- I love this cover. Mostly I love that it's so ****ing purple, and then that the title is yellow and oddly placed. I also love her big, calmly intense eyes, and the way she cradles that gun lovingly between her breasts. Either this is a next-level sexy role-playing scenario, or someone is gonna get very murdered.
- I know when I go to rendezvous (-vouses?), my preferred method of travel is drifting.
- Series!? Here's the other Adam Knight book in the Pop Sensation archives—throwback! (2007).
- Scorching yellow!
- Tiny Shannon. That is a weird use of the front cover image.
- Wow, this passage and synopsis tell us ... nothing. It's boiler-plate, bot-written cover copy.

Serena's flat was a paradox. It screamed mediocrity, it stank of the buckeye in art and upholstery.
Don't know what it means, don't care what it means—but "it stank of the buckeye" is my new go-to judgment phrase.

Buckeye usually refers to Ohio.
Whatever decorative trends originate in Ohio, this apartment stank of them.
I think the phrase basically means utterly prosaic, lower middle class or those who aspire to that. People whose idea of decor and fine furnishings comes out of the Montgomery Ward catalog (not even Sears! Too highbrow.)
Buckeye = Ohio = flyover country = rubes and hicks.
