I'm really enjoying watching this series mature and fans will really enjoy this instalment. It provides all the angst, conflicted fraternal co-dependence and thoroughly unlikeable and intrusive female characters we have come to expect from the series.Cal spends most of this book trying to work out w...
Lots of psychology, identity and what if Cal had never been Auphe? What and who might he have been without the taint of darkness and death in his very DNA? A pretty decent guy, it would seem. Still snarky and a fan of sleep, but a bit of a hero rather than being the thing that he should be protectin...
This book started out well, but then became pretty boring.Cal wakes up on a beach in North Carolina with no memory of who he is or what he was doing there. One would think the reader would be anxious to get him back with our beloved characters as soon as possible, but, unfortunately, that's when thi...
I really enjoyed this book. It was really nice to see a Cal who was still badass and not constantly full of self loathing. It couldn't last, of course. I knew it couldn't last as soon as it happened.

He gets a free hair cut, he works as a waiter ... then two guys, one claiming to be his brother comes to take him ...
Of all the books in the series Blackout is the one that is going to tear your heart out of your chest and then put it back and teach it how to beat again... Cal has been an anti-hero since day one and in this story we get to see the Cal that "never was and never will be again" as at the beginning of...
Loved, loved, loved. Thurman has done a lovely twist on the old amnesia device, successfully re-inventing Cal and writing a riveting book. While technically it could be a stand-alone book, it's genius is in the setting of the series and character development.The sarcasm is much less dark and self-f...
