Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Down by the river, the very first to go missing were not much lamented. Disappearances of homeless men foraging through trash or nuisance skater kids who rolled their boards along the planked piers at night were not noteworthy enough to delay the city’s development projects.
 
But deep beneath the riverbank, the evidence of a terrible crime has been covered up twice. When a TVA dam falters and the river swells, panic rises downtown. As the Tennessee creeps over its banks, it dredges up death from its own polluted bed. Twenty-nine victims of a long-ago slaughter walk when the water rises, patrolling the banks and dragging the living down to a muddy grave. No one remembers how they died and no one knows what they want.
 
Some secrets are never washed away. Instead they are patient, biding their time. They wait for the water to lift them so they can prowl for the justice that was denied them ninety years ago. But in ninety years a city’s shape changes, and where justice can no longer be found, vengeance may have to suffice.
 
The city of Chattanooga is about to learn a terrible truth about the things a river can and cannot hide…. And reluctant medium Eden Moore may be the only one who can dissuade the twenty- nine bodies from adding hundreds of its citizens to their ghastly ranks.
 
Not Flesh Nor Feathers is a stand-alone sequel to Four and Twenty Blackbirds and Wings to the Kingdom.

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Not as good as the very first two, but still a good read
I think Cherie Priest has really set the bar high, both for the horror genre, and for her own works. This means that I've come to expect some really spectacular work from her, since she's a very talented author.

Unfortunately, occasionally when an author is really good, a particular work may not come across quite as strong as others. This is true with "Not Flesh Nor Feathers". I'll admit that while I liked it, it just wasn't quite as good as the very first two Eden Moore books. The pacing is slow in comparison, which probably hurts the book more than anything else. I kept waiting for something more to happen, and the ending just seemed rather anticlimactic.

That being said, I really think Priest is doing a bang-up job of developing the overall storyline of Eden Moore's universe. I won't spoil it for people who haven't read it yet, but let me just say she takes Malachi and Nick in some interesting directions. Eden herself has some, ah, odd occurrences. I will say I'm a little concerned about her going the way of LKH's Anita Blake and heading into Mary sue territory just a wee bit. However, given Priest's superior character building ability, I'm placing my bet on her rescuing her main character from that fate.

Despite my criticisms, I'm still very glad I bought "Not Flesh Nor Feathers". There are some key plot developments here that shouldn't be missed, and even with the slow pacing it's still a highly enjoyable read.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - The Last Eden Moore Book is the Best One Yet!
I've loved each of the preceding Eden Moore books, but Not Flesh Nor Feathers is by far the best of the trilogy. It starts out tense, with two children trapped in a building as the flood waters rise, but the pacing and the excitement only ratchet up from there. From the fury of a mysterious ghost, who can actually hurt Eden where other ghosts are barely corporal, to the dark fury rising over the city with the river, the story only continues to pick up steam, growing more exciting page by page. It was hard to put the book down, and when I did, it still haunted my dreams.

If you're looking for a thrilling, expertly-told ghost story that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, Not Flesh Nor Feathers is a great pick.

And I'll keep my fingers crossed that the author will be inspired to start another trilogy starring Eden Moore.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - A romp through the river
I wasn't as impressed with Not flesh Nor Feathers, as with Priest's last two books. A couple characters felt wooden...the sense of danger wasn't as palpable, and the pacing was slow and made the book harder to get into. The romantic tension between two characters wasn't very obvious and was rather surprising to note. This took away some of my enjoyment.

That said, I did enjoy the overall story and the mystery and how it was solved. I think the character of Eden is becoming more complex and I'm looking forward to what will happen next. I just hope that the pacing will be developed more in the style of the previous two books.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A fantastic finish to a great trilogy
Prepare to be up all night! Three times in a row, Priest has written a book I couldn't put down. Once again she has woven a fantastic storyline for our heroine. The story flows beautifully, is easy to read but not 'dumbed down', is realistic(as realistic as river zombies can be, at least!), and keeps you guessing from page to page.

I highly recommend this, as well as her other 4 novels!





Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Not Flesh Nor Feathers
I was so sad to see the Eden Moore trilogy come to a close, but Not Flesh Nor Feathers was a wonderful way to end. The book had just the right amount of creepy and just the right amount of adventure. It was a delight to get lost in the pages and follow Eden on her adventure. I have thrust this series on all of my book loving friends. If you like tales of things that go bump in the night, pick up a Cherie Priest book. You will not be disappointed.
