101. Old Fort Snelling: 1819-1858 by Marcus L. Hansen.
102. Thor: The Mighty Avenger, Volume 1 by Roger Landgridge, Chris Samnee, and Matthew Wilson.
103. Ripley Under Water by Patricia Highsmith.
104. Darkness Calls by Marjorie M. Liu. Second book in the Hunter Kiss series, the sequel to The Iron Hunt. I can't figure out if Liu's mythology is mostly idiosyncratic, or it's drawing upon influences that I'm just not familiar with; whatever the case, I found myself (again) pretty off-balance through much of the book. At times this was frustrating, but Liu pulls it off in the end, despite the complexity. In large part this is because she's good at keeping the reader wanting to know what happens next; more than once I realized I had started a new chapter without even realizing it. These books are such a blend of genres and genre-twisting--I suppose they might be closest to paranormal romance, but with the sort of Beta-Male approach of Jenn Reese's Jade Tiger, and a Buffy-like mix of apocalyptic fantasy and superhero team-building (except darker). I guess the fact that it's hard to describe is part of why I enjoy it; I have some small reservations (like the fact that Maxine's demon-tattoo-bodyguards have terrible taste in music), but I will be reading the third book in this series before long.
