Review: Bill gets it
Rating: 4 out of 5

I have really mixed feelings about the book...First the good:The humor and character interaction is just as well written as the first two books, i.e. hilarious.The different creatures and their abilities/weaknesses are also well thought through, and the action scenes are great.The bad:I know its kinda the way the books are, but Bill is just constantly getting screwed over in this one. Constantly! Which makes for good tension and whatnot but it kinda wears on you as things just get worse and worse. Can't say I much liked the ending.Bill himself... so a D&D; playing nerd/ programmer doesn't figure out the value of working on his vamp skills/fighting (he's the amazing Freewill but apparently doesn't think its super important to practice his powers or get more info before someone snuffs him)Use the resources he has as head of the coven to say, make things a little easier on himself. He just lets Sally run over him like a Mack truck.Overall I liked the book because it is just that well-written.But Bill not only getting the short end of the stick, but getting it jammed in his eye over and over gets tiresome.
