I enjoyed reading this one as it featured a main character who wasn’t your typical anti-hero - which we seem to have a lot lately. I’m glad to see Peter was just your average good guy who’s doing his best to be a policeman until he comes across supernatural things in which his whole life changes. P...
In the interest of full disclosure, I've read this series out of order. I read the first comic book story, then #2 in terms of the novels.Midnight Riot introduces us to the character of Peter Grant, who is a copper who can see ghosts but is most likely going to get detailed to data entry. Lucky for ...
Series: Rivers of London #1 This is not only not the first time that I've read this book but it's not the first time I've listened to the audiobook. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith does an excellent job as narrator and Ben Aaronovitch succeeds at writing first-person novel with a distinct voice. Peter himse...
So I picked this book since it was published in 2011 and met the criteria for my BL space. I am glad I finally got around to reading it, since I've been meaning to for more than two months. I liked the main character, Peter Grant. I also enjoyed his teacher/master Nightingale and the weird setup the...
The best part about listening to this was being reminded just how good this novel was -- sure, I remember liking it a lot (if for no other reason than I've read five more plus a collection of comics), but I didn't remember it being this good. Briefly -- in this we're introduced to a probationary c...
"So magic is real," I said. "Which makes you a...what?" "A wizard." "Like Harry Potter?" Nightingale sighed. "No," he said. "Not like Harry Potter." "In what way?" "I'm not a fictional character," said Nightingale. And...sold. Midnight Riot--or Rivers of London, if you're being properl...
Probationary Constable Peter Grant wants to become a murder cop but seems far more likely to become a paper pusher. That all changes after he speaks to a ghostly witness at a crime scene and his abilities and willingness to keep an open mind bring him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Th...
I'd been hearing a lot of good things about this series, including that the later books get better. That's encouraging because I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I didn't know much of anything about this when I began it. I enjoyed the world-building and the fact that I'm being introduced to it thro...
I found this book from a recommendation on Meg Perry's website. The blurb piqued my interest and my local library had the ebook so with nothing to lose I dived in. I rated it 4 stars but in reality it should probably be 3.5 because I absolutely loved this book up to the 75% mark, at which point I ...
So this could be fun. I'm not all that in the know when it comes to genres, but if this is what urban fantasy is all about (tip of the hat to Carol for the intel), then it fits the bill for the sort of zone-out-friendly, but sufficiently compelling adventure read that I need every now and then. “If...
