Stopped at page 136; the exact line, "I saw you glowing like the Madonna, mi amore!"
I decided to read this book because my daughter is writing a fantasy/thriller and she bought two Liparulo paperbacks to get a feel for the type of book selling right now.
The opening line is, "He waited with his face pressed against the warm metal and his pistol gouging the skin at his lower back." Oh yeah, I love that: sensual, concrete, in media res. The plot ripped along, the mystery beckoned, the writing style seductive, the narration -a swig of dark ale, but a hint of a possible romance between two of the characters threatened the entire experience-like trying to enjoy a ripe peach with a rotten core.

Well I finished Germ and it was awesome. :) I think you'll like germ. You don't have to worry about any romance stuff. I will have to try the other book when I get back from Europe.
