✘✘ Sarah ✘✘ (former Nefarious Breeder of Murderous Crustaceans)'s Reviews > Fool Moon

►►► Today is your lucky day. Yes it is.

Want know why? Well this was going to be one of my never-ending, ever-rambling reviews. This was going to be an ode to the awesomeness that is Harry D. I was going to go all "blah blah blah this is fantastic, blah blah blah this is so cool, blah blah blah Harry D. I love you even though you're not an asshole, blah blah blah I love what you do with your staff, blah blah blah blah blah blah" on you.

But I won't. Because as much as I love Harry I don't have time for this. Because this . Can't put it down. Not humanly possible. So you're about to get the condensed version of this review.



Not so fast young lady, let's not get too excited here. I said the condensed version of this review, I never talked about a short review. Sometimes I wonder if you know me at all.

▧ Okay, let's do this.

Wait. You weren’t expecting a plot recap from me were you? Oh good, because you’re not going to get one. Things to do, places to go and all that. If you want to know what the story is about, just read the book. You're welcome.

▧ Okay, let's do this.

Wait. You know that fans of this series usually say that it gets better around book 3 and 4. Exqueeze me? Baking powder? You mean the Kate Daniels kind of "it gets better" when you end up giving a 10 out of 5 stars rating? Because so far this is pretty good. Hell, so far this is very good. Oh well, who am I to judge anyway? Everyone knows I have crappy taste in books.

▧ Okay, let's do this.

Wait. ← hahahaha just kidding! You really thought this was going to be another pointless paragraph didn't you? Gotcha! Although, technically, I have to admit this paragraph is pretty pointless. Actually it's even more pointless that my previous pointless points.



Mr Bond! So nice of you to stop by! Shaken, not stirred is that it? One martini coming right up! No no really, it's no problem. My pleasure. I mean, if you were Daniel Craig the most ridiculous 007 ever I'd tell you to get lost but you're Sean Connery the one and only so it's an honour to mix that drink for you. Hold on. I don't think I'm supposed to be mixing drinks right now. I'm pretty sure there is something else I'm supposed to be doing. Damn. Harry D! How could I forget?! Moving on.

►►► Why I'm still in love with Harry D. ◄◄◄

① He's a disaster magnet. He's the king of worst decision making in the history of bad decision making. He's a total dork. To some this is really annoying. To some this is over-the-top. But I think it's pretty cool. Yes, this is me falling for a guy with huge loser potential (and no dress sense. Apart from his t-shirts. His t-shirts are pretty cool). I'm telling you, the aggravating assholes in my harem can't quite believe it. Me neither actually. A non-asshole with underdog tendencies. And I love him. What is the world coming to I ask you?

② Harry's magic is VERY cool. And, again, it has nothing to do with his staff. And there's still no pulling rabbits out of hats involved here. Just cool potions and cool magic stuff. With Snoopy tagging along. And Harry chanting to the Peanuts theme music. Very cool I tell you.



③ Harry still has the coolest friends/acquaintances/pets/whatever.
→ Murph: she seems to annoy the hell out of everyone. So obviously I love her. She's bad tempered. So obviously I love her. She has very low tolerance for BS. So obviously I love her. She gives Harry hell. So obviously I love her. She's one tough cookie. So obviously I love her.
→ Werewolves! Werewolves everywhere! Werewolves galore! Everything you ever wanted to know about werewolves but were afraid to ask! I LOVE werewolves! RAWR! CLAWS! YESSS!
→ Hyperkinetic amoebas. Don't ask.
→ And then there's Bob. I'm in love.



►►► What else? I think that's pretty much it. Told you this was going to be a condensed review. What? Sorry, I can't hear you. Huh? What do you mean this is not your idea of a condensed review? Hahaha you're so funny.
1- Last thing I knew this was my review so if I say it's condensed then it is.
2- Wait till I write a full-length review and the word condensed will take a whole new meaning.
►►► You guys really crack me up.

▧ Wait. ← nope, not kidding this time, there's actually something I forgot to say. Ha! Gotcha again! So. Wanna know why I love this instalment so much? Because gore. So much gore. Blood. Torn open guts. Detached limbs. Crushed bones. So freaking awesome. How many times do I have to tell you people?! Romance is overrated. Gore is cool.

►►► That's it from me. Love story to be continued in the next episode. Harry, baby, try not to do anything too stupid while I'm away. And, by the way:



✎ Book 1: Storm Front ★★★★
✎ Book 3: Grave Peril ★★
