Another fun read by Grady Hendrix. I really love this author and his stuff is always fun to read, even though it has those dark themes to it.

This is my new favorite Grady Hendrix, full stop. I was rooting for Kris the whole time and the whole journey was engaging and tense. I kept picturing Terry like Lestat, they just called him blond but hey whatever.
