Editoral Review
Bad Attitude by Sherrilyn Kenyon is a gripping novel that is sure to satisfy fans of the mystery and thriller genres. Kenyon is a prolific author, best known for her Dark Hunter series, and this standalone novel features her trademark suspenseful writing and complex characters.
Set in modern-day Baton Rouge, Bad Attitude follows the story of Nick Gautier, a troubled teenager with a criminal past who quickly realizes he has a talent for fighting and an uncanny ability to stay alive, no matter what the odds. When a mysterious woman named Kyrian Hunter takes him under her wing and offers him a chance to join her secret society of demon hunters, Nick jumps at the opportunity, even if it means risking his life.
At its core, Bad Attitude is a story about redemption and the power of second chances. Nick is a flawed protagonist, but he is also fiercely loyal and determined to do the right thing, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
Kenyon’s writing is crisp and forceful, with just the right amount of humor and heart to keep readers engaged from start to finish. One of the biggest strengths of Bad Attitude is its vivid descriptions of the city of Baton Rouge and the surrounding Louisiana landscape.
Kenyon’s love for her hometown shines through in every chapter, adding an extra layer of depth to the story and immersing readers in the world of Nick and his fellow demon hunters. However, the book does suffer from a few pacing issues and a slightly predictable plot.
Some of the secondary characters are also underdeveloped, which can make it difficult to fully invest in their stories. These minor flaws aside, Bad Attitude is still a thrilling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
Overall, Bad Attitude is a solid addition to Kenyon’s impressive body of work, and a must-read for fans of the genre. It’s a tale of action, redemption, and the power of friendship and family, with a healthy dose of humor and heart thrown in for good measure.
If you’re looking for a fast-paced, engaging read that will leave you wanting more, Bad Attitude is definitely worth picking up. Rating: 4/5
