I love nothing more than a Stupid Hero having almost immediate consequences to his actions omg this is great.

"Hey you know how you thought you were protecting someone? Now it might land you both in JAIL, nice job"

Also appreciate the way he recaps some mechanics but doesn't make it feel formulaic... and calls himself out on being a chauvinist. First step to fixing the problem is seeing it, my dude

but also

harold

you did not just think you could sneak after a whole ass pack of werewolves in the dark and not have them notice you

dumbass

For a guy who says he's Seen Shit he really is dumb as a box of rocks and God help me that's one of my blorbo categories, and I need to just embrace it

... ah. That's what Bob got up to on his Day Out. Appropriately facepalm-inducing.

/lets one book emote do double duty

anyway. I love the way the potion brewing works, it's neat.

Bob is an epic perv

I mean ... medieval-age spirit... it kinda tracks

I love the way he reminds Harry that back in that time being a were would have been an easy way to not starve and die b/c life sucked so much, even if you lost part of yourself

Agent Denton reminds me so much of Albert Rosenfeld so far

Marconi showed up just when I figured he would... and there's the Backstory Hook ... and yet, this is still So Fun. I love when fiction formulas are more a framework than the Entire Thing.

... OOF. That Big Crime Scene was a gut punch. Ow ow ow.

... this dumb idiot, oh my God. /sigh.

... coming back to this after The Giant Werewolf Fight at the station and WOW THIS IS A LOT, this book has not stopped to breathe. I thought it was the climax but it was the end of Act 1 and now we're into Act 2 with this moron jumping out of a moving car

I am so here for this even if he's still a chauvinistic asshole. I expect Murphy beats that out of him eventually XD

also he has shades of Darkwing in his "I wish I still had my coat, it would have looked cooler"

... well, called that guy being a werewolf. I love the touch of different types, though. So neat.

"I ... am ... the Burger King." JFC if I hadn't already given up fighting the muse that would have clinched it. This is amazing.

oh, lol. wait till he goes to a costume party.

That sounds... like ... oh. I cannot wait.
