When I first began this book I kept saying, “What the heck???!!!” to myself. I continually did not want to like it …. but …. Like C.T.’s other series, it slowly reels you in and makes you want to find out what will happen next. Like his Fangtown and Bright Falls series, the tongue in cheek spoof that he creates is so intriguing. Gary/Merciless is such a contradiction that you need to keep listening to see just how far off and on the rails this man will travel.
