Pack of Lies<\/a><\/em> (2022) Charlie Adhara<\/a> (Monster Hunt)<\/p>\n

\"Pack<\/a>Whine whine whine. I don’t wanna read about Eli, I wanna read more about Cooper and Oliver.<\/p>\n

(finally picks up book)<\/p>\n

(devours book)<\/p>\n

(immediately preorders sequel)<\/p>\n

Eli is managing the retreat while Cooper and Oliver are on their honeymoon. What could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n

Multiple things, including a cryptid hunt, a nosy actor, and a dead body.<\/p>\n

He had plenty of experience with criminal investigations. Nearly always from the other side of things, but still. Surely that still counted for something.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Julian is struggling with the loss of his younger brother, and has come out to Maudit Falls in hopes of being able to put his grief behind him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been seeing this grief counselor and she gives me these little homework assignments. A couple weeks ago the assignment was to go somewhere I associate with Rocky and apologize to him. Let him apologize to me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eli is delightfully snarky.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo the roads often go out?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cMotto of the mountain, or so I\u2019ve heard. Come for the murder, stay because inclement weather and neglected infrastructure make it impossible to leave.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cDid Cody tell you that? I admit I\u2019m impressed; I didn\u2019t think he had the imagination.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cOh, he doesn\u2019t,\u201d Eli said. \u201cCody insists that you and Ian were hunting for buried treasure. I assumed he\u2019d gotten the wrong end of the euphemism.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
