FLIGHT FROM MAYHEM, book two in Yasmine Galenorn's new
Fly
By Night series has Shimmer and company looking into
a series of bizarre deaths that could be the work of an
Otherworld serial killer. Add Alex's ex Glenda ramping up
her bitchy ways and a haunted house across the street
from Shimmer's bungalow and you have a very entertaining
read.
Although the Fly By Night series is an offshoot from
Yasmine Galenorn's Otherworld
series, it is very much a
stand-alone grouping of books. There is a bridge of sorts
between the two series in the crossover novella FLIGHT FROM
HELL encapsulating some information about Shimmer
and how she ended up Earthside, as well as going into
detail on a few things mentioned early in book one of the
Fly by Night series (FLIGHT FROM DEATH) but you can
begin
with FLIGHT FROM DEATH without too much difficulty as
Galenorn does a nice job of filling in backstory without
bogging down the book.
As much as I enjoy Galenorn's Otherworld series,
it does
get a tiny bit unwieldy with switching points of view
depending on which book you were reading. This series
sticks to Shimmer's point of view, and is that much
easier to follow.
Galenorn's trademark fully action packed storyline is
very much in evidence in FLIGHT FROM MAYHEM, but a strong
and very satisfying part of Shimmer's story is her
reaction to living within a highly populated city, and
her exploration of what it means to have connections with
people who care about her. FLIGHT FROM MAYHEM deepens
that journey into relationship without sacrificing one
iota of excitement. I was engrossed from first page to
last, and am eagerly awaiting book three!
New York Times bestselling author Yasmine Galenorn
presents the second Fly by Night novel, set in the realm of
the Otherworld.
I'm Shimmer, a blue dragon shifter. Thanks to a mistake,
I was exiled from the Dragon Reaches and sentenced to work
for gorgeous, exasperating Alex Radcliffe, a vampire who
owns the Fly by Night Magical Investigations Agency. Every
time I turn around, somebody's trying to kill us. But you
know what they say: All's fair in love and bounty hunting...
A serial killer is stalking the elderly Fae of Seattle,
draining their bank accounts before brutally murdering them.
When Chase Johnson asks for our help, Alex and I discover
that the sociopath is also a shifter—able to change shape to
match his victim's deepest desires. Our friend and colleague
Bette volunteers to act as bait, but the plan goes
dangerously awry. Now, unless we find her first, she's about
to face her worst nightmare.
