Book Description
THAT DARK SWEET TASTE Careful about what other people promise you. It’s nearly Summer of 1975 and Pacini’s workpal Gus Butler is taking him to his hometown so they get some deep sea fishing accomplished. Sounds groovy. Ain’t groovy, though. Pacini ends up stranded in the charming burg of Butler, Florida with a bunch of religious zealot types, a big bully, and (he can’t help but notice) no fishing. There’s a pretty woman, though. Nice. There’s also Pacini’s lifelong problem to deal with. That’s Pacini himself. He digs bullying other people, he grooves on tormenting Gus Butler, and he’s not any more charming whilst killing time in this backwards, too damn religious burg. He really should wok on his attitude.

Joining them is the princess' loyal bodyguard, Ruyi, and Ning's newly healed sister, Shu. Together the four young women travel throughout the kingdom in search of allies to help oust the invaders and take back Zhen's rightful throne. But the golden serpent still haunts Ning's nightmares with visions of war and bloodshed.
