It taught me some things about owls and black birds....They are omens of death...From evil...I have a few experiences with these animals. A owl hooting when there was no owl and magpies and crows going insane when ever I walked by to sounding like they were choking to death...Then a mural painted in my image of crows and me coming to this dimension in this same body...thanks

I have heard Sheri Whitefeather's name often. I've visited her website, read her excerpts, and I've been wanting to read a book of hers for a long time.
So when I found a Bombshell written by her last year, I figured, why not? I wanted to read the line, I wanted to read the author. How much more perfect a match could it be?
Never Look Back reads like it's part of a series of related books, though I don't know if that's the case. It tells the story of Allie Whirlwind, artist and shaman, and Raven, the man that comes to life after she paints a portrait of a raven-winged angel.
She hasn't really created him. She's tapped into the story of an Apache warrior cursed by her great-grandmother, a powerful Apache witch who tormented him and his wife in life and continues to do so even though she's dead and theoretically power bound. Raven has been cursed to live a hundred years with half a soul, forever separated from the woman he loved and destined for more torture when his century-long sentence ends.
I found the Native mythology in this story pretty interesting. I liked the fact that there were stories from more than one tribe. I know Ms. Whitefeather does her research, so I thought that was handled very well.
I was less impressed with the story as a whole. I think, if I remember correctly, one of the complaints about the Bombshell line was that the books never quite decided what they wanted to be. Action adventure? Romance? Action mystery? Paranormal action? This book suffers from that uncertainty. While the story was compelling enough to make it a quick read, I feel that the reader was only given glimpses of the characters, quick surface skims of what made each of them tick. I thought there was a great deal more exploration that could have been done with Allie and Raven and Daniel. What potential for a fascinating relationship between a contemporary woman and the two men she loved.
The resolution of the book also came very easily, it seemed to me, given the amount of build up about how powerful Zinna, the evil great-grandmother, would be when she returned. I didn't find the ultimate threats very threatening and therefore found the "triumph" very anti-climactic.
It also seemed to me that Allie and Raven's sexual relationship was added as an afterthought. It didn't feel genuine or sincerely motivated.
So all in all, not a terrible book, but a disappointment. I'm not giving up on Ms. Whitefeather after one book, but I don't feel the urge to rush out and buy another in a hurry.
