Minor spoilers in review.

Gummy Bears and Grenades is a cute little novella to bridge the gap between books 9 and 10. Dex is getting a Bachelor party. I’m not sure why Sloane isn’t also getting a Bachelor party….and it’s a little weird that Dex is getting one and not Sloane since they have all the same friends but….what do I know? Maybe Sloane didn’t want one and figured that since he’d be making a surprise appearance at Dex’s popping out of a cake (not really but sort of really) – then it was all good!

Of course, this is Dex so nothing goes smoothly – not even his Bachelor party. And now that Dex and all his buddies are either TIN operatives or TIN assets – things are even less likely to go smoothly. Dex however is not quite yet thinking like a TIN operative as evidenced by his not realizing that the would be kidnappers/torturers/assassins would have to be collateral damage – luckily Hudson’s long lost, no longer dead brother was lurking in the shadows and took care of business.

In short – not really any significant plot development; sort of a recap of where things stand and a fun check in with favorite characters. Also, the cover – is exactly how I picture Dex. Exactly.
