I LOVE mystery with my UF!! I love the twists and turns that make the characters interact. I try to help solve the mystery with them and try to pick up clues along the way..

Ooooh what tangled webs writers weave. I love stories that have many hidden secrets, seeing the twists and turns, and reading how characters develop and react to each other. Mysteries often disappoint me because the author reveals too much or too little, but if they are done right those are the ones that I don’t put down.

Thanks Jennifer for having Stacey as a guest, I will be adding her to my list of must reads. And thank you Stacey for taking the time to blog here as well! <3

Yes, I do like mystery in urban fantasy novels. It brings out the intellectual side of the characters. Also, mysteries usually involve murder which add an emotional element. As an investigation digs into an individual’s psyche (thoughts, motivations, and personality) it adds depth to a story and it’s characters. Plus, the hero/heroine are brought together by something external besides a flaming case of the hormones, although some cases are acceptable when well-written.

Patricia Briggs’ Alpha & Omega and Mercy Thompson series are choice examples of the mystery/urban fantasy blend. Cry Wolf is my favorite.

I do love a bit of mystery in what I read… but I’m the kind of person who has to read the last page of a book. I’m silly that way, I guess I want to be surprised all at once and sometimes it builds a lot more mystery and suspense and then I can’t stop reading.
