Tentacle mermaid prawn-- revealed!

oyceter mailed me the mermaid/angel/zombie dinosaur book. Of course.

She also mailed me another book by the same author. I am not sure I can read that one, though, because on PAGE TWO it contained this immortal line, which I promptly texted to Oyce Unfortunately, he could not ignore the burning need festering in his balls.

Poor word-choice for the win! I do not want my erotic heroes to have festering balls! (Even Ann Bishop's rats would not eat them if they were festering, I am sure.)

A Taste of Crimson, by Marjorie Liu

Not part of her cracktastic Dirk & Steele series, this novel is part of someone else's series but stands on its own and is actually rather less cracktastic, featuring vampires and werewolves (plus a demon ex machina) rather than mermen, the Ferie Queen, organleggers, and gargoyles.

Keeli is a pink-haired werewolf with anger issues; Michael is a 300-year-old steppes nomad vampire executioner of vampires. Together, they fight crime!

I don't have a ton to say about this, but I enjoyed it. See it on Amazon: A Taste of Crimson (Crimson City)
