dsrtao In The Black, Patrick S. Tomlinson.
Competent FTL space opera, clearly book one, does not end with a finished story. Book 2 and presumably 3: want. Glad to find in the epilogue that the character I didn't like, I wasn't supposed to like.
A Killing Frost, Seanan McGuire
Book 14 in the Toby Day, Knight-Errant of Faerie San Francisco series. I deduced the clue at, I think, the point where the author wanted me to know it ahead of the characters. Not as scary or horrific as many of the others.
Sucker Punch, Laurell Hamilton
Anita Blake Number Somewhere between 26 and 29. Hamilton proves she can write a decent mystery which does not get derailed by polycule calendaring algorithms, 300 page sex scenes, or end-of-the-world level supernatural threats. Not only am I surprised, but it appears, based on her blog, that she is too. Anita does not gain a new power, nor does she level up an old one.
