This book was one sidelong glance after another. Does he like me? Does she like me? Come on, Charles. You are over 200 years old. Act your age! 
 However, one thing I really appreciate about this and the Mercy Thompson books is how Patricia Briggs examines the effects of sexual assault. She never gives it a simple or quick solution. 
 Noelle keeps hinting about BIG things happening in this series that affect the Mercy world so I'll keep reading, especially with Frost Burned coming out soon. 
 ...Uh, I mean after I do my Infinite Jest readalong reading. Yeah.
