Peter Grant was on track to becoming a paper-pushing policeman when he stumbled upon magic. Now he's apprenticed to the last magician left on the London police force, and he's got more excitement than he can handle. He dealt with a marauding spirit and the gods of the Thames in [b:Midnight Riot|868...
I loved the first book in this series, Midnight Riot, so I decided to read this one too. Sadly, I didn't like it quite as much as the first. Peter's “voice” was still a lot of fun. I loved all the little snarky details, and I liked the scientific approach he took towards magic. I enjoyed the brief ...
The last line: so so awesome. Makes me want to read book 3 right now.I just wrote this over at The Book Smuggler's discussion of the Peter Grant series, and it pretty much sums up my feelings on the book so:I went through much of Moon Over Soho thinking, “Peter is an idiot.” And he is. He has a LOT ...
I enjoyed this book and I'm hoping there are more in the series. There continues to be an interesting blend of science and magic and I like that the protagonist is trying to figure out how it all works together.

(Threats of booknapping!)So I did,...
I'm enthralled. Really, I don't think there's anything I dislike about the series. I love that Peter Rant teases his boss by calling Nightingale's old boarding school Hogwarts. I love the sense of place and history. I love the tour of jazz music in London during the past century. I love the romance,...
I don't know what it is about the Peter Grant series, but this is only the second installment and already I am completed addicted. I've not been a fan of urban fantasy for very long, but over the years I have come to appreciate the particular brand of "fun and fluffiness" that's so characteristic of...
I had something constructive to say here but then Peter started talking about the rule of law and due process. Favourite social justice-minded apprentice magician baby with zero self-preservation instinct!!
There’s a longer plot in these books. What happened in the end of the first, is picked right up again in the beginning of the second and the characters… well, they stay true to themselves and the changes they’ve had to gone through. Some lessons take longer to learn than the others. Like in Rivers o...
