Most everyone has had the awkward family gathering occasion which can bring out the best and worst in people and that's what this story was based around. Not many, however, can say that they've had that experience while surrounded by (view spoiler) ...more

The beginning of this book had me laughing so hard. Toreth vs 6 year old female version of well...himself?

So that was really entertaining and then it wasn't. Nope not at all.
I knew it, I just knew it! Toreth is going to kill me. Warrick is just going to stand by and let Toreth get away with everything and anything. When does Warrick grow a set? Or is he too scared t ...more
