More fun with my favorite apprentice wizard cop, this time out in Herefordshire on the border of Wales instead of in London, investigating the disappearance of two preteen girls. We get to meet a retired wizard cop and his weirdo granddaughter, and we have more – much, much more! – of Beverly, and w...
Series: Peter Grant/Rivers of London #5 Peter Grant travels to the country to help in the search for two missing girls. It was fun watching Peter completely out of his element, and the greater role that Beverly played in this way was a nice treat. Especially at the end. I read this for the "Magi...
Und los geht es... Worum geht es? Tja, theoretisch ist eine Inhaltsangabe des Buches schon eine Zusammenfassung seines Inhaltes und könnte als Spoiler gelten... Peter Grant macht sich, weil ihm anscheinend total langweilig ist und es in London selbst keine Dämonen oder Geister oder dergleichen gi...
I've fallen in love with the "Rivers of London" series. I look forward to each new book because I know I will slide into a world of PC Peter Grant and feel happier for being in his company: a mixed-race police constable in the Met, he approaches the world with an insatiable curiosity, a passion fo...
I will try to make it short, do I ever manage to make it truly short? Nah, a few sentences and then done, haha, wishful thinking. Ok on to my review.I expected more, but then that is my problem, I always expect more. This was another sort of UF, a more quiet one (yes in my weird opinion), it was jus...
A unique book showcasing multicultural London as the main character featuring much of her history, geography, associated Britishisms, pop. culture references and slang. I'm surprised non-Brits (or even non-Londoners) didn't give this a lower rating for all that they didn't understand because I'm a B...
So have you ever watched BBCA's version of Law & Order? Or maybe caught an episode or two of CSI? Well smoosh those two together. Now add a heaping, helping of Harry Potter (minus Ron & Hermione and if Harry had grown up to become a police constable with a wry sense of humor). Got all that? Wel...
I don't normally read urban fantasy, but this combination of a police procedural and a little light-hearted magic was irresistible. It's funny, the protagonist is very likeable and it's a very pleasant way to spend some Christmas money. But I do find urban fantasy unsettling, and I'm not sure why. I...
My friend told me that if I liked Jim Butcher, I should liked this one. On one hand, as a male protagonist, Peter Grant is pretty likeable. I like the idea of having a wizard apprentice as a male protagonist, rather than a full-time wizard (like Dresden). It gives Peter a chance to develop his talen...
