The Butcher and the Wren

Not the best pacing, and a twist that I sort of like yet think would have worked better had this been a sequel book. Butcher and the Wren is unfortunately far too reliant on superior pop culture references to the point it became very tedious to get through the author's constant desires comparisons. I swear Silence of the Lambs is brought up at least 10 times. By the time things start to pick up, the book is nearly over and by the time the ending arrives, it over far too quickly and extremely underwhelming.
