"Your heart is in the right place, which is the only reason we're having this discussion."
"Where else would it be?" This concerned Miko. Nasir had never told him there was an alternative location.
OMFG I love strangely literal people; it's probably why Anya was my favorite Buffy character.

"Our current leader...he regulates tax cuts to all the bigwigs...Companies that make a shitload of money and feed it all right back into the pockets of the government...The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer, and if there's something we can do to stop it, we have to take that chance."


Word.

Also, this futuristic, dystopian setting is disturbingly realistic given today's political climate.

I needed something Non-Sweet for the Whips & Kisses challenge...and since I don't have the time for Evenfall or Special Forces, and I think Bloodraven might scar me for life, I figured I'd give this one a whirl. (Not in the mood for an audio or else I'd use the 2nd Captive Prince.)

I'm not happy he's dead or anything - especially if he was murdered - but man, Theo sounds like a world-class dick.

HA! In a discussion about Vampire types it's always the Anne Rice vs. Twilight versions, with a stray mention of the True Blood kind. It's the same here, but with the addition of TBDB. But, how much do I love that the MC also throws in the Vampires from Night Watch/Day Watch? Awesomely obscure reference there Santino...bravo!

Oh gawd, I'm only half-way. I kind of feel like I'm at the bottom of the Navajo Trail in Bryce canyon, looking up at all the switchbacks I'll have to traverse to get back up to the top so I can get in the car and pass out on the way home.

I can't find my snapshot of me almost dying to complete the climb (took forever but I did!), but this is what the trail looks like:

Argh, I can't catch a break with Joel Leslie narrations; it's either really good or a complete miss. In this one, Angelus sounds like my 70yr old neighbor yelling at his grandkids to keep the music down while Simeon is a hot drink o'water with that sexy Irish brogue. *sigh*

OMG, usually I'm good with pet names and whatnot, but ISTG if I have to read this MC call the other "Honey" one more time I'mma stab a bitch. It's not even ironic, or him being campy. It's just...just. Argh...

Okay, I'm loving the team dynamics and the banter all around. This is some funny stuff, too. It does remind me a bit of White Collar...but in the very best ways.

I've accomplished absolutely nothing today, instead choosing to mainline this entire series as quickly and thoroughly as possible. Not even sorry.

Well, damn! No wonder I liked the previous book in this series so much: Revella Hawthorne is a pen name for SJ Himes. I loved the Wolves of Black Pine and am getting ready to listen to The Necromancer's Dance! Evidently, I have a type!

Right, so not DNFing the other book I'm in the process of reading...just, temporarily pausing for an indeterminate amount of time. That might stretch, possibly, into forever.

So have you ever started a book and like, 2 pages in, thought:

...But because you're not a quitter you just resign yourself to the pain and suffering for however long it takes to finish it?

Yeah, that's so me right now.

Sorry for spamming the feed with all my newly added TBR books - gotta mark the ones I'm thinking of reading for the holiday season in case it's necessary for my ongoing challenges!

Oh no she didn't!

Alex lying like that lost her any high-ground in this situation. She's had Steph as a friend and role model, someone familiar with the shock/surprise...to learn from how to handle such a revelation, to talk with frankly & figure out how to talk with Nate about it like an adult.

Nope, not sure she'll ever return to a sympathetic character at this point...

Okay, if the sex is that life affirming and life-changing then maybe the emotional connection is deeper than the text has portrayed it up to this point. I'll buy it for now...

LOVING the way people actually TALK about things, though. So refreshing.

Also, I kind of want to stab Drew's mom in the face.

Aaaaand, evidently they didn't do a good enough job explaining things to Colin first time around...

I hope there is something in his background that explains Nate's behavior...because at least Drew's wife knows, they're not "happily married" & as far as I can tell Nate & Alex ARE, supposedly. He seems happy, content - & there's no grand emotional upheaval; yes, Drew lusts after Nate, but everything so far only seems like a close friendship for Nate. Now, suddenly, they're having sex? WTF?

"Needles, lighters, spoon - definitely freebasing."

Why is it that book authors, more so than say movie or TV script writers, get drugs so completely wrong? Sure, you can light whatever drug you want up in a spoon and inhale - but you don't need needles for that; also, the cop noticed track marks on a homeless kid's arm. That's "shooting up" NOT "freebasing." Freebasing is smoking the drug, damn.

I'm still really confused here; this doesn't play into the typical angel/demon mythology and without a better explanation for what's going on I have nothing to draw on to clear it all up, either. I'm really hoping there's some sort of explanation coming or else I'm gonna be pissed...

Suspension was the least of his concerns. His greatest fear was that he was removed from the case.

Yeah, no. See, being suspended means turning in your badge, being unable to investigate anything, at all, where being removed from a case means that you still have authority as a detective. Maybe you have to keep digging on the sly, or investigate this case through another crime somehow. But suspension is worse.
