A Tale of Two Goblins

I think I'm glad I found H.P. Mallory's books through the Jolie Wilkins series. Because if I'd started with Dulcie? Not sure I would have continued. apparently Dulcie is absolutely amazing at everything she does. Being a cop (ANC Regulator)? Yep, best there ever was. Being a writer? Oh look, first draft and the agent is clamoring to represent her. Being the bestest friend ever? She'll risk addiction and then not sleeping for days, just for you. Yet her decisions are never well thought out, often dangerous (see not sleeping for days) or just idiotic.

I thought the basic case she was working on - theDreamstalker thing - was vague. Or at best shallow plot. There wasn't detail as to who or why. I get wanting to save Sam andam perfectly fine with that, I just still don't quite believe the villain would target Dulcie to begin with.

I do appreciate that there so far appears to be a lack of a love triangle. With so many love interest possibilities in the first book, I was concerned about this one. And Dia absolutely makes me laugh. Often out loud

So, while this was a decent follow up to book 1, there were so many ways that it could have been better.
