Just an avid reader. Mostly SF/Fantasy, some hobbies, paranormal, urban fantasy and lighter, fluffier things.
Oh the melodrama!
But in this series, it works.
Just ignore any potential crush/love-interest bits and go with it because none of these characters really have any clue about that or even who the heroes or villains are.
Plus, at the risk of mild spoiler if new to this series, previous books have already gone into Little-Joe-from-Bonanza territory with some of the romance.
