Get Vexed!
Mill Avenue Vexations blends the rich street culture of Tempe’s Mill Avenue into a vibrant fantasy macrocosm involving the dark supernatural, an occult-powered taxi cab, and a Goth named Vex.
Remarkably engrossing, these volumes are not your ordinary work of dark fiction. They offer unique characters and strong plotlines that engage the reader into the eerily playful world of the paranormal.
As these adventures unfold, we learn more about Vex’s past and how it has shaped her career as a pentacle-wearing, wand-wielding cabbie. Besides the published volumes with the absolutely gorgeous cover art, there are some short stories on the fansite that are just as enjoyable, such as "I Do Not Want Fries With That" and the ever-popular "Hello Cory".
Vexations is a good read for us Phoenicians or anyone interested in tales of the paranormal with a dose of comedy and Gothic style!

Mayhem in the Desert
The metro Phoenix area is a place quite different from anywhere else I have ever been. Each piece is so independent from the rest. Mill Avenue Vexations is set in a small college town, or at least, that’s what Tempe feels like. Vex protects the students and others there, whether they realize it or not, and she’s awesome. She’s this kinda crazy chick with some definite personal issues. It’s so easy to believe in her, and root for her. I have been reading this story since the beginning, and was drawn in immediately. Each volume shows improvements in the story and Kyt really settling in to his storytelling style. I’ve reached a point where I even know the different characters’ names, which is a feat and a half for me, even when I care about them. This is a great story line, with some interesting side volumes as well. I’m always eager for the next volume, and while I never want it to end, I’m also incredibly curious to find out why in the heck Vex is standing there with a gun.

just another review.
whenever i attempt to give a review or my personal opinion on a piece of media, i am never quite sure where to begin. in the case of Mill Ave . . . do i speak of the intricate gothic, pagan, or bits of gore-like themes? do i tell you of the strange, yet vast array of characters? mayhaps i should talk of the brilliant writing and mastermind behind it all . . . but no, i will do none of those.
when i read a story, i look for those that i can easily lose myself in the words. i look for not just text on a page or a screen, but words that can paint a picture..words that can take me places i’ve never been to.. and words that leave me ever-curious for what may happen next. Mill Ave does all of those things. it is a wonderful series, and it is extremely addicting. if ye are curious what lurks inside of that novella, don’t be afraid to submerge yourself into it..and become part of a world that lies just beyond the norm.
