Review: This story is part of a series and is best read in order. Purchase Link: This edition is no longer available. Lycanthropy, loose-cannon mages, and Lugh conspire to make a hellish mess out of things – but the real peril begins when Diego loses an important piece of his mind. When Finn falls terribly ill and a monstrous creature attacks Zack one night, things quickly slide into disaster. Strange sightings, spontaneous explosions of magic and odd bends in reality crop up. Of course, around the fae, a man learns never to say ‘things can’t possibly get any worse.’ Unexplained events have begun to plague the human world. Throw in the fact that he’s pretty damn sure he’s fallen in love with his boss, and things are close to unmanageable. Working as a Marine medic in a secret government installation was odd, but working as a human liaison to the fae and as the personal assistant to a sidhe prince is downright bizarre. If not, I hope the list helps.Publisher: Mischief Corner (13 th & 23 rd January 2013)īlurb: Zack thought he had a strange job before. GOLF - military phonetic for the letter 'G' three-golf: (Have NO frigging clue - Mrella).
five-hotel: Five Hours? HOTEL - military phonetic for the letter 'H' That's a sec that took me out of the story. CP is, obviously, Combat Post, still took a sec for my mind to decypher. EOD: Explosive Ordnance Disposal (Specialist Jobs). BLUFOR: In military wargames, blue is generally used to represent friendly forces and red (though sometimes orange) to represent enemy forces. OCS: Officer Candidate School or Officer Cadet School
Combat boots or any shoes for that matter. Gunny: nickname for Gunnery Sergeant, improper to call a Master Gunnery Sergeant this List of US Marine Corps acronyms and expressions US Marine Military Ranks, Lowest to Highest The author should have provided a list of military terms and their translation, but since she didn't, this is for those of you who is not "in the know": I suspect a few of these words/abbreviations might be well known to those who grew up in the US, but then again, a lot of it is still a mystery to even your average American, who has nothing to do with the military - I know, I asked around and bugged the hell out of my husband and friends. HUGE pet peeve: specialized language and/or foreign language. The language is dry and heavy with unnecessary details and peculiar military terms. The story reads like a manual on werewolves, mostly werewolves' mating/sex. There is a very disappointing amount of military action, considering the location as well as the length of the book.
