2.5 stars Apart from a lot of language and crass references, it was ok. And I do mean a LOT. I liked the premise, but had a very hard time getting past the mentality and mores of some of these characters.Obviously, the brothers aspect is what interested me,esp. since one of them is part monster. Fai...
"There are a lot of truths in this world. When it rains it pours. It's always darkest before the dawn. He who smelt it dealt it." Kind of a funny quote by Cal/Darkling thingie, right? For me, it just about sums up everything I like (not much) and dislike (lots) about "Nightlife". The former frat boy...
Wow. I was looking for a new urban fantasy series to supplement my Dresden Files addiction and I sure found it. They aren't the same by any means but this series gives me everything I want: intensity, drama, biting humor, creativity, believable characters, villains to hate, heroes to love and worry ...

Cal's father is a Grendel (well that's the name the brothers have given the monsters but I think you'll be surprised when you find out what they really are!) and the Grendels have taken a keen interest in him but the brothers don't ...
Just under 4 stars so rounding up.Yep - I'm late to the party with this one, but that just means I don't have a long wait between books. If you like UF but haven't tried this one yet, I recommend it.I liked the brother dynamic, Niko and Cal make for an entertaining read. The brotherly dynamic was be...
Genre: Urban FantasyThoughts:It has been such a long time that I've read a book and at the end want to obsessively stroke the cover. This was one of those books, it pretty much had me going all Gollum after the last page turned. Considering this was a reread for me, even better.One of the main th...
