Opening Shots: Half the Blood of Brooklyn

BERJAYAI don't like him. I don't like the way he smells. I don't like the way he looks. I don't like his shoes. If I stuck a blade in him and drank the blood that shot out of the open wound, I wouldn't like the way he tastes.

Half the Blood of Brooklyn
by Charlie Huston
(Del Rey, 2007)

("Opening Shots" is a new feature here at Secret Dead Blog where I post the opening line of a particular novel. Check back every Monday for more!)

Charlie Huston knows knows how to open a book and close it and everything in between. It's an awesome opener.

That one has the best ending of the series so far. Can't wait for book 4.
