The best books you never read
The best books you never read rated it 10 years ago
In this installment Connor is yet again drawn into the investigation. There is a body, drained of essence and he needs to find out just who is doing it. Like the other books in this series we see a lot of the internal conflict of a druid who has lost his power. The feel is still noir at its best a...

I have read all of Mark Del Franco’s adult urban fantasy stories and was quite sad that his publisher decided not to continue with the series. So the last book of his I read would be back in 2012 and I kept hoping that he would write another book; even through a self-publishing route. So when I foun...

This was the final book with Connor Grey, and I thought it was a very satisfying ending to the series. There were a few twisty-ish surprises and a few resolutions I was unsettled about but after thinking about it they do make sense. I don't want to go into too much detail for fear of spoilers, but...

Well, this series is picking up steam for me. It started clicking in #2, and this one, the 3rd in the series, keeps going strong. This one deals more with the Convergence, a cataclysmic event that brought the fey into the human world, with no foreseeable way to get back. No spoilers intended, but...

This is the 2nd book in the Connor Grey series, and while I enjoyed the first book it didn’t resonate with me as Butcher’s Dresden Files, or Seanan McGuire’s October Daye & InCryptid series do. Well, I’m starting to feel the pull of this series too. This second book expands on the characters and ...

My absolute favorite series right now is the Dresden Files, and I tend to compare any other urban fantasy type series to that. I was pleasantly surprised by this. I took me a while to get into it - I kept putting it aside to read something else, but around the 40% mark it hit me (yeah - I can be s...

This is a book that seemed to be trying too hard and simultaneously not trying hard enough, as the first half was slow and the second half was hella fast. Refreshing your memory of Celtic mythology before you read it wouldn't be amiss.

2.5 stars. Ok urban fantasy in which Connor once again inadvertently rains death and destruction down upon the fey portion of Boston. Some things bothered me, like the spear reappearing as a spear, but nothing being mentioned about Connor's silver "tattoo" vanishing from his arm at the same time, et...
