You misled me, Mr. Bevan. Tsk. Tsk.

The experience of reading “Sticky White Mess” is kind of hard to put into words. There’s action, there’s lust mistaken for romance, and there’s spider splooge. At first reading this story was like back in the day when my brother and his friends would sit in his bedroom playing Dungeons and Dragons or whatever it was they played (I’m probably wrong) and I’d be in the living room listening to their chatter (I wasn’t allowed hanging out with them, because my coolness would’ve messed with their gaming mojo). Only this time, I laughed and laughed, and I knew what was going on.

I’d love to list a few of my favorite lines, but I’m not sure what the Amazon gods would say about them, since they’re all the ones with f-bombs and such.

Anyway, I was snorting, chuckling, etc. through most of this story, which is always refreshing. I think Cooper is my favorite character, probably because he gets all the best lines.

I haven’t read Bevan’s previous Cavern’s and Creatures books (although I plan to), but it was recommended I read in order. If you’re one of the short bus folks, you should probably follow that advice. We don’t want you more confused than you already are. The rest of you, Bevan is pretty good at easing the newbs into the action, so (in my opinion) you’ll enjoy these books no matter what order you read them in.

Basically, if you’re looking for a lighthearted, get you out of the PMS doldrums kind of read, I recommend Mr. Bevan’s books. Trust me. His work has been officially tested and proven to be highly effective.
