Book #87

"Bourbon Affair (Pentacles of Magick)" by Eliza Gayle

2 stars out of 5

Disappointed. I was willing to give it 3 stars, despite this being a PWP with a lot of missed potential, but then I found out that in the next part, this M/M paranormal romance turns into a M/M/F romance with two butch men protecting a vulnerable girl - *snorts* - and it basically destroyed the one thing I liked about this short story: the special bond between Den and Jake. It was the whole point of the story, after all, that despite the prophecy, Den chose Jake, not a girl. And instead of running with that, the author used it as a stepping stone to a threesome that allowed Den to keep Jake and still fulfill the prophecy - as cheap a way out as I've ever seen. I feel cheated because I actually invested myself in their special bond and the addition of a woman in the next part simply diminishes everything this story established. I wish I haven't read the summary of the next book, it ruined this one for me completely.

Suits 102-105

Man, I love marathoning shows. I think I prefer watching them this way. Especially here, you can clearly see how much progress these characters have made within 5 episodes.

You know, I thought I would be rooting for Mike, but I'm totally a Harvey!girl. He's awesome. And so subtly protective of Mike. He guides Mike, helps him, cleans up his messes... But I also like Mike a lot, he's so awesome, what with his photographic memory...

I'm really liking the show. It really does get better with every ep!
