Once, while half-human Cal Leandros and his brother Niko were working on a case, an ancient gypsy queen gave them a good old-fashioned backstabbing. They barely made it out alive. Now, as their P.I. business teeters on insolvency, guess who shows up with a job? The gypsy crone wants them to...

Once, while half-human Cal Leandros and his brother Niko were working on a case, an ancient gypsy queen gave them a good old-fashioned backstabbing. They barely made it out alive. Now, as their P.I. business teeters on insolvency, guess who shows up with a job?
The gypsy crone wants them to find a stolen coffin. Cal would rather help her into one, but this coffin contains an evil known as the Plague of the World–and it makes the Black Death seem like a fond memory.
But the thief has already left town, so the Leandros brothers are going on the road.

This one was a little too introspective and talky compared to previous books in the series and less action, sometimes taking up only a couple of paragraphs. The plot was fine if a little predictable. The final battle wasn't one of her best, not enough characters almost dying, but it was good. :)But ...
Ugh. Crude. Vulgar. Death. Depressing. Pretty skippable on the whole. Seriously, skim this if you bother reading it. Only a few relevant passages. The usual warning in this series for language and sexual content apply. You have been warned!
While I always love roadtrip in a story, somehow this one doesn't really work. Maybe because the writing has divided the point of view into Cal's and Catcher's ... and as much as I like that wolf cousin of Rafferty's, he's never part of the "main" crowd. He's not Robin, he's not even Delilah (who ap...
Like the previous book this one doesn't focus on Cal's POV; it's shared with Catcher - the cousin of Rafferty stuck in wolf form. Haven't heard that name in a while, huh? He was the healer that helped them out in the first book and then disappeared until this one. This time the POV of switch ups are...
