- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2016This is the third (and sadly it appears the last in this series). It is a great series; Ms Priest is a great writer. The characters have become friends and I am going to miss them.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2011(Bk 3/Eden Moore series) Modern southern gothic. Set in Chattanooga, we meet up with Eden Moore again. She still sees & hears ghosts, which is a good thing because there are things in the river, things that are killing people and as it rains endlessly, the river starts to flood and Eden finds out the zombies in the water are empty - except for the angriest little girl (cue creepy music). So Eden has to turn to a ghost to find out why the things are coming and what they want...Or try to. Interesting B characters or sub-A, if you will, help lend the story depth and once again, Priest's atmopshere building talents are great.
Anyway, I find it hard to think this will be the last Eden Moore, as there are new story possibilites and open ties everywhere - which I don't want to list as it will be a spoiler for this story but I really hope there are more to come someday.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2025Great story...wish I could listen to it on Audible.
Why no Audible edition?
- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020I recently discovered this author, which is a shame as I’m from the area in the Eden trilogy. I would easily give the whole trilogy five stars, except for two things..... I really wanted more Eden and Nick and was disappointed they didn’t reconnect after the flood. Secondly, if this is all we’re ever going to hear from Eden again it’s a damn shame!! The author has created a very unique character in Eden and should not even be close to putting her to rest. Please, Ms. Priest, more Eden!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2007The above title line is a reference to the central event and chief threats in this well-spun tale of terror, horror and historical drama. Like other river towns, from Johnstown, PA to New Orleans, Chattanooga, TN at the beginning of Cherie Priest's Nor Flesh Nor Feathers is threatened by rising water...and other, more viscerally terrifying things.
The resourceful, articulate and courageous heroine of the previous two volumes in this trilogy, Eden Moore, faces questions and crises she needs all of her powers to face, and answer. The transient and marginal characters who lend Chattanooga a funky underclass are disappearing. Drawn into searching for causes, Eden over about three days goes through events that stretch her to the utmost of her physical and psychic limits.
There are a few references to the devastation of New Orleans following Katrina, but Chattanooga has its own history of floods, including one in the 1800s which allowed a small steamboat to use a major street as an impromptu canal. What happens in Priest's book is not far-fetched, at least as pertains to flooding, and the events are convincingly described.
The supernatural element, of course, is another thing, and is done quite well, as in the earlier two books in the Eden Moore saga. "Genre fiction," in which category this novel is included, like all other types of fiction must first be a good story, well-told and written. As with the previous two books, Four and Twenty Blackbirds, and Wings to the Kingdom, Cherie Priest has filled that requirement. A very rewarding read.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2007The other reviewers tell the basic outline of the book. I love Cherie Priest's Eden Moore novels, each one gets better and better. Personally, I find them fascinating, and not at all creepy: Stephen King is the master at that.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2015Great read, great author.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2008I picked this up in the library, because it looked captivating. And it was! But... I had to go grab the first two books and read them before this made ANY sense. You cannot read this alone. As others have gone into the plot, I will do more of a description of the series, from a newcomer's perspective.
I did go back and grab the first two. Finding Eden's past and all about her Ghost Whisperer abilities was, in a way, more captivating than this third book. This book had more of a sense of physical danger than the other two, but the other two were spookier. Especially the second.
The ambiance created by the author is lush and vivid. I have never been to Tennesee, and will probably never go. But I feel the life of the city from the author's eyes - and the bittersweet taste of a disappointed 20-something is reminiscent of my own days in my own city at that age. Her love affair with Greyfriars, an independent coffee house, and her friendship with sk8ter boyz who won't grow up are examples of this mindset. The entire series does skew young, but we oldsters can read it.
The author is very verbose, and in a different hand, these books would be much shorter. For the amount of wordage, there is actually surprisingly little covered. But the atmosphere is worth it.
I do like the way this book closes out - we are no longer in the same rut that we have been in the first 3 books. There are changes in the characters which have been building but have now exploded. I cannot tell anymore without giving away key pieces of the plot.
I would recommend the first in this series first, and if you like it, continue on, for they are all of the same flavor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too much dialogue
This is the 6th book I've read by Cherie Priest, but it may be the last. Cherie Priest is a good author, arguably a great one The first of these Eden Moore Books [ Four and Twenty Blackbirds An Eden Moore Story By Priest, Cherie , Paperback, Feb- 10- 2012 ] won an award and undoubtedly deserved it. There are also the Cheshire Red Books Bloodshot: 1 (Cheshire Red Reports 1) and Hellbent (Cheshire Red Reports, Book 2) by Priest, Cherie (2011) Paperback which if not terribly original - vampire families - are to my mind the most entertaining. However she is most famous for Steampunk. Now I've read Boneshaker (The Clockwork Century Book 1) - and yes it is good and hugely inventive - but it is too long. About 100 pages too long, I'm afraid there is just too much dialogue. And that is the problem here. Yes I know with a first person narrative other people have to tell you what has happened elsewhere, but here there are pages and pages of discussing what to do, what has been done and even discussing what other people might be doing. Too much..about 50 pages too much. A shame because there is lots of great stuff here.
