After more than a year away from reading Nightlife, I thought my love for this series would be a fluke. I'd read the second book, and the thrill would be gone. Not even close.

I'd read the second book, and the thrill would be gone. Not even close. What a fantastic world Ms. Thurman has created. I don't know how she managed to bring two characters to life that I love so much.

Cal has really come into his own. 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 have found that he is starting to sneak up in my affections, although Niko has claimed my heart.

Ah, Niko, would you marry me? I just love this man. Too bad he's not real. He of the razor sharp sword that he wields with deadly precision. His exquisitely neat housekeeping skills. He cooks beautifully. His discipline and calm. The fact that he is more deadly than the Ebola virus. And then there's his love for his younger brother. Who could ask for anything more?

Just reading about these two guys doing, well nothing, is enough for me. But, thankfully, Ms. Thurman has created a whole new adventure for these fellows. It's a roller-coaster ride from the very beginning. 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. I lost count of the number of times that either Cal or Niko got injured and needed medical attention. Be assured that their adversaries fared worse.

I like what Ms. Thurman did with the werewolf lore, although her weres come off looking not-so-glamorous. 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. This book veers into horrific and dark fantasy territory, which is another thing I like about it. 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.

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

Robin Goodfellow, boon companion to the brothers, returns. He keeps things light when necessary, yet kicks butt like it's going out of style. He has connections like you wouldn't believe, aiding in getting very difficult things accomplished, fights at the brothers' side, while flirting with Niko (who he has the hots for, who can blame him?). It's impossible not to love him, morally flexible, pansexual flirt that he is.

Just like Nightlife, this lovely noirish urban fantasy story about Cal and Niko Leandros has established a place in my heart and on my keeper shelf. It makes me want to dive right into the next book in the series, Madhouse, to spend more time with these guys, who I love dearly. You probably noticed that. ...more

I'm learning to get past my squeamishness over certain subject matter.
I’m really starting to like Cal. He's a mess, battling his heritage and the monster-of-the-week. He can be somewhat frightening at times, when he isn't campaigning for Smartass of the Year; but underneath he knows what's right and his bond with his brother, Niko, carries the day. At times he's even a little endearing. Something that's really interesting about Cal--an idea I don't think I've ever seen anywhere else: he is so afraid of his Auphe DNA, so determined to be the only and last Auphe-human hybrid, that he won't even date. He's convinced that no amount of protection could stop Auphe DNA, so he doesn't want to tempt fate. (While that could change as the series goes on, I hope Thurman doesn't go the baby route.)
Niko came across as more of a character this time. His relationship with his brother is very touching. They would literally go through hell for each other.
Robin Goodfellow--AKA Rob Fellows, the puck--is still my favourite character of the series. He's egotistical, he's try-sexual (would try almost anything at least once with anyone/thing good-looking enough), and he's also hilariously funny, a loyal friend, and an impressive fighter. (One of my favourite lines of his this time around: "Damn it, would you change your antifreeze and have an emotion already?") The sequence involving Robin and some Gypsies was priceless. He also carries an ancient loneliness, maybe even an iota of regret, that makes him a little more complicated.
Thurman makes her vampires and werewolves a little different from many authors'. Both are born, not made. Good vampires can get by with taking supplements and shielding themselves from the sun, while werewolves vary in degrees of wolfishness. I still don't quite see Niko and Promise as the perfect couple, the way Cal does. I always have trouble wrapping my head around the idea of a relationship between a centuries-old vampire and a twenty-something mortal. But, at least this time around, Promise had more things to do and did them well. Flay the werewolf was an interesting, and sometimes funny, foil for Cal and Robin.
The plot had some nifty twists, and I liked the resolution of the central problem. I'm looking forward to reading the third book, hoping Thurman keeps developing the characters in interesting ways. ...more

I'm finally starting to feel better today, but I have to catch up on homework so this review won't be much either. I liked it as much as the first, even though there were parts where it seemed to lag a bit. The brothers more than made up for it though. I need more Niko however.

With the help from their friend, Robin Goodfellows, the female vampire Promise, as well as a werewolf called Flay, Cal and Niko must fight one of the most powerful enemies, which plans to use George for his sinister plan.

