![]() FYI: I would totally pee on your foot, Katie peyote notwithstanding. That right there was when I decided I loved this story. Wolf defends himself by stating, “To be fair, it did have flaming ants on it. Days later, they get into an argument and Tristan accuses Wolf of peeing on his foot while they were both hallucinating. For example, within the first few pages our heroes consume some baklava made by Wolf’s hippie-medium mother which, unbeknownst to them, was prepared using peyote-laced honey. There is a genuine sweetness to them and at times all-out absurdity. They hunt ghosts, bicker, reconcile and lob snark bombs at each other, all while negotiating typical relationship growing pains and managing a supporting cast of characters right out of a carnival sideshow. Tristan is not as amused by this as I am. Speaking of which, Wolf’s nickname for Tristan is Thursday (as in, Thursday Addams because Wednesday was taken). ![]() Weird ‘cause RFord is actually a pretty clever writer… maybe she should have asked Wolf for help. I respect a good pun but put off reading the first book for months because I didn’t get it and thought the title was random as hell. Patty: Yeah, the first one was OK: Fish and Ghosts, a play on fish and guests and the whole three day thing. You can leave a comment below or find me on Twitter. Rhys Ford, please, for the love of a good book, ask if you need help with titles. They have terrible titles, but that isn’t the fault of the books. Katie: Okay, lemme just start out by saying that I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how good the Hellsinger series has been so far.
