But his fear about what his auphe side would bring to life is causing him to keep her at a distance. Who can blame her? Cal's love life would be looking good if he would let the fair Georgina into his heart. It's pretty obvious how much this tenderhearted, elegant, but deadly when it's necessary vampiress cares for him. Niko's relationship with Promise, he and Cal's vampire co-partner in their detective business, has blossomed beautifully.

Who knew the modern world could be such a scary place full of beasties that made the fairy tales just that little bit macabre, that you didn't think were real? Well they are, at least in this series. This book veers into horrific and dark fantasy territory, which is another thing I like about it. And there are plenty of other mythical creatures in this story, adding to the pizazz and overall character of the New York and sundry that Cal and Niko live and fight to stay alive in. Thurman did with the werewolf lore, although her weres come off looking not-so-glamorous. Be assured that their adversaries fared worse. I lost count of the number of times that either Cal or Niko got injured and needed medical attention. There are moments where the pace slows down for a little bit, to allow the reader to catch her/his breath, but then it's off again. It's a roller-coaster ride from the very beginning. Thurman has created a whole new adventure for these fellows. Just reading about these two guys doing, well nothing, is enough for me. And then there's his love for his younger brother. The fact that he is more deadly than the Ebola virus. His exquisitely neat housekeeping skills. He of the razor sharp sword that he wields with deadly precision. I have found that he is starting to sneak up in my affections, although Niko has claimed my heart.Īh, Niko, would you marry me? I just love this man. He's still a major smart-aleck, with some self-hate issues, but he's even more lethal as a warrior, incredibly strong-minded, and fiendishly clever, although so self-deprecating you would think he was useless. I don't know how she managed to bring two characters to life that I love so much.Ĭal has really come into his own. I'd read the second book, and the thrill would be gone. After more than a year away from reading Nightlife, I thought my love for this series would be a fluke.
