“Callie realized then, with a sharp intake of her breath, who the people were. No ... it couldn't be! That family of vagrants Kate Thompson had fed couldn't possibly have been riding in her car. No way.
Dizzy with the horror of it, Callie struggled to think clearly. She realized what must have happened. They had found her car sitting on the boulevard and tried to steal it.” Love Hoh writing these diva antagonists

Having an ambulance spin out of control on black ice and blow through the Hospital waiting room only to pin one of our main characters between it and a wall in a truly bizzaro scene…God bless Diane Hoh she was truly put on this earth to write the most batshit Final Destination ass scenarios and still make the prose feel accessible and thrilling

The extremely 90’s plot of an unhoused family (resulting from the previous book refinery fire) coming to the ER but Kate having to circumspectly offer them a dinner because the father’s Pride might be hurt if he feels like he’s receiving charity. I appreciate that we get the line about the kids complaining about being hungry and that gives him an out to prioritize the kids but it’s still dated boomer Pride

Suddenly everyone is talking about the Grants being multi millionaires because of a refinery and not the university of Med Center. Also, this isn’t Dallas, why do they own a refinery in Massachusetts???
