Dead Witch Walking

I recently read the twilight series, closely follwed by the Sookie Stackhouse series. Both were excellent in their own way. But I craved more of the supernatural world, what can i say? i love reading about that stuff. So I went to my scifi bookclub store and browsed around looking for another series to hold me over until the next sookie book is available (may 9th) and found these books about a witch named Rachel who hunts baddies. I thought hmmm, maybe. So then i read the reader reviews and everyone loved these books. So I thought ok, I'll give them a try and ordered the set. I's been about 3 weeks and i am still in the first book. i try to read it as often as i can, i just find myself bored with it. I keep telling myself that maybe it's just the first book, that once the author has all the back story laid out things will click and move more quickly. i really hate it when i think a book is going to be great, even good, and it falls short of my expectations. Meanwhile i have the third fablehaven book sitting and waiting to be read, a book i am sure will meet my expectations as the first two have exceeded them. i will continue to plug along until i at least finish the first book before moving into fable haven for a few days (that's right i usually finish a good book in 2-4days).
