"Grimoire of the Lamb" is an entertaining, wild ride that highlights Atticus' most compelling aspects: he's cunning, witty, ballsy, and his dog is fricken hysterical.

I also love that Atticus' universe allows for cameos from any pantheon. Here he tangles with Egyptian deities, giving us a glimpse of their powers while expanding our understanding of his own.

While this was a nice novella, this isn't one of my favorites.
I find I like Atticus when he has other characters to bounce off of. Oberon is great as usual, but for a large part of the story, he wasn't there. I can totally see him in a top hat with a candy cigarette hanging out of his mouth. ...more
