Deathwish is the 4th book in the urban fantasy Cal & Niko series. I haven’t reviewed books 1 through 3, but will touch on what I thought of them in this review. First of all, the supernatural/otherworldly entities in this world are mostly bizzare, bloodthirsty, and outrageously gross. According t...
I keep wanting to be able to five star a Cal Leandros book. And every one fails to deliver that special whatever that takes a book from good to great.

It's still them against the world, always, but Cal seems willing to try and make room for Promise and is mature enough to know that where Promise is concerned some decisions really have to be Niko...
For any fan of this genre who is looking for something a bit different, give this series a shot.Cal and Niko Leandros are not your usual "heroes", that being said these 2 brothers are worth following in the books written by Rob Thurman and the next installment due out March 2010 is being anxiously a...
