Status Updates From Infernal (Repairman Jack, #9)

"The tennis-ball-sized mark sat on [Vicky's] upper back between her shoulder blades. Black… Sharpie-pen black, with lightly feathered margins. Ugly and… scary. A huge melanoma? But no. Impossible. It hadn’t been there this morning when Gia had helped her get dressed." This might be a nitpick, but since when do nine year-olds need help getting dressed? It's weird.

I'm not superstitious, but if I had lived through even half the shit Jack has, I'd avoid the following places: Stonehenge, Native American burial grounds, the Vatican (just in case), haunted houses/forests, the Great pyramids, Mordor. And, oh yeah, the Bermuda triangle.

"Cadiz, Spain March 6, 1598" Wait... what? RJ books #2-8 didn't time hop at all, but now #9 is going balls out. Four centuries plus.

The weird stuff is finally starting to happen. I'll probably finish this weekend.

I wish I could take the day off and read. All day. That would be loverly.

Ah, it's good to be back in the world of Repairman Jack.

Oh no, Gia and Tom are going to the opera. I'm dreading this.

I had to laugh at Benny the Brit and his terrible fake Cockney London accent! Tom had an ominous warning from a girl with a dog but didn't tell Jack.

It's getting interesting now that Jack and Tom are on the ocean plus the mystery of what's on the Spanish ship.

Well, there's not much happening yet is there.

Rereading the series in preparation for the release of Nightworld in May. Can't wait!

in typical Repairman Jack fashion it is a page-turner!
