I liked the beginning of this. I really did.

When the main character, Daniel, gets told to show up at Jekyll & Hyde Inc because they can turn him into a monster so he can hunt other monsters in his quest for revenge. It was a fairly suspicious timing how Daniel decided to show up on the exact day where he would be extremely helpful in destroying an entire monster family. Suspicious, but there was already someone prepping for that mission so it was kind of okay. He'd be extra muscle!

But then Daniel and Tina jump into bed together, and spend several days in each others arm and only drags their asses back to Jekyll & Hyde Inc because they wouldn't want the Boss to show up on their doorstep looking for them. Mind you, this happened twice in the book. And both times, they arrive at the Boss Man's lair and get told their timing is perfect because TODAY of ALL DAYS with NO WARNING is when another monster family is having their annual gathering and they can go wipe out another monster family.

I am.. speechless at this decision by Simon R. Green. Who is an author I've read and enjoyed before. Why have this major plot hole when an unobtrusive text from the boss man, or his assistant, would have had the same effect without it seeming like this was written by a toddler.

And let us not ignore the fact that they spent the entire books saying how they were going to need to deal with the boss man at the end of the book because he was ALSO a monster who was up to no good just for them to be *gasp* betrayed! and then have an conversation about how "well I suppose we gotta kill him now" as if they hadn't been planning that from THE VERY BEGINNING!
