Rated May God Forgive 10/10
<div>This is probably my favorite noir series, so 5 stars is overcooking things a smidge, but I don't care. Compelling characters, a plot you're not figuring out right away, and a real sense of place.</div>

Rated Mistake 6/10
<i>Mistake</i> very much mimics the chaos of a noisy brain attempting to process some major life event.It's a volume I will likely reread once more, as now I feel compelled to better understand. Even flipping through for the purpose of reviewing, after reading it twice, I already notice more about what is happening on the page. I wouldn't say I loved <i>Mistake</i>, but I liked the challenge, and anything that makes me want to revisit it is probably a good thing. Students of poetry, I would certainly recommend doing the same.<br><br>(My full review appears on <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2012/12/mistake-by-meredith-stricker.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)
Rated Moonflower, Nightshade, All the Hours of the Day 8/10
I liked this, but especially the second to last (and the longest) story, set in a mall-as-civilization with magic.
