Snack time

(I don’t think I’ve actually posted this on here yet so here you guys go!)

Cherise really enjoyed having a cat around the house for extra company so to show how much she appreciated having Mr. Fuzzy boots as Nick so affectionately referred to the new addition to their small family, she splurged and got a bag of cat treats for him and he seemed to take to them right away.

*****

Xev wasn’t sure what was in these little pieces of food that Cherise kept giving him but he really enjoyed them, though after spending an eternity in a hell realm anything tasted good, but he really liked these so he had convinced Nick to bring him more.

Much to Nicks dismay Xev would eat them even in his human form and he really didn’t need to draw any more attention to himself so Nick always made sure to disguise the bag as something else before people started asking questions like why the giant anime reject was eating cat food.

Best not to tick off a cursed god with social issues and extreme PTSD, even with only a fraction of his powers things would not go well for the local Neanderthals that passed as his classmates or random jerks on the street, so what they saw was a bag of trail mix or granola because why not?

*****

Nick is walking with Xev to sanctuary to pick up his mom from work for the night, Xev had insisted on accompanying them because well let’s face it they were both magnets for trouble.

Nick didn’t mind having him along and his mom being the saintly soul that she is loved having him around and thought it was very sweet of him to offer to walk them home at night.

Nick just wished Xev would leave the cat treats at home for once. Please gods and other entities couldn’t he leave the freaking bag at home just once? But maybe that was too much to ask.

They arrived at the famed bar and grill and the bear of a man watching the door was Nick’s good friend Dev.

“Hey Dev, my mom ready?”

Dev smiled at them when he noticed them.

“She’ll be out soon I’m sure, you know your mama is always happy when you come to walk her home, she’s always bragging about you to the rest of the staff, though if you keep this up you’ll make the rest of us look bad.”

Nick laughed knowing his mom had a bad habit of doing that.

”Well you know my mama would ground me till the end of time if I so much as have wicked thoughts so I need to be on my best behaviour as much as I can be.”

Dev nodded his understanding.

“Some nights I wonder if I should switch jobs with her, for such a little thing your mom can be truly terrifying.”

Nick grinned.

“Yeah she’s small but she’s fierce.”

Xev hangs back while he listens to their conversation. It still amazed him that Nick could stand so close to shape shifters like those who ran this bar and other non-human entities and none of them had a clue what he really was, though it made his job a whole lot easier.

Dev looked up and greeted Xev as well.

“Hey, you on guard duty again?”

The staff at sanctuary had grown accustomed to seeing Xev by now hanging out with Nick and picking up Cherise when Nick was running late. Since Nick was friends with people like Acheron, Simi, Eric, and Tabitha, one more Goth type wasn’t very surprising and he seemed like a decent person so everyone treated him well.

Everyone knew that Nick had bad luck when it came to trouble so they had taken to referring to Xev as the body guard (they didn’t know just how right they were).

“Yeah, you can never be too careful.”

Dev nodded.

“Too true. If you weren’t here I’m sure one of us would have had to take up the job of Nick-sitting.”

“Hey! I’m right here you know!” Nick huffed crossing his arms over his chest.

“We know.” Dev grins at him.

The door opened and Cherise came out with a big smile on her face at the sight of them.

“Hello boys, you’re here on time I see.” she turned to Dev, “I hope they weren’t bothering you while you were working Dev.”

Dev smiled and shook his head though.

“No bother at all cher, it’s kind of slow right now so a little conversation really helps kill the boredom, you have a good night now.”

She smiled and patted his arm.

“Thanks, you too.” And with that the three of them were on their way back to the condo.

As they walked Xev had pulled the bag of kitty treats out of his pocket again and started eating them as they walked.

Cherise saw it and was curious.

“What do you have there?”

Nick had to glance at the bag to remember what he transformed it into this time to come up with something fast.

“It’s granola ma, he’s become addicted to it recently, he’s on a special diet right now so he takes some with him where ever he goes.” that last part was more directed at Xev to let him know that he really had a problem going, but Xev just rolled his eyes and continued eating.

“Is that so? Well maybe I should try some.”

Nick began to panic, there was no way he was going to let his mom eat cat treats thinking it was granola, luckily Xev stepped in with one of those creative truths that kept Nick from being grounded until he met Saint Peter at the gates.

“It’s a very specific diet, so it’s probably not a good idea to share, but if you like I can bring you some granola the next time I stop by Cherise.”

Wow why couldn’t Nick be able to bend the truth like that so convincingly? Points to Xev on working the special diet thing so well.

His mom seemed to except this well enough.

“Alright, I’ll look forward to it then. Would you like to join us for a late dinner Xev? it wouldn’t be any trouble.”

Xev glanced at Nick.

“Thanks for the offer but I should be going. Have a good night.” he turned and walked away after they had reached the front door of the building. But Nick knew that once he was out of sight Xev would flash himself into the condo in cat form so that his mom doesn’t find out that their cat was ever missing.

“He’s such a nice boy, I’m happy that you have such well-mannered friends boo, you’re a good judge of character, I know most people would look at some of your friends and judge them harshly but they are all down right decent.”

Bless his saintly mom who could see past what was on the outside of people or in the case of much of their friends, almost people. But even she might find it hard to look past the friend with the cat treat addiction; though she seemed to handle Simi’s weird tastes such as BBQ sauce and ice-cream pretty well.

Now the only thing left was to Keep replacing the bags of cat treats so his mom never finds out just how many Mr. Fuzzy boots really eats. He was beginning to be the local pet shops favorite costumer.

