I didn't like this as much as My Heart in a Chainsaw though I did like the enduring friendship of Jade and Letha and how it didn't pretend the Independence Day Massacre didn't leave its scars. But Dark Mill South's gratuitous violence was a bit much for me. Stacey Graves both both supernatural and had a sort of logic, DMS was just pure evil. I was a bit confused about Cinnamon and Ginger all the way through too. Not sure if I'll read the final book but I do care about the recurring characters...
