Awesome wrap-up to an amazing series, Oct 30 2011
By Mary - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Angel Town (Mass Market Paperback)
Positive: The awesome wrap-up to an amazing series. Oh, holy cow. Lilith Saintcrow certainly knows how to draw out the tension. Throughout the first five books, trouble continued to build, the Nightside got creepier and more aggressive, and Jill ran herself ragged. This sixth and final book weaves together every thread, pulling together all the frayed edges into a beautifully rendered Gordian knot.Positive: Jill Kismet. Wow. What a kick-ass heroine. She's scarred and almost broken but she just keeps fighting back, unwilling to let those she loves die at the hands of the dark forces that seep through every crack in her beloved town. I compare every other urban fantasy heroine to Jill Kismet and, sadly for them, many come up short. She's someone I'd want defending my back, should my town ever be overrun my demons (or zombies or blood-thirsty bunnies or whatever).
Positive: The worldbuilding. Santa Luz is a dark, troubled town filled with people who are willing to bargain away their humanity for power. But there are people around who battle to protect the town, people like Jill. A hunter, Jill works with the police, who call her when things get...weird. I love how each hunter has his or her special way of dealing with the Nightside and own belief system, how silver spits sparks when darkness comes, and how the demons have a slimy, politician-like charm.
Wish: Do we have to leave this world? Don't wanna.
Overall: Jill Kismet will forever have a place in my heart. Write on, Lilith Saintcrow.

A fitting end to the series, Nov 27 2011

I loved this series when I first started it and whipped right through the first four books. However, Book 5, Heaven's Spite, was just too grim for me. There's always been a tremendous amount of violence, blood and guts in this series, but at the same time, I never got the sense that all was hopeless. Unfortunately, in book 5, I did get that sense and I had to put it down. I never was able to finish it, but I had no doubt that I would be reading Angel Town, the final book, as soon as it came out. Angel Town turned out to be a fitting end to a tough, hard-hitting, pull-no-punches Urban Fantasy. No, everything wasn't sweetness and light. Jill still had some tough adventures to get through and she was hampered by the fact that she was missing big chunks of her memory at the beginning of the story. However, in the end, it all came together. All of the tantalizing clues and happenings though out the other books pulled together into a coherent whole. Sure there were a few loose ends, but the major plot lines were all neatly pulled together and resolved.Jill is a great character, so afraid that her bargain with Perry has taken her own soul, yet so sure that she has to protect "her" town and its people. She never hesitates to sacrifice herself for that goal even though there are no real rewards for what she does. She's a true heroine. Don't try to pick this book up if you haven't read the others, you'll be hopelessly lost. Start from the beginning and be prepared for non-stop action and a great thrill ride of a story.

A great ending!, Nov 2 2011
By Jessica S. "Vamp Girl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Angel Town (Mass Market Paperback)
SPOILERS FROM HEAVEN'S SPITE IN REVIEW, DO NOT READ IF HAVEN'T READ HEAVEN'S SPITE AND PLAN TO DO SO!Lilith Saintcrow's final book in the Jill Kismet series, Angel Town, wraps things up nicely!
As you might remember Jill died last time at the end, so when the new book came out I was wondering what was going to happen. And the answer was quite simple, she came back. That's nothing new in the world of the supernatural, it's more shocking when someone stays dead! So Jill returns, yet her memory is slow to come back.
But she's not without it the entire time or anything, it actually comes back faster than I thought it would. Of course there are still things she doesn't always remember about herself. She may know she's Jill, but she doesn't remember 100% who Jill is. Get it?
Besides trying to gain her complete memory back, Jill has to save the world. Only this time she's going to need some help. There's also the pesky Pericles that she still has to deal with as well.
Things between Jill and Saul aren't the same though. Saul was in a bad place himself when he found out Jill died. When she returns though he's determined to never let her leave his sight again.
I don't want to get into a lot of details about this one since it is a series ender. Which it was really good too! Thought the ending was good with many surprises towards the end!
Overall rating 4/5 stars
