Next time I decide to read this it will probably be for Halloween bingo, because this hits a lot of squares, including Halloween itself and carnivals. It's fall in small-town Ohio, and Mab is almost finished restoring the old rides and statues in a small amusement park that's being refurbished. Mab ...

This story delivered exactly what I was looking for, a light, entertaining read for escaping from the stress of my everyday world. The plot twists and character motivations were transparent, the Inoperable Bullet plot device was ridiculous, and the character arcs and Happily-Ever-Afters were both co...

Upon the second reading, two years after its release, I liked this book much better. Much-much better! I’m bumping its rating too: from 3 stars to 4 stars. Although I’m still not exactly happy about the protagonists and bewildered by their strange pairings, I think that the depictions of secondary c...

The thing about audio books is that it takes approximately 16X longer for someone else to read the book to me than it would for me to just read the book myself. Which can be frustrating when you have nothing to do, and just want to speed through the rest of the book, and you can't. On the other ha...

This third collaboration for Crusie and Mayer takes a new direction for the authors: demon-hunting. Crusie had already ventured into the fantasy realm in her collaborative (and to my mind, unsuccessful) ventures The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes and Dogs and Goddesses, but those involved less action and...

I've enjoyed every book I've read by the Crusie/Mayer writing team. Each one is unique. This book is a paranormal, with lots a action, lots of humour, a bit of romance and a whole boatload of demons. Its the polar opposite to the dark and complex paranormal series that seem to be the norm these ...

Kind of a disappointment. I really enjoyed their earlier work but this one felt like they were trying too hard. I know the paranormal is really popular now but it felt shoehorned. The world didn't feel real or believable.

I knew in advance that I would love this book because it was by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer (I really need to finally read Don't Look Down since I loved Agnes and the Hitman and this one so much) and because it was about an amusement park that is also a demon prison. My one minor disappointment i...
