Look. I‘m a millennial. I occasionally speak in hashtags. I‘ve been known to say “lol” as a word. But I have almost NO idea what tf this says, and I‘m getting to the point with these chapters where I‘m thinking about just skipping them. (I mean, I know I won‘t because my brain won‘t let me, but LORD.) #shotgirl #jakonrath #jackdaniels

GondorGirl Wow. I'm a little horrified that I could follow the story there... but I don't think I could handle chapters full of this stuff! 😳😕 2y
actualdisneyprincess @GondorGirl I mean, I can figure most of it out if I actually pay attention to it, but like…I don‘t want to. It just feels like a cheap tactic to try to be ~relevant to today‘s culture~ and…just no thank you. It‘s really, really distracting, and doesn‘t work like I think Konrath wants it to. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y
actualdisneyprincess @GondorGirl (I really am getting to the point where I‘m like “…come on, self. Just skip his chapters. You can do it!!!” And the fact that I‘m even letting myself consider it is Big. 😂) 2y

GondorGirl @actualdisneyprincess I mean, you already know what kind of person he is and his chapters are making you crazy... I say skim them if you can't bring yourself to skip. 2y
actualdisneyprincess @GondorGirl The skim approach commences!!!! 2y
actualdisneyprincess ………okay, the big twist got me. Still hated the “look how up on current slang I am!!!” tactic, but the book overall ended up being satisfying. 2y

Mehso-so

Finished it; it redeemed itself a little bit by the end, but it was still FAR from the best of the series. The villains remained irritating. McGlade was still ridiculous in a not-good way. Also, there were a TON of typos, which annoyed me to high heaven. But onto the next three, when they get here through Interlibrary Loan. (The drink that inspired the title sounds amazing on this freezing day though…) #whiterussian #jakonrath #jackdaniels

Every time the villains get a chapter it sounds like this, and it‘s getting really, really old. I get the theory behind it, but it‘s grating, and honestly, not as effective as I think it wants to be. #whiterussian #jakonrath #jackdaniels

This one is…not nearly as good as the rest have been. I‘m hoping it either gets better by the end, or that the next one bounces back, because I‘ll be sad if I‘ve invested this much time in this series only to have it end up being disappointing. The villains are ridiculous, and Harry McGlade is QUICKLY becoming a caricature of himself - it was fun when he was entertaining and ridiculous. Now he‘s just getting stupid. #whiterussian #jakonrath

After several years, finally back to the world of Jack Daniels and Joe Konrath‘s wonderfully-twisted brain. I started and finished “Rum Runner” earlier today, so it‘s right on to the next! #lastcall #jackdaniels #jakonrath #blakecrouch #lutherkite
