Boys & Their Alpha Male Games

I recently finished Magic Burns, which I really, really enjoyed. I particularly enjoyed one subversion of a really annoying trope. (I'll keep it vague.) Basically, two alpha male characters who are nominally on the same side get into a smack-down, my-penis-is-bigger-than-yours fight. The heroine makes no attempt to break it up, deciding that since they're not going to kill each other, they might as well pound on each other until they get bored, she has better things to do than watch or referee.



Bravo, Kate Daniels, bravo.
