    Finished - and awww, no Ivy.

    . . . That's my only complaint, though.

    *Chuckles* Yeah - not quite what I expected, but not too far off the mark . . . Hilariously so, though.

    I just finished reading Skin Game. and it was GLORIOUS. It was truly a thing of beauty. I don't know when I've ever liked one of Harry's little plans, and I doubt I ever will. The fact that Butcher may make me change my mind sometime down the road fills me with awe and glee.

    Well played, Mr. Butcher. Well played.

    Evil Bigfoot! Evil Bigfoot!

    Also "the Parasite".

    And notice Murph is no longer Murph in the narrative. It's Karrin now. I wonder if anyone else noticed that.

    Forest is a vampire who's a bit too good for her own good and doesn't know when to leave things alone. Armed with a ridiculously large hand gun, martial arts skills, a bitching pony car, and a love for pop culture she fights the forces of evil. Urban Fantasy 80's Style.

    The book was pretty good, not quite what I expected after Cold Days, but good nevertheless.

    Yeah, he started calling her Karrin in Cold Days IIRC.

    Oh. And he still calls Molly Molls only on special cases. The bastard. At least, only Alfred calls her Grasshopper. Alfred. Goddammit, Dresden Zeus.

    Anyway, Polka lives and makes the practicioner quite badass. All hail, Polka. And Star Wars.

    Spoiler:
    Now then, since I did look back at Ghost Story to get what Lasciel was talking about... If I got that right, she should've pretty much destroyed whatever was left of their link with Dresden by her li'l whisper back in Changes. But how the hell did Dresden's... uh, mental image caught scent of Lasciel in Ascher? Surely not with help from child. BTW, wanna call her Athena since it fits, but well, Butcher should have a better name.

    actually, I think he did call her molls at least once, though I could be wrong. I feel like I remember reading past it and then checking back out of curiousity

    He's Dresden's subconscious (if he really is his subconscious, and not a construct of some sort). The subconscious always picks up on things before you realise properly. Think about it- an extremely talented, knowledgable, seductive woman going directly for Dresden without any ulterior motives? pls.

    Regarding the proper name for the parasite - I thought of that myself, and I'd be OK with it.

    However, she was running with the Nickleheads. They've gotten the coin back. Id!Harry just put two and two together and got the right answer.

    Come on, it's Butcher. He's probably going to give her some name like Tina or some sort.


    About "Karrin" though, Harry's been thinking of her in that way and not "Murphy" ever since she has been upgraded to Bad Ass Normal Bro to Romantic Interest.

    Oh god, I just realized that Murph now has a Death Flag.

    Nah, Murphy will probably be around for a while, she's Team Dresden's Token Normal.

    Though I must admit that being a LI of Harry's is not a good sign.
