Grab Your Gun & Bring In The Cat
I recently finished reading Spirit & Dust by Rosemary Clement Moore which was very enjoyable, despite the fact that it:
Seriously, the main character is a weeks-from-eighteen teen psychic whose hot handler with the FBI literally calls her “Jailbait” as an affectionate nick-name, is understanding and supportive about her talents, and their call and response code phrase for “I’m fine” is “what do you hear?” “nothing but the rain.”
AND INSTEAD OF BANGING THE FUCK OUT OF THAT DUDE AS SOON AS SHE TURNS EIGHTEEN, WHICH, TRUST ME, WAS A DAY MARKED ON BOTH OF THEIR CALENDARS, she ends up hooking up with the more age-appropriate ‘bad boy’ who spent the majority of the novel lying to her. Admittedly, he had good reasons, but still. Why waste your time with a lying bad boy when you could be nailing a hot FBI agent you work with?
- has a love triangle
- and the side I two people I wanted to hook up didn’t.

I picked up a book called The Rook by Daniel O'Malley from the library today, after I saw a discerning reader/blogger online recommend it for fans of Orphan Black and then reading the excellent first four chapters (http://www.rookfiles.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/The-Rook_chapters-1-4.pdf) on author's website. It *is* very Orphan Black-ish so far. Will update you on if it's worth checking out when I get a lot further into it.

That was my emotional reaction over the course of a novel. *sad face*
Do you have a determination on that book yet?
