I enjoyed the plot, the set-up of the world and some of the main characters and just how unusual and different this story was. Completely unconventional and totally enchanting.

I apologise in advance. I won't say that Written in Red was a surprise for me. I already knew I was likely to appreciate it, thanks to some reviews I had read and, above all, thanks to a couple of friends of mine who claimed this series was a hidden jewel of the urban-fantasy world. So, no, I'm not surprised that the quality of this book is so high; but for sure I am astonished by how much I enjoyed , loved and adored it.
If you have already read some of my reviews, you must know I never provide a short summary of the plot, not even the slightest description of what the book is about, before writing down my opinions. Very probably, more than a few details emerge just the same, given how specific I tend to be when analyzing the different element of the book, but that's all.
WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW?
You will almost never find in my reviews a sentence like "This book tells about". Even more so, you won't find it in this one. I knew literally nothing about the plot when I started reading Written in Red , except that there were werewolves and vampires, and I strongly feel this played a part in my overall enjoyment, which, as you may have guessed, was very, very high.
