I’m finally (just got a chance to start it last night) reading Justin Gustainis’s Evil Ways, the second Morris & Chastain Investigation. (Yes, that Quincy Morris.) I’m currently on page 195 and enjoying myself immensely. Huge bonus: this book boasts an appearance by Mac, of Dresden Files fame. (You’ll also hear about a certain reporter.)

Justin can tell a hell of a story and is very deft with pacing. There’s some things I’d do differently on a craft level, of course, but that’s true for any book. What’s important is that I’m two-thirds of the way through the book and wishing I could slow down to savor it, which is a rare and wonderful thing for me.

So, if you’re looking for a great urban fantasy read with enough in-jokes and high-octane action (not to mention good solid research and some damn fine writing and plotting) to make any sane reader scream with joy…look, I can’t make it any plainer, I LOVE THIS BOOK.

I’m going to dive back in now. Expect to hear more tomorrow!
