Eh..

Starts slow... Too slow Moves into predictably ridiculous.

The girlfriend is a boob. Why the girlfriend always gotta be a boob? Of course he's dense but he's a man. Why's she gotta be such s boob? I really do like this book.

Oh my but this is getting good. It reminds me of the old books of my grandmothers I used to read. Only with people who have actual sex, and magic.

The style of writing has grabbed me, almost immediately. The story had to take time to introduce itself of course. It's mostly 1st person narration, which I enjoy. A few times we had to step away from Stone, to see others actions outside of his view, but the tone remains. I'm looking forward to the next section, when I can step into the deeper waters of the story.

Oh my god. This chick is stupid. Like a coma patient has more thought process. She's an insult to vaginas. He's just a bit sensitive, but damn... She dumb.

Crying, hysterics, poor choices, shock, and walking around dressed in his boxers, tee, and heels? This chicks a hot mess. Not the fun kind, the we all want to smack her selfish pathetic ass and scream 'get your shit together' kind.

Oh gee I saw violence! Let me fall apart a screw my ex, who I can't resist bc he has muscles! Oh no, he was nice to me, now I can't hold a coherent conversation. LMFAO Do we seriously consider women like this valid? Realistic? Ugh. I hope it gets better.

Superman by JC Stein left me still unconnected w the characters and not really caring about the story or what happened. No real butt kicks either. One star. Monster mash by Carole Nelson Douglas I did not finish. It's just that bad. Or boring is more correct. My advice on this one is 3 names may make you a serial killer candidate but not a writer.

Vaughan wrote a short one. I enjoy it tho, and say 4⭐. It's short, to the point bad assery.

Cheyenne McCray wrote double dead. It's good as a short story, good characters and action. It's missing some element I just can't find. Maybe it's just her style I don't enjoy. Either way it was a great story made good. 3 stars.

Jenna Black wrote nine tenths of the law. It's good enough but I think it was missing a couple elements, tho I could only pinpoint 1. It belongs in a book called chicks who know a lot of people who kick butt. I think I'd like a full novel or even a novelette better from this author. We will go w 3stars

P.N.Elrod wrote Vampires prefer Blondes It reminded me if those true detective stories in a 1960 or 70 magazine. I enjoyed it a lot. I'm going to look for this author. I'll start w 1 book, see how it goes. Sometimes an author is better at one short stories or novels and the fun doesn't translate. 4⭐

This story was a Lilith Saintcrow piece, that held her stamp on it. Like most stories by LSC it is not for everyone. She has a style that some who prefer modern lit. Don't usually like, but that I love. It's descriptive emotionally without getting bogged down in words. Even tho I was not familiar with the world it's set in I loved it. 5 stars

Story by Rachel Vincent 4 stars New author to me but I liked the story. It took me on a short trip, left me satisfied yet wanting a bit more.. Good job.

Karen Chance wrote the second story. I'm not familiar with her tho the style seems to ring a brain chime. I liked the story but it didn't seem to have a point. Just sort of seemed like a couple chapters pulled from the middle if a book. It would be a 4 star story but I'm knocking it down to 3 because there was no beginning or end. Just a damn fine middle...

1st story is a weather warden story. Not bad, but if you didn't know the author is capable of delivery, this story would not have you searching her out.

"She is not any of these qualities. She is a woman. A thing quite different to a man." "..while the two executioners hold the flailing head of the most stupid son of York deep into the barrel (of wine) until his feet hang slack and there is no more bubbles of air..."

"You can't say that I haven't taught you everything," she says with a smile. "Everything I know and believe I have taught you. And some of it may even be true."

"Sanctuary is for the helpless" "I have a greater respect for victory than for any sanctuary"

"I have my own loyalties and obligations that I consider and honor. They are not his. They are not at the beck and call of any man. " "I don't propose to sell myself at all. I am not a yard of ribbon. I am not a leg of ham. I am not for sale to anyone."

Why are the women clueless airhead virgins??? Just once I want a book about a kick-ass slut who falls in love w the right for her guy. Other than that so far it's cute.

It's not that easy to drive in a blizzard, but I'll go with it.

Got the signed copy in the mail for my birthday, from a friend. Thanks my wonderful Randi!!!

Preston and Child always deliver. I had to pick this up as soon as I saw it.