Instinct by Sherrilyn McQueen

Series: Chronicles of Nick, #6 Read time: 2 Days Rating: 5/5

The quote: You were kind to me and I don’t believe in repaying kindness with cruelty. — Xevikan Daraxerxes

God Xev breaks my heart. A whole lot of the support cast in CoN are heartbreaking but there is something else about Xevikan that is just something else. He is pain, PTSD and power. “To give you an inkling, Gautier, I was the only ancient god born who could kill a Chthonian.”, look he is terrifying powerful and I adore him. I love Caleb I do but his inability to listen to Xev's side of the Liliana disaster makes me want to cry, slap him and then say 'what would Liliana say to you now'. Xev is tortured by that moment and we see it, I want to see more of it because there is trauma there that needs to understood. His reaction to Aeron says a lot. Oh and I'm so pleased with how we've met Aeron, I knew of him but not his story. Though there is something truly musing about seeing Xev as an Egyptian Mau nicknamed Mr. Fuzzy Boots., of course, Xev hates the name. Nick and Xev have one of the best relationships in the series. Nick is the only person who sees Xev. I know that was an unusual start, I needed to get it out of my system.

While Illusion helps the readers understand Kody and her parentage and family, Instinct deals as best as it can with Calebs. But Caleb's family is, at best, complicated. And this entire book is essentially done with Caleb absent due to the monster of the week. That monster of the week was someone I had not even thought of. I'm not sure entirely where this fits in. At times it feels like it follows on almost immediately from Illusion, at times it feels like some time has passed. But there is one line I found interesting "He’d only known it existed for less than two years." between Infinity and the end of Instinct is less than two years, and there is a year-long gap in there somewhere. There is a lot to digest coming out of this. All the characters in play, the changes in the world in dynamic and the new pieces of lore to deal with. The plot boils down to Nick working with his allies to save Cherise and Caleb and deciding whom he can trust. CoN books seem to have simplistic plots but the plot is not the point of them, they are character and lore driven. And the plot does well to display the characters in different lights. It gives some idea of where this might be going and Ambrose's shocking appearance was not a good sign. I really enjoyed this it moves at a good pace and doesn't try to do anything too smart. But I really wish there were family trees for some of these characters somewhere. That conversation between Xev and Mennie gets complicated fast even knowing the players. That said the ignorance is in line with Nick's knowledge base so it does fit.

All right have a dump of notes because otherwise, this review becomes obscenely long.

The six generals of the ušumgallu. Grim, Bane and Laguerre who live permanently earthside. The others who had to be called, Xevikan, Livia and Yrre.

The six primal gods. Those of the light; Razer, Cam and Verlyn. Those of the dark; Noir, Azure and Braith. Braith is complicated, while she aligns to the dark she is more grey. Two of the primary gods are missing; Razer and Braith. Verlyn was captured.

It wasn’t easy being Death. Made it hard to make friends. Harder still to keep them. No one was ever really happy to see you. Being around anyone tended to make them nervous and jumpy. Really sucked most days." — Being is Grim's head is something different. That is where we spend the prologue.

Braith got screwed by her siblings. I don't blame her from hiding from them for such a long time.

Zeitjägers. That's Germanic and German is a constructive language. Zeit is time. Jäger is hunter. Zeitjägers are entirely Sherri's creation as far as I can tell. But German is an interesting choice linguistically.

“Believe it or not, he can be quite charming when he’s not psychotic. And Hekate has always had a thing for bad boys.” — This about Noir. This is right after we meet Dagon, their son.

“That was you what done that with Zeus and them Arcadians and gots into all that trouble? Ooo, I remember that. That was so bad for you, but so nice for you to do! You the Simi’s hero.” — mine too Simi queen, mine too. Long story short Dagon helped Lycaon create the Were-hunters. I didn't know we knew him. And with his parentage, I'm not surprised he's willing to rebel.

Oh Noir, how did you get that body?  And can please gtfo so we can have it back?

I knew Aeron was going to be important but I didn't understand why.

“But be warned with that lineup, Malachai, you have chosen one of the most powerful groups ever assembled. Together, they could wield enough power to one day kill you.” — Damn Nick that is a smart play. It's an insurance policy. Also good choices, they are all super intelligent in their own fields too.

As an aside. I can't remember another character like Liliana. A character with a shattering impact who is never met. She feels like more than Caleb's wife at times, she feels like an anchor for him. As Nick points out other characters in Sherri's verses have this but we spend substantial time with them in flashbacks. That is not the case with Liliana.

Am I the only one reading this series that feels like there is a book missing? When did Nick find out about Mennie/Ma'at, Nashira, his brother, Monakribos (well his name), in some ways even the names of the 6 source? These aren't just important to Nick, they are important to US. While I do read the Dark-Hunter novels as well and am aware of some of the surrounding lore the primary intended audience of the CoN series would not be. The DH novels are aimed at adults and contain content as such, the CoN novels are aimed at those in their teens.

I want to add this too... this is what an Egyptian Mau looks like.

And when you know Xev has an attitude (for a reason) this is perfect.

Another headcanon but also kind of theory?? Though Caleb and Xev are not actually human, their human form appearances are actually Persian but much like Savitar people can't tell if they're Mediterranean or Middle Eastern. It's canon that Xev's accent is Khvervn (spelling??) which was a city in Persia so yeah

#chronicles of nick #caleb malphas #xevikan #I mean it's probably more accurate to say Mesopotamian #but I like them being Persian specifically #also Xev's name sounds kinda Persian xevikan daraxerxes #daraxerxes translates to fuckin blood king so no wonder he got that position in the usumgallu #I know it's last headcanon day but who cares not me #this probably applies for jaden too for his human appearance

This entire scene is just so sweet. I need more of Xev being this loving overprotective guardian figure around Nick. It's too cute.
