Which I'm hoping he will and not just a very pretty totally-in-control-of-himself wolf that gains no reason to reexamine his life or himself.RFhttp://a-sporking-rat.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350096535937978369.post-87909843915585988792013-05-20T14:45:42.242-07:002013-05-20T14:45:42.242-07:00I heart Laurie R.

The charming and likeable ain't coming across.<br /><br />And if he's such a naive and spoiled young man, how the hell did he manage to take down a crime ring while still an intern (Because him being an intern is the only way his timeline makes sense)?<br /><br />Laurie R. King writes novels that take a long time to get anywhere, but she's good at atmosphere. Some of her books drag on too long in my opinion but she does sell a sense of menace, a sense of something dangerous moving towards the protagonists. So far Anne Rice has just made me hate the lead character as an entitled prick. There's no dread in this story, no brooding sense of menace, and so far no werewolves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828438966741169694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350096535937978369.post-19891600758532481782013-05-20T12:35:54.933-07:002013-05-20T12:35:54.933-07:00"When are they going to get to the fireworks ..."When are they going to get to the fireworks factory?"<br /><br />Oh Ruben. I just can't hate him, because he sounds far too dumb to be mean to. I just want to pat him on the head and say "You read Heart of Darkness? All of it? Good for you!"<br /><br />I saw this book in the local library's audiobook collection.

I hated Ruben already, but his cavalier attitude towards being able to just walk up and buy a mansion make me want to toss a brick at his head.
