Holy cow this is really good! The level of detail on the procedural aspects is astounding. Like, better than a lot of crime-dramas on television...

Oh. My. Gawd. How much do I love it when there's a reference to another well-loved series in my book?

"I know it's not a ghost. Ghosts don't make telephone calls. If they did, everyone and their brother would be getting rings from late Aunt Gertrude complaining that they weren't feeding her beloved Mittens the right wet food"

Jun snorted. "A reality like that would require Victor Bayne on speed dial."

A general reminder to you guys: I'm trying not to spam your feeds by batch editing TBR books that I'm re-shelving so they'll probably trickle in a bit at a time. Sorry!!!

OMG. Aubrey is already a million times more likeable than Sebastian. I keep giggling every time he calls the body he found in the wall "Skelly."

(Also, even though this is not a part of that series, it's supposed to take place after Snow & Winter #2...but I didn't read that one yet! I hope that's not gonna nag on my mind the whole time I'm reading this one.)

Corbin is kind of breaking my heart with all of these imaginary friends...

Something about it reminds me a little bit of A Solid Core of Alpha.

Haven't actually started this yet...might fit another challenge so waiting to begin.

Challenge read: Drink on cover

Is it me or does this book feel like it should be part of (or an offshoot of) that London PNR series Barbara wrote? It's been a year since I read #3 but that whole council, supernatural and angel angle feels familiar and the only books I could find in my already-read shelf that came close was her previous series.

I'm re-shelving so I apologize if your feeds get spammed with all my books.

Also, it's a good thing I'm not reading this because I'd have highlighted the majority of the book already...because it's hilarious & cutting, snarky and observant. I'm convinced that Crash is my Spirit Animal. Seriously, yet one more reason I think JCP is a genius.

Besides loving that cover, I'm completely head over heels for this story.

Not feeling it...will revisit later.

I recently bitched about the weird spelling an author uses to impart some sort of Southern accent on a character and how much I hate it.

ONE PARAGRAPH into this story - without anything other than the ubiquitous "ya'll" and referring to his parent's as Momma and Daddy - and I can totally tell this character is from Texas.

That's giving good dialogue! Already earning points from me here Mr. Boehme.

OMG. "Why do we want these people from all these shithole countries here?" Are you effing kidding me? And Cheetolini thinks that the Russia Investigation is what's making America the laughing stock of the world? JFC.

Holy hell...the sex in this story is hot AF! Tristan James is delivering this for me in a BIG way.

Okay, the torture and rape scenes are definitely rough...but at this point the story also has an almost satirical Inferno-esque feel to it. Weird.

Another Pushing Boundaries Challenge read...I think I'mma need some hand-holding for this one as the category is Horror and I know Bey can be brutal.

Hey! There's Chinese pinyin cursing in this story that I don't even have to look up for translation! Thanks Firefly!

About effing time!!!

OMG Chuckie is the gay male equivalent of Regina George.

Oh Jeeze - this conversation between Dog and his mom is killing me.

OMG "Leo" apply for this job is hilarious! I just can't even get over how funny this whole book is turning out to be.

Hell yeah...Dog totally had that coming! I wish I could see his credit card statement when it comes.

OMG Dog walked out of the restaurant? In the middle of dinner? When Lionel was already stressing about having to pay for his half if it wasn't a real date? Holy shit. Oh fuck. The second-hand embarrassment and stress over this whole ordeal is giving me a stomach ache.

OMG, I'm only like 10 minutes into the story but I'm laughing my ass off already! Joel is seriously bringing his A-game for the audio...

Also, I really like Marshall's style given the few other books I've read by him (Boystown & Pinx) but HOLY HELL this is NOTHING like those. I'm kind of blown away by that difference.

Other than sleeping, I think these past 3 hours are the longest I've spent away from a book all year...

GO DAWGS!

At the Half: UGA 13 vs ALA 0 (<---That's a ZERO.)
