TW book review: Something in the Water

[rm]

I mean, I like them all, but I really like this one. It has almost nothing to do with Jack's past, and when it does it's quick and clever and a bit off balance.

It's got an interesting plot, good characterizations (Ianto is hilarious in this one) and you get to see Jack really and truly freaked out and it reads totally believably.

There's a brutality to the book that makes it feel not particularly cartoonish, which I like, but it also means:

- it's pretty gross with something resembling a killer flu/mpreg plotline
- the resolution is confusing
- a dog gets decapitated by what is described as a "crocodile with a jet pack"
- alien women are instruments of evil

The visual I'm getting of a crocodile with a jet pack is made of awesome. Wish I could draw.

As a side note into my current state of mind, I initially thought "TW book review" stood for "Twilight book review", and for a brief moment I was appalled on your behalf.

I want a crocodile with a jet pack. I could walk him around the park and have him take out little kids.
