Book Report - For A Few Demons More
There wasn't really much to say about this one because I don't want to give any of it away, but it freaking rocked. It was so damn good it was an act of will to put the book down. It's the sort of tale where when you get to the last 30 pages or so, you start to feel bad because it's going to end soon, but you console yourself with knowing that you can just turn back to page one and start over again. I'd offer to loan it out, but that's exactly what I'm going to do. Totally worth hardcover price, and I think her absolute best yet.

Grr . . . I am going to have to wait until school is out. Otherwise bad time management would rule. Good to know it'll be worth the wait though!
Speaking of bad time management. God of War 2 is . . . a-may-za-zing! I cannot stop playing, the graphics are unparalleled. I kill bad guys just to see what's next. It helps that I'm still pretty good, about five hours total of playing and I'm already at the half way mark.
I will probably purchase a copy for myself before I go to FL...assuming I am caught up and then some with all of my studies. I'm glad to hear it rocked though, because I was totally scared that she was going to take the Laura K. Hamilton route...I mean, I really liked the last book and all, but it seemed to me as if it were a lot of gratuitous, almost sex / teaser scenes between the red headed witch (I forget her name) and the blonde vampire (also forgetting her name). Also, where the hell was Newt? Harrison totally dropped a bunch of the story lines that I was interested in. Don't get me wrong...I love to see relationships grow between main characters, but I don't want an entire book about it. That kind of thing could have been done in multiple books, although I can see how it would've totally been drawn out for WAY too long, had she gone that route. So maybe doing it in book 4(?) was the best thing to do...but it definately made it my least favorite book. I still have high hopes for A Few Demons More though, so yeah...I am really looking forward to it!!!
Well you're in luck, Livvy. :) I will say the following about FAFDM - trailing story lines involving Newt, Trent, Ceri and Al all get picked back up. Detective Glenn reappears. Piscary is back. AND Harrison has not jumped the shark and gone the LKH route yet. Sure, there's debate about how Rachel really feels about Ivy, but it's interspersed with the action, not a 3 chapter sex and discussion-fest that makes you want to just skip to the freaking end. I found the whole book extremely satisfying. And I'm only a teeny bit embarrassed to admit that I cried at one point.
YAY!!! :-D
