Sarcastic werewolf. Pop culture reference loving vampire. A ghost dog. A 17 year old priestess to the "Old Gods" who wants to bring about the Armageddon. In a town where the supernatural is normal.
A very fast read. More along the lines of Christopher Moore's vampires (You Suck and others) than Stephanie Meyers brooding twits.

A fun, goofy read. Quirky characters, lots of demons and ghouls, and a thoroughly unlovable yet still likeable cast of characters.

Some good snarky humor but too much 'dude' humor. Fatphobic and iffy underage characters.

Hoooo this is quite Of Its Time. Some fun characters & ideas but... wow they sure sexualized the 17-year-old female antagonist very very a lot. Really gross! Plus poor Loretta, who was otherwise a badass character in my opinion, couldn't do anything without the author waxing poetic about how fat she is. No thank you 2005.

What to you mean this is a stand alone book and not the first book in the continuing adventures of Earl and Duke?!?!?
This is a glorious romp in the world of Dark humor. Prefect for fans of [a:Christopher Moore|16218|Christopher Moore|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1460399391p2/16218.jpg] or [a:Joseph Fink|21150668|Joseph Fink|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1612366931p2/21150668.jpg]. This book was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek. I now want to read more of A. Lee Martinez.

Light, fun read. The descriptions of the female characters are a bit too sexist in my opinion, and the only criticism I have of the book.

DNF- Unfortunately the "humor" in this one was not for me. I didn't make it very far- but the raunchy jokes and body shaming was extremely off putting. I've read plenty of other books with this sort of humor and in this vain but this one I found more grating and annoying than amusing.
