I continue with my end of year promise to finish several started but unfinished books before beginning anything new. Next up: Devil Said Bang, Sandman Slim #4. Maybe it was the month or few between starting and picking it back up, but this one seemed to have a lot less action, and a lot more of Stark inside his own head or contemplating his situation or himself. I’m not complaining about this, it just seems a little different from the previous novels in the series. […]

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/09/04/episode-1-33-were-here-were-queer-get-used-to-it/ Wherein I review: 128. Hiddensee by Gregory Maguire 129. Crooked by Austin Grossman 130.

Gregory Maguire brings […]

But I want you to have to experience I’ve had of not knowing what’s going to happen next.
A Tamer Lucifer than Tom Ellis
Given the intricacy and violence of the other two books in the series I’ve read, I was a little surprised at how tame Lucifer actually was in Kill the Dead. I was all ready for some kind of intricate, elaborate super-scheme when the devil hires Stark at the end of Sandman Slim for bodyguard duty. The only thing for most of the novel that Lucifer seemed to be up to was actually supervising his biopic and using that as an excuse to stay away from […]