I'm really loving this series. In book one, I'm impressed with Cal and his touch of sarcasm that was just non-stop as well as Cal's relationship with his brother, Niko (Supernatural, hello!). However, in book two, I'm continuously entertained with the action and the adrenaline push it gives me. While it might starts a bit slow, this book picks up with actions and new plot and knowledge about the world that Cal and Niko must face, and it doesn't stop until the last pages. I was holding my breathe during the last chapters, when Niko was kidnapped, and Cal (now with a new power to open/close the door to Tumulus) was ready to bring Hell (literally) to save him and George.

Of course, Cal and Niko's relationship is still one of the best thing about this story. In fact, words like ... "Without Nik, I was nothing. Living life to prove your genes wrong wasn't worth doing. Living life to be the reflection of who your brother thought you were, thought you could be, that was worth it just grab my heart and make me want to hug the brothers. Their loyalty, their faith, their love, to one another, is the foundation of this series, and I don't want to see it reduced.

Cal is still one sarcasm machine. His snarkiness is non-stop. Some might find it off-putting. But hey, he's 20 years old, he is half monster and he knows what kind of Hell he can be or danger that lurks around the corner for him and his brother ... it's like defense mechanism, you see. He's like Holden Caulfield :). I find it endearing. I'm also still very much amused to the unrequited crush of Robin towards Niko (so cute!). I'm not sure about Promise or George. They are still two dimensional for me. I still hope to see a better female characters here. I'm not feeling either females for the brothers (especially George, she's just feel off!)

One criticism: in book one, Cal is said to be three years younger than Niko (it started to be five years) but here, he is two years younger (and started to be four years old)? Hmmm ...

Second installment of Cal and Nik Leandros' series.

After successfully negating the threat of Cal's other family (the evil, death mongering elves known as The Auphe) and killing the entity that possessed Cal in the previous book, the brothers decide to remain in NY. To their surprise, after having been on the run and having only each other for so many years, they have created bonds.

First there is Promise, the lovely vampire who has awakened romantic feelings in the normally impassive Nik.

After successfully negating the threat of Cal's other family (the evil, death mongering elves known as The Auphe) and killing the entity that possessed Cal in the previous book, the brothers decide to remain in NY. To their surprise, after having been on the run and having only each other for so many years, they have created bonds.

First there is Promise, the lovely vampire who has awakened romantic feelings in the normally impassive Nik.

Then there is George, the lovely young psychic who raising feelings on longing in Cal.

And finally there is Rob, a.k.a Robin Goodfellow. The long lived Puck of fantasy lore who himself has been longing for friends and companions.

So the brothers have begun a business of sorts with Promise as security/bodyguards for the Fae. But their first real client entangles them with the werewolves who later kidnap George to force the brothers to find a mysterious fae relic.

Cal and Nik along with Promise and Rob set out to find the relic and free George.

Ok. This second installment is just as good as the first. The author does a great job of revealing more about the brothers and their background. But she also allows them to grow. I really enjoyed the fact that she allowed the two isolated souls to grow their little inner circle. Promise, who was a minor -- if intriguing -- walk on character in the last book was a revelation. I really enjoy her with Nik (my fictional boyfriend) and most importantly I enjoy her with Nik and Cal. She doesn't interfere with --- what to me is --- the central and best relationship in the series, and, even better, she understands and navigates it so well.

This installment was just as dark and biting with the same wit as the previous book. And most importantly, the relationship between the two brothers is just as deep and strong. I especially like that Cal is growing into his own a bit. I was also gratified to see that he was starting to use some of his Auphe self. Yes, I know he hates and rejects it intensely, but I am of the mind that if he intends to really defeat them that he needs to fight fire with fire so to speak. I actually hope that Thurman's plan is to allow Cal's Auphe abilities to grown and expand so that the field evens a bit for him.

I just love this series.

I highly recommend! ...more

So it is gut-wrenching for Cal when she is kidnapped and he - along with his team of Nik, Promise, and Robin - must rescue her.

I continue to love Niko and Goodfellow.

I'm very glad the focus is still on the relationship between Niko and Caliban. I'm not crazy about Promise or George being elevated to the same status.
