She could have worked through her college. 'Show me if your fancy schooling was worth the money somebody else shelled out for it.' Again, he doesn't know anything about his new partner. To tell you the truth, I disliked Shay too especially in this scene after which she mockingly calls that woman Chesty St. They met only a couple of hours ago for the first damn time.

Only women know how to do that because we are all the same. All women have the ability to generate such a look, but most can only do so when in the temporal and spatial vicinity of a woman substantially more attractive than them. *** Shay gave me a sidelong look only women can give-a mixture of jealousy, disgust, and contempt all rolled into one piercing glance. His thumb and index finger joined together in a circle while his three other digits splayed out radially-the international signal for ‘you got it’. So you know, I like my coffee black with a hint of sugar.' *** ' shot me a hand sign. Captain would’ve been pissed.'*** 'Nice to meet you, sweetheart. 'The word ‘greenies’ carried centuries of hateful racial overtones with it, and considering the neighborhood, if any goblins had overheard me we could’ve faced a rising tide of angry race riots. Some of it is plain weird (as if it is written for people who need extra explanations) and not everything involves Steele. Not everything is about misogyny and sexism and such.

I lost count how many times she rolled her eyes.Īnd let me just leave a couple of gems here if nothing but to remind myself of the things I didn't like in this book. Unless you count the other two detectives (I would prefer their story to this), there was no real investigation.Īs for Shay Steele, his new partner, I thought she would have more of a backbone.
You know, takes a lot of skill to stumble from one suspect to another accusing them of things until one of them says 'oh, you got me'. We are constantly told by him or others around him how great his deductive skills are. None of the things he says or does in the course of the story are funny or endearing. The first time he sees his new partner (he doesn't know that then) he calls her sweetheart. You know, it is very important how hot or old you are to get to the truth. Every woman he meets in this so-called investigation is first checked-out. There are many overbearing, impolite, hard characters, but not many are as this one. This book with its creep of a main character tries too damn hard that it is embarrassing at times. One of my favourite characters ever is a necromancer who doesn't really give a damn about his fellow man (an understatement if there ever was one). Even those you love to hate have to be written well. However, not everyone can write such characters. Now, I like urban fantasies with male leads. The mystery was lukewarm at best - one of those where the protagonists attack everyone except the person responsible.

Book two, COLD HARD STEELE, is now available. This is book one of the Daggers & Steele mystery series. In a debut case teeming with fire mages, foundries, and a dead guy who's crispier than bacon, it's pretty clear Daggers isn't the only one getting a heaping helping of RED HOT STEELE. She's a powerful forensic psychic, and she's got sass oozing out of her boots. It seems like a match made in Daggers' imagination, but Steele's no pushover. So when his older-than-dust partner throws his back out on a goblin raid, his captain assigns him a new running mate-a sexy young half-elf by the name of Shay Steele. Detective Jake Daggers likes his murder investigations the way he likes his women-straightforward, easy, and with a killer body.
