Third Strike by Heather BrewerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The final novel of The Slayer Chronicles is a short one, perhaps the shortest Brewer has given us yet, but that doesn't make it any less punchy and powerful and cool. Though I still think The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod is Z's magnum opus for always and eternity, this entry in the series, continuing the secret behind-the-scenes saga of Joss McMillan before the events of the final two Vlad Tod books, proves to be an action-packed one, as well as filled with family drama, the ongoing threat of Kat's presence (right down to a surprisingly suspenseful scene in a movie theater - even the obvious presence of Beautiful Creatures and Soulbound trailers in that scene couldn't take me out completely!), the return of a presumably dead former favorite, and of course the clarification of Dorian's involvement with Joss.
Man, Brewer is good.
To The Slayer Chronicles, I say, again, ave atque vale.
