Jan. 5th, 2006 11:21 pmIncubus Dreams, latest Anita Blake novel by Laurell K. Hamilton (yeah, I'm late getting around to it), page 7, "He didn't want to squeak the mundanes, so...". The word is squick. I'd even bet that was the word in the original copy, but I'll also bet someone (without the right type of clue) applied a spell-checker, and accepted "squeak" as a suggested replacement for "squick". *sigh*
(e.g. LJ's spell checker suggests, "quick, squawk, squeak, sick, suck, ... ")

And, on comparison: hot vampire and lycanthrope sex vs hot elf sex.
If I find any plot, I'll let you know. :)
