I mostly get bugged by the extremely self-conscious level of Sass they try to cram into the narrative voice; it rings false. I don't object to "fantasy" at all, and "urban" can still snag my interest, but the "chick lit" part is asking too much.

Although I must admit, I've never had as much interest in the dead aspects of fantasy. Ghosts are okay, but vampires, zombies, and werewolves leave me, well, cold.

I am glad to find someone else is not particularly thrilled by a high percentage of sex in books. I myself dislike sex scenes somethin' fierce.

Also, I haven't been paying attention with Mastiff, but I am definitely looking forward to it. Hell yeah, high medieval fantasyland crime fiction!
