Summary: It was pretty good...
Review: Dan Cody is definitely Crow material. A cowboy who is about to propose to the Native American woman he loves when both are ruthlessly slaughtered.

However despite the potential for a great book here I found myself somewhat bored. I never truly connected with the book's hero, Cody.

Nor did I end up disliking the "bad guys" (Kyra and Johnny) the way I was intended to.

All in all I feel that Johnny was the best character in the book and I am sure that wasn't intended. ;)

Summary: Excellant reading,and very enjoyable characters!
Review: From the very start "I LOVED" this story! After reading "Temple of Night" I needed redemption : ) What enjoyed most about this book, is that the author gave the actual bird alot of read time thru out the story not just a few random flashbacks. Loved the characters,with alot of wickedness,attitude and humor at the same time. The bad guys were more fun to read ,and enjoy than the actual crow(good guy}. The ending was kind of anticlimatic,so I had to give it 4****,but overall I say its a great read check it out

Summary: A Wicked Book
Review: I should start by saying that I normally don't read media tie-in books. The only exception being the Crow series. I've read all the novels in this series for the sole reason that each novels stands alone and creates it's own story. By far Norman Partridge's take on the Crow mythos is the best I've read. It's also the first novel I've read by this author and it definitely wont be the last.

The core of the story stays true to the heart of The Crow mythology. A pure love denied due to some tragic occurrence. One of the lovers rises from the dead to set right that which was taken from him, all under the guidance of a supernatural crow. It's a story of love, tragedy, vengeance and redemption.

Dan Cody is the vessel for the crow in this novel. One night all that he loves is taken from him. The two villains, Kyra Damon and Johnny Church, have been lead to a road stop in the desert by a talking shrunken head who promises immortality and power beyond belief. From there the story leads into a road trip through hell as the two take off to claim their power and a dead man attempts to stop them.

Partridge's writing is truly powerful. The book is filled with nightmarish landscapes, both real and imaginary. The images are incredibly vivid. The momentum of the story takes off with breakneck speed and doesn't let up for a minute. The characters are very well developed, each with a fascinating background story. Especially the villains, Kyra Damon is definitely one of the nastiest people ever to grace a page.

This novel isn't just for fans of the Crow, it has something for all readers. Packed with action, horror, romance and a little dash of comedy, it's sure to please. I can't wait to read more by this talented author.

Summary: I always enjoy a great read when I have a lot of downtime
Review: I took this book with me when I took a flight to Mississippi for eye surgery. I started reading it on the way there, and after I got my surgery, I couldn't stand to read anything with my eyes hurting so bad. I was so disappointed that I could not finish the book right then and there, I was very into the plot from the beginning. The man in the beginning had a lot of mystery behind him and I was left wanting to know so much more. When I was able to start reading again, I could not put this book down.

Summary: Not horrible, but not great...(potential spoilers)
Review: I'm usually the optimist who likes everything, but in this case I must say I did not like this book too much. The central character of Dan Cody certainly has the motivation of a Crow, but he's cursed with not having some of the common abilities of the Crows we have known in the past (although there is a reason for that, explained in the book). Unfortunately, this causes the book to be an exercize in frustration at times.

The book starts out strong, but really fizzles towards the middle and end. If you can get this book at the discount price, I recommend it. But at full price I felt a bit ripped off.
