Kit Metcalf isn't your usual protagonist, a Grey Goose-swilling, therapy-seeking, Nietzsche-quoting, martial-arts-kicking stripper.

Clearly, Ms. Reviewer, you have not been introduced to the world of fanfiction.

What on earth is this that she's reviewing? I'm intrigued. :)

A book called The Devil's Backbone, by Kim Wozencraft.

When she's attacked in the strip-club parking lot and her cop sister is later murdered, Kit suspects her sibling's supposedly nice-guy fiancé, who's been secretly watching her dance. Meanwhile, she has a testy relationship with her Texas Ranger dad, who's always favored dearly departed Sis. She'll find the killer, of course, after several plot twists and pole dances. But the real juice is in Kit's tortured internal monologue, in which Wozencraft paints an alternately witty and harrowing picture of dysfunction. B+

I yawned when I read the description, which obviously intrigued the reviewer. That's when I realized how jaded I've become.

WORD!

I'd say he's your pretty bog-standard protag in any ficathon entry on any comm in this fandom.

Is he written in second person present tense pov, by any chance?

*snort* That POV would be hilarious. Then we could just change the stripper's name to Harry and enter it!
