I personally really like Michale Graves' voice but I do have to remind myself they are in theory the same band as he makes the songs sound very different to the Danzig-era ones. The songs here are a lot more fun, more sing-a-long than the old incarnation of the band but at the same time there feels like a lot less substance.
If in a certain mood, I would pick this album over Static Age or one of the Collections, but would probably skip a few songs in the middle.
But in hindsight, knowing what was to come later with Jerry singing I think we can all agree it could have been worse!
Our protagonist is in an agreed polygamist relationship with Seth and two other women all of whom know of the other's existence but not who they are. Seth splits his time between the 3 and all seems happy in her world until she decides to look into who the other women are. This is the part of the book that worked for me and it sounds crazy enough so trust me when I say it then goes off the hinges but not in an enjoyable way.
I slogged through until the even less satisfying end - sorry not for me.
Many thanks to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the ARC.

Nevernight ( Book 1)
By Jay Kristoff
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mia Corvere is only ten years old when she is given her first lesson in death.
Destined to destroy empires, the child raised in shadows made a promise on the day she lost everything: to avenge herself on those that shattered her world.
But the chance to strike against such powerful enemies will be fleeting, and Mia must become a weapon without equal. Before she seeks vengeance, she must seek training among the infamous assassins of the Red Church of Itreya.
Inside the Church's halls, Mia must prove herself against the deadliest of opponents and survive the tutelage of murderers, liars and daemons at the heart of a murder cult.
The Church is no ordinary school. But Mia is no ordinary student.
Oh I just loved it! It was dark and dangerous. I love his writing and this did not disappoint. It was everything I expected it to be, the story and characters were just so interesting I didn’t want to stop reading.

I was compelled to read this book soon after I read the previous one with the promise of an update on an ongoing storyline. We do get quite a twist there before this book is over. The main mystery was a little weak, however. I didn’t feel like it had the twists we normally get, although maybe that’s because I had an idea what was going early in the book. The pages still flew by since the characters are strong and the time period comes to vivid life. Any time spent in this series is time well spent.
