Dispatch started off as a coming of age story, as only Bentley Little could possibly pen one. I enjoyed the first half much more than the second, but still found the last half quite engaging. I would have marked this one as one of my top five Little books, but it seemed to me that the second half...
I would give this book three and a half stars if possible. It is a fairly fast-paced story of dark places, witches, monsters, and walking dead. (Not zombies, just dead people who walk.) Protagonist and private investigator Miles Huerdeen is rocked by the news of his father's sudden illness and...

Overall, I enjoyed this novel. This was my first experience with Little, and although I'm not sure I'm a fan of his work, it's likely that I'll give him another shot at some point. Little's style reminds me a lot of Dean Koontz, who apparently "discovered" Little, with the major difference being ...
Brad was not much of a dancer. In fact, he didnt dance at all. But he held Myla on a couple of the early slow songs, swayed back and forth and faked it. When the tempo picked up, he went to get them both drinks. He grinned at Ed, standing alone by the drink table and nursing a cup of punch. ...
