The quote of the day("Welcome to the gay man's one night stand!) made me smile when when I read the line in the book What's a Ghoul to Do? by Victoria Laurie, interesting book as well. Quick review: Pretty much about a heroine who is a medium and can speak with the dead, she has a business where she is a ghost buster. The heroine, whose name is M.J and her gay business partner Giley take on a client whose grandfather is haunting his house where he supposedly committed suicide. Dr. Delicious (as they call him) is from Germany and there's a lot of skeletons in his family closet.
It was an interesting book, can't say it was one of the best I've read but it was a break from the Vampire mania that most novelists seem intent upon. (I'm not bashing the Vampires, trust me gimme a Katie Macalister or a Maryjanice Davidson any day!)
One thing I did notice was that although the story was pretty good, we never got much in the order of character developement for Dr. Delicioius other than that he was a hot dude with an awesome accent who butchers American slang. I wish we could have gotten a better feel for him in this book.
I did like M.J. she's a determined Heroine. Giley was a cool character as well.
The cover to the book is cute, however has absolutely NOTHING to do with the story, she doesn't dress like that at all. She dresses pretty normal in jeans and stuff.
