about

Veronica Marsmeets theWorld of WarcraftinThe Astonishing Mistakes of Dahlia Moss, a mystery romp with a most unexpected heroine.

You'd think that after I took a bullet in my arm following my last case that I'd be timid about going in guns blazing a second time. But you'd be wrong. I faced down death, and the only bad thing that happened was that I got a cool scar. Which is a like a tattoo, but with street cred.
I may have been a little overconfident this time. And that may have seriously clouded my judgment. Some small, but confidently made, mistakes include:
  • Unwisely meeting up with an internet stalker in real life.
  • Eating a large breakfast before discovering a corpse.
  • Kidnapping.
  • Standing uncomfortably close to the edge of a steamboat while musing that nothing bad could possibly happen.
  • Kidnapping, again
That's the thing about a sense of invulnerability -- you usually get it right before things go terribly, terribly, wrong.

Reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Entertaining and quirky read I was very excited for this book when I read the description that it was a mix of "Veronica Mars meets World of War Craft" more for the Veronica Mars element. I love the character of Dahlia who is lovable, geeky, and quirky. Her inner dialogue was laugh out loud funny. I did find it to be a slow read for the first 3/4s of the book but the end really picked up. I did find following some of the gaming scenes hard to follow. As well, there were a fair amount of characters to keep straight, however I did enjoy overall and am looking forward to reading the sequels. Would definitely recommend giving this book a chance - its very different than anything else I have read and humorous.
