Kissed by Death by Holly Roberds
dark
funny
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
This book was darker than the first, especially given the implied S.A in Vivien's past by her uncle.
However, Vivien's unique and hilarious descriptions (e.g. her blue faux fur coat that she named Cookie Monster) added levity and kept things entertaining.
Additionally, Jenkins and the tiny guys running her brain were a highlight for me yet again:
"Jenkins, did you hear that? She’s got a target on her back.
Sir, I heard. We are royally screwed. What are we going to do about it?
Hit the lever to switch her focus. Get it onto anything else. If she thinks about it too long, her head will pop, and we’ll be out of a job."
