Gray Bishop by Kelly Meade

3.0

Gray Bishop is a unique spin on the werewolf/vampire tropes that we’ve grown accustomed to. There are some interesting and at times, exciting new elements that keep the reader engaged but overall this book just wasn’t for me. I didn’t hate it though nor did I particularly care for it. I don’t recommend reading the book as a stand alone. I think had I read the first book that perhaps I would have been more invested in the characters. As it was, I found myself unable to connect to the story. Also, there was very little that was accomplished in the story. There weren’t really any big secrets revealed or mysteries solved. Nothing that really made the story arc exciting. Things just kind of happened. I almost DNF’d the book a few times, it was difficult to stay interested but the writing is solid. The world-building was unique, the characters were like able. There seemed to be a lot of information dumps that I wished were woven throughout the story better and there needed to be more ‘showing’. It just wasn’t really for me. On a lighter note, Kelly does have other series that I have genuinely enjoyed so this one hiccup won’t stop me from reading more from her.
