Demonic Indemnity door Craig McLay
DNF, stopping at 17% after peeking at the last chapters. It just isn't holding my interest. The style is too dry, and I'm not feeling some of this over-the-top world, either. You'd think the latter would energize the former, but it doesn't.
Tim investigates insurance claims in a world where humans and monsters of the supernatural variety live together. This supernatural fantasy detective story is fun and clever on multiple levels, and the first case Tim is given to investigate is a doozy.
If you like movies like Ghostbusters or Men in Black, or the absurd fantasy style of Pratchett, then this book might be for you. I enjoyed it, for the most part. But I had questions by the end. Without giving too much away. Tim and his friends infiltrate a gang in an attempt to save one of their own, but the author leaves how they were able to do it a complete mystery. And that, for me, was a disappointment.… (meer)

One subsection of fiction I’ve become enamored with is books about bookstores. Village Books is a dinosaur in 5his electronic age of ereaders- an independent bookstore. Staffed by an unforgettable group of quirky bibliophiles, Village Books has an interesting mix of drama, comedy and a sweet love story. Written with humor and an appreciation of the bookstore,this is a wonderful read.
Fun and interesting setting and characters (though the names were more caricatures than I liked and almost had me reject the story at the start). Alas, the random nature of events and a seeming lack of a coherent plot prevented this from truly coming together to be a solid book. The characters kept me reading to the end, but I can't grade it higher than 3 stars because the core story was as meandering and undirected as the POV character.
