His stomach trembled? HIS STOMACH TREMBLED?!

God, that's like a "she smiled with her lower teeth" line!

“You call Junior Del,” she said instead of giving a direct answer. “Why is that?”

Finally got to the super emotional part that made me need to listen to the whole book ASAP. I wanna say poor Del, and it's true, but my ambivalent and less than fully educated feelings about the "war on terror" also make that hard. I suppose no matter what, he was in a shit situation.

Once again, it's nice to get back to books with perfectly healthy levels of jealousy - the "I know who you're going home with tonight, and I appreciate you having boundaries with others". Unhinged jealousy isn't my favorite trope in dark romance, and unfortunately it seems to be ubiquitous in the genre.

"A strange sort of anger unfurled in his gut, as intense as it was irrational. Damn Spencer for being here. Damn this assignment for keeping him from his team. Damn the LT for not putting him on Team Alpha. Damn his stupid motherfucking finger for refusing to heal properly the first time. Damn the whole fucking world to hell."
