Michael Goddart and 188 other people liked s.penkevich [hiatus-will return-miss you all]'s review of Slippery Creatures (The Will Darling Adventures, #1): "‘Between greed and fanaticism people can justify anything.’ Secret documents, spies, and plenty of spice, Slippery Creatures from KJ Charles is a seductive little novel about a man who just wanted to organize his books.

Quotes by Michael Goddart (?)

“Don’t expect perfection and things to go the way you want
them to when it comes to people, business, your prospects,
and your social life. When things don’t go according to your desires, when the weather of life is foul, be creative and
consider what may be the higher reasons why this is
happening and why you must adjust. Perhaps it’s to gain forbearance, patience, inner strength, flexibility, or the
ability to withhold criticism while serving as a loving model.”
