Officially going to have to shelve this one. Its a real shame, because I really genuinely like the plot, the lore, and the characters of this series. However, I just cannot get past how ridiculously sexist it is. From what I can tell, Harry keeps up with the exact same stupid schpeel about how, call him what you will, he's not a sexist, he's just old-fashioned, and then immediately proceeds to do or say something sexist. He constantly has his ass saved by women, would be completely lost without Murphy, and yet still has the gall to insist that women should leave the fighting to the boys, purposely withholding information from Murphy and never seeming to learn that that just makes things even MORE dangerous for her. I cannot stand the amount of awesome characters that are ruined by lazy and dated noir tropes, Harry has the worst hero complex ever, and blames himself for every little thing and yet never changes. 
 I'm also pissed that in the first book Murphy was described as a "stout" woman. Finally, a kickass female character that isn't some bombshell cheerleader knockout with the body of a model. And then by the second book, her description has been changed to a cheerleader with cute earlobes that bear mentioning every few pages. 
 I tried. I really did. I cannot get past this book.
