Synopsis (Goodreads):

As a conman-turned-MPD-Agent, I'm fairly new to the whole "upholder of justice" thing, but even for me, there are some lines you just don't cross. Agent Söze of the MPD's Internal Affairs department, on other hand, seems determined to slime his way across every ethical line in existence like an over-sized eel on a power trip.

Can you tell I don't like this guy?

While he's dismantling the precinct and hunting down rule-breakers among the staff—a category which my partner and I definitely fall into—a veritable storm of crazy is spreading through the city. Local troublemaking guild, the Crow and Hammer, has been accused of harboring a demon mage, and while I'm not sure what to believe, I've got bigger problems to tackle.

That is, until a certain notorious rogue druid calls me up about that big IOU I accidentally promised him. Now I have no choice but to dive into the chaos—though if I can knock Söze down a peg or two in the process, it'll be worth it.

Thoughts on More Than a Little Warped: No joke, I had forgotten how WILD things got when Agent Söze was stirring up trouble for the Crow & Hammer. I mean, mercenaries, magic, and mayhem were only the start of it. And Kit and Lienna were in the middle of it. You know, if the middle was in MPD's headquarters.

In other words, while they were definitely involved, they were causing havoc for the bad guys behind the scenes. Or at least they were trying to move the pieces around the board (and checkmate more than a few of them) who were causing the most problems.

The good news, Kit got to shine in full-on chaos gremlin mode. The bad news, Lienna and Kit have (not purposefully) handing some very powerful magic to the bad guys. Which is bad. So bad.

Dangerous happenings are taking place, bad guys are crawling out of the woodwork, Kit's magic is wicked powerful, and Lienna's learning the fie art of bending the rules from a master. I'm talking about Kit, btw. The guy is VERY good at walking the line between bending and outright breaking said rules. *thumbs up*
