I thought Taste of Wrath, the last in Matt Wallace's Sin du Jour novella series, wasn't due out until May so I was pleasantly surprised when it downloaded itself to my Kindle yesterday. I've really enjoyed this series, which has successfully sold me on its brand of dry-but-silly humour - it's the kind of thing that could easily become too much, and yet somehow Wallace always pulls it off.

Taste of Wrath itself is definitely a "season finale" of a novella (actually a short novel by length, I think), and as such it doesn't really introduce much in the way of its own plot, focusing instead on presenting the big showdown that's been building over the course of the series. This gets a little bit scrappy as various teams end up splitting off and doing different things, and I did lose track of who was doing what where at a couple of points, but by the end I felt it was a worthy send-off to most of the characters, and a fitting ending for the series as a whole.
