I listened to this on Audible during a long car trip and it was thoroughly entertaining and fun! Sometimes you just need some mind candy to relax. (

Fun enough, but I wanted the friendship between the two female leads to be more friendly and less angry.

I never did finish. (

I’m going to say this to my dying breath… but Ivy deserves better.

But this was better the first time through.... I’m rereading the series yet again, so maybe I can catch up and see where things end… and hopefully not like I’ve heard. (

I stood in the shadows of a deserted shop front across from The Blood and Brew Pub, trying not to be obvious as I tugged my black leather pants back up where they belonged.
