Description During Books Inhuman Resources (OSI #3)
This book was a bit more procedural-based than action-based compared to the previous two books in the series: I do love the C.S.I. (OSI) evidence and explanations, but I ultimately prefer my urban fantasy to resolve itself through choice and action. The first 2/3 of the book was great, but when Tess goes into a different realm (Lucien's home base) for help and information, there is suddenly several chapters of high fantasy world building. And the world is beautiful. The problem is that nothing really happens. Tess and Lucien get some information and then leave. I really needed them to get into some trouble and fight their way in or out. Instead, it felt like chapters of descriptive scenery. The ending also felt too convenient. Finally, instead of letting Mia and Patrick contribute to the fight as they did in the last book, they ended up just helpless victims. It was much more fun when all the characters were engaged. Still a good book and it doesn't dissuade me from continuing with the series.Present Containing Books Inhuman Resources (OSI #3)

"Jesus, look at that." "What?" "The couch." "It's clean." "I know. It's just so ugly." "Is it from IKEA?" "Urban Barn. I recognized it from the catalogue." "We have an Urban Barn catalogue?" "Yea, we got it in the mail." "When?" "Thursday." "Oh my god.....how gay are you? Did you actually hide the Urban Barn catalogue from me so you could read it first?" Occult Special Investigator Tess Corday has survived certain death only to gain a few additional "responsibilities". So between kids, dogs, anOh. wow. And not in a good way. I am so lost I can't even go any further. Honestly, I'm about fifty pages in and I have no idea what's going on. First, I have no idea what status the supernatural holds in this author's world. Are they commonly known by the general population? Is this a secret world? Considering how the book begins this information is a really important omission. What are the character relationships? It's really hard to tell.I don't think this is just a serious failing on the
Completed Inhuman Resources (Occult Special Investigations, Book 3) by Jes Battis. Best book yet in Battis OSI series. Included a visit to Trinovantum, the hidden extradimensional city of the Necromancers. Extraordinarily imaginative. My only regret with this series is that we have to wait a year between volumes.
Tess's most recent case involves a murdered necromancer, and the necromancers are edgy about it--expecting the case to be solved, but unwilling to share information. To add to things, Tess is concerned about Patrick and Mia, and Lucian is distancing himself. When she goes to speak to a bird demon informant and is attacked by a necromancer right after, it's clear there are problems among the necromancers as well.
The third book in the series really starts to explain more about the necromancers in this world and the ideas are pretty cool. The main mystery is trying to figure out who killed a high ranking necromancer and having to do the investigation when no one wants any non necromancer in their society. I didn't care for the ending that much but I'll give the next book in the series a go since I like the setting and the overall story arc is interesting.
