Bad Impression

Sadie Salt #2

by Ware Wilkins

Paying off the tooth fairy was supposed to make Sadie's life easier. Uh huh.

There's Ingrid, her psychic roommate pregnant with a magic baby. There's also Abe, the former sheriff and dude of Sadie's dreams, now a scarred werewolf with mood swings that come with claws and teeth. And while navigating those two, Sadie's also got Benji... bisexual, enigmatic, and dangerously appealing.

But Sadie's about to realize her relationship woes pale in comparison to the big bad that's in town. Everyone's on the lookout for hunters, and the tension has Sadie jonesing for a teeth fix. She's managed to stay sober of the bone magic, but when cats turn up dead and vampire queens are calling in favors, the appeal of using magic becomes too hard to resist. With too much to lose, Sadie's going to have to decide whether her power can help save her friends and Grimloch, or if using it will make her bite it in a big way.

I've been chomping at the bit to read this since I finished book 1. And now that I read this one, I want the next one too. I love this series. It's just fun. A real delight to read. We have a cast of interesting characters that would make for a killer tv show. And that is kinda how this story plays out in my mind, like a tv show. The story picks up about three months after book one and picks up from there. So if you haven't read book one, I recommend reading it. Like book 1 this doesn't end necessarily on a cliff hanger. Some things are resolved but it's ended in a way that leaves you wanting more and needing the next book.
This is an original series. I've never read about a paranormal dentist. And what I find interesting is that her magic is treated like an addiction. These are 2 ideas that I have come across in the many urban fantasy series I have had. But this is still a light, quick read and is funny.
There is much I would like to say but I'm always worried about mini spoilers and such. Great job Ware Wilkins!! I'm now a fan of yours. I look forward to the next book and anything else you should write in the future.

I love the world, and the secondary characters, but Sadie read like an angsty petulant child in this one. It had a distinctly YA vibe that I didn't care for, and the plot didn't even get going until the 65% mark. I'm really disappointed as there's so much potential. I'd have walked away had I not have read the book 3 blurb and been really curious to see how the plot got there.

***SPOILERS AHAEAD*** I would have given this five stars if I would not have been so unhappy with the development of Sadie's relationship with Abe. I waited anxiously for this second installment in big part because I wanted to see how Abe dealt with being a werewolf and how he was going to relate to Sadie. To see that relationship end so abruptly with the sudden realization on both their parts that they were never really in love with each other was totally disappointing. Her feelings for Benjie came out of nowhere and were a little too convenient considering how things ended up with Abe. I really don't think that she and Benjie make any sense. Yes, I will concede that he has always been there for her but he has just as much baggage as Abe with his mysterious background and his residual feelings for the Vampire "Queen". Also, it's kind of messed up how Abe, Benjie, and Ingrid all got so pissed off at her because she was keeping things from them. Obviously, she was trying to protect them and if they had known her at all they would have known that. She made bad decisions but no one even attempted to get to the bottom of them except for her Uncle Oliver. She had been dealing with a pretty heavy addiction with no one around to really explain or help her with it. She made things pretty clear to Benjie that she was still hung up on Abe so I don't see how she could have possibly been stringing him along. She couldn't tell Abe about Benjie because of his volatile reactions. Duh! But all of a sudden everything is all her fault and she's a terrible person? Unbelievable but they seem to get over it eventually. I really hope Abe finds his way back to his "Salty" because that was one of the main reasons I liked this series so much.

This middle book in the series disappointed me a bit. (Don't worry the third one rocks!) This one felt much more like a Twilighty paranormal romance than a kickass urban fantasy. I was sick of her internal angsting over whether to be with Benji or with Abe. The real action--and wow was there some action--in the story didn't start until three quarters of the way through the book. Warning: the story ends in a huge, huge, huge, cliffhanger/twist. It will send you hurtling toward the third book which is a really great series wrap up.
