The Flesh Cartel #10: False Gods

I need Nikolai to be dead by the end of this series and if Dougie, sorry Douglas, goes back to him, I'll be pretty mad. How he could recover from what is happening I have no idea.
The series is starting to feel a bit drawn out to me as well. I kind of need it to be over. I'll keep reading the end to see how it plays out, but this felt more like, "how bad can we make things get for these two brothers."
It's Mat's story that I'm far more interested in. Here is hoping that eventually this series will make some sense. I don't see how at present that it can end satisfactorily.
