Slippery Creatures discussion

It's been a week! (and oh what a week it's been)

Let's discuss Slippery Creatures. Here be spoilers in the comments!

Did you love the characters? The world? The plot? Have you read other KJ Charles books that you'd compare it with? Things that are in common with other books? Things that are new? How do you feel about it being the first book of a trilogy and how this one ends taking that into account?

So charming and competent and calculating and vulnerable and so utterly unreliable. Except when he isn't. And then he is again

This - I liked the part where Will goes "It would help if you were more reliably unreliable. At least I'd know where I stood."

That must have been terrible, to write a book about an engineered virus that would turn into a pandemic if released, and then have the real world erupt in a pandemic shortly before the book release. I mean, what are the odds?

Same!
