THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.
Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.) I will be DELETING all comments containing spoilers which have been left on other posts. No one gets to spoil people here without a label.
You can also start a discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.
Have fun, and try not to bleed on the carpet.

My local independent had several copies, and they were faced. Yay! So, clearly, I'm not the only fan in the area. I keep trying to get my book club to pick one of your several books, but, so far, no luck.
Anyway.
Kept exulting at how affectionate and adorable Toby and Tybalt are together. Then I'd get a sinking feeling about something bad happening to keep them apart, or Tybalt dying, or something along those lines. Definitely kept me flipping pages.
I chuckled at the references to dog parks. I'm pretty sure the final copy of this was turned in before you started listening to Welcome to Night Vale, but I still decided they were Night Vale references, anyway. Even if it just added a level of humor to Cecil's reference to the dog park when you listen.
I loved Tybalt's horror at meeting the Borderlands cat. It's nice to see Toby nonplussed and him freaking out about something that won't kill her. The whole Borderlands inclusion was pretty awesome, and now I really, really want to see it for myself. Damn rest of the country between me and it . . .
Are the humans populating it anything like the current staff? Or did you use artistic license there?
