"I fell in love with this series for its joyous, high-octane sense of mayhem, but I would stay just for the food. When you read it, you'll forgive me for saying this: each entry leaves you hungry for more." â??Melissa F Olson, author of the Scarlett Bernard series, and Nightshades<… (meer)

I have enjoyed all the books in this series but this was easily my favorite. It was probably the killer........oh I can't tell. Let's just say there are some crazy assassins roaming around in this book. ( )

Maybe I'm in a funk or something, but the series is losing its charm on me. There are only so many frustrating ostriches I can take before going pyro on books.
I really hope it's just my mood. Too many terrible books lately.

REVIEW

I... honestly have no clue what this one was supposed to be about? Like, AT. ALL.
What's the purpose? Where are developments? What on earth is going on?
I got more satisfaction from [b:Small Wars|27242762|Small Wars (Sin du Jour)|Matt Wallace|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1445967138s/27242762.jpg|47291555] than from this confusing mess of a story.

I just... I honestly don't know.
So very disappointed.

I'll take a stab at the next instalment but I'm not holding out much hope at this point. ( )

The third book's the charm. Or, actually, it's pure hell.

Not for us, mind you, it's all for the characters. And what a hell of a ride it is.

I mean, seriously, after the last book, which I thought was pretty good and definitely funny and fun, I didn't quite expect a full and completely kick-butt tale of Hollywood human sacrifice, pools of chocolate, exquisite tacos from a truck, or awesomely choreographed fight-scenes.

I'm pretty sure that Tim Burton was not consulted for the Truly Strange bits, but I would be quite remiss if I didn't tell Mr. Tim Burton that he probably ought to read this book, tip his hat in serious pride for the spirit of this book, understand that this might be a good deal better than a lot of the more recent stuff he's come up with, and come back to Matt Wallace and tell him that [b:Pride's Spell|28595871|Pride's Spell (Sin du Jour, #3)|Matt Wallace|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1454685885s/28595871.jpg|48765760] is now being made by him. I mean, fair's fair. This book is awesome.

I didn't even know, at least, not really, that all these wonderful chefs where so versatile with weapons! Or that evil cartoon bunnies could quite send such shivers down my spine.

So was it more a funny book, an action book, or a horror?

Well, heck if I know. All I know is that all three worked wonders in this one and I think this author has just earned a huge fan. :)

Thanks goes to Netgalley for the arc!
