But I say fuck the rain.

Vampires pushing for universal healthcare to drain blood from our poor womenfolk.

edit: This might sound offensive, but it feels like the most American book I've ever seen. He just ticks off all the redneck stereotypes.
Well, except Confederacy apologism and televangelism, but that's bound to come up later.

I’d say that’s probably the entire point, given that the White Court are almost entirely supernatural rapists.

The problematic part is Butcher put one of them on Team Scooby presenting him as a noble man for struggling with his desire to rape.
The problem is it's the single worst idea in a series full of bad ideas.

Is it, though? Fifty shades is more cringeworthy than anything, Twilight at least pretends to have a story..

What I'm kinda worried about with Fifty Shades is running out of material - I mean, okay, the prose is horrible, the story is cringeworthy - which you can tell by reading the first ten pages; what then?
With this and RPO we had the story constantly sinking into new depths of stupidity, while I haven't read Fifty Shades, I imagine the novelty would wear off pretty fast.

All the oomph has completely left this book now that its become a generic good vs evil thing.
What oomph?
