Cracked by Eliza Crewe

Well, I wasn't really in the mood for an anti-hero, and then I realized that I'd picked up yet another Strange Chemistry publication (in my experience, a world of mediocrity), and that we were in a demon universe and this Did Not Bode Well. It was a bit of a drag at first, but Meda did win me over somewhat by the end. She's mean snark rather than really clever snark, but she did have some good one-liners and the world was fairly interesting. Also, Templars, fancy meeting you in a trailer park run by a motorcycle gang (ok, that was both funny and clever in concept). Like I said, it won me over. The writing's a bit rough around the edges, but there's all kinds of potential here.
