③ Deliciously nerve-wracking stuff abounds. I actually laughed my shapely exoskeleton off several times while reading the book. The lines/dialogues/banter/whatever in this book are some of the mostest funniest (and even hilariousest, imagine that!) in the series. Okay, so this book ,up until the ending -I-am-not-quite-terribly-enthusiastic-about, is probably one of the best the Authorlords have ever written. Note to self: get ahold of yourself, for shrimp’s sake! You’re supposed to be nefarious and evil and black-hearted and stuff!

Not At Any Point In The Entirety Of Our Entire Lives. The One That Shall Be Followed By No Other. Sounds like we’re all equally screwed, if you ask me. Hmmm…I wonder what sucks more, come to think of it: being a little dead and not having read the book, or being vaguely alive, having read it and therefore having no other installment to look forward to. Too bad their being somewhat dead prevented them from reading this last installment in the series. Perhaps, but one thing’s for sure: those 18th-century folks really had Impeccable Book Taste (IBT™). ➽ And the other moral of this reread is: I want to be Eahrratim Of The Lethal Sneers And Deathly Put-Downs (EOFTLSADPD™) when I grow up.Ī well-known 18th-century author once said: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that Kate Daniels is the Best Bloody Shrimping Urban Fantasy Series That Ever Was and Ever Will Be.”I can’t remember this most perceptive author’s name, unfortunately I think she might have had a son named Dar…something at some point. ➽ And the moral of this reread is: it is decidedly sad but disgustingly true, I still do not quite exactly like the ending of this book very much indeed. 🐈 The Adventures Of A Brave Little Kitty Buddy Rerererereread (TAOABLKBR™) with the IA Addicts 🐈 You've punished us long enough, can we have Kate back now NOW?

➽ And the moral of this particular rererererereread is: okay house Andrews, it's been FOUR YEARS since you released this book and went on to write other stuff.
