No spoilers from me, you need to read/savor every word of Rob Thurman's switchblade classic on your own. If you've missed this series, you are doing yourself a grave disservice--which you can correct by buying book one in the series, Nightlife, then by buying the rest.
You won't regret it.
Me, I'm going back to Nightlife (for the 4th time), then reading the rest again--right now. I'm not ready to leave Cal and Niko or their world quite yet. ;)

However, I totally couldn't believe that she would allow the man who murdered her to just drive away in order to have sex with the boy she'd had a crush on while alive. Never even mentioned the fact that she'd just seen her murderer. She could've described his car, etc. The man was a fugitive! he'd been stalking her own sister and would keep killing. But instead of letting Ray know that when she was briefly allowed to possess Ruth's body, she had sex instead.
I couldn't believe that and it pissed me off.
Then the way Susie's murderer died was just lame. No justice. Sure, it might be that way in real life, but if I wanted real life, I'd read the newspaper (which I do. LOL.).

I liked Sheriff Pangborn and Polly, of course, and Norris Ridgewick, but I wasn't truly invested in them. Still, that didn't spoil the story!(less)

The prose is truly beautiful, the writing lyrical and, at times, breathtaking.(less)

She's strong and capable, but full of heart and empathy. She's completely relatable, someone you would want for a friend. Briggs' vampires are truly frightening and her werewolf and fae cultures are detailed and fascinating.

Even though I knew who the killer was by page 100 (and predicted most of the twists--probably because my mind skews the same way as the author's), I still enjoyed this. An entertaining read with interesting characters,I plan to continue with the series.(less)

I enjoyed the mystery, even if the characters haven't really grabbed me. I liked it enough, however, that I'm willing to go back and start with book 1.(less)
I didn't much care for the writing style at first, but after the first 60 pages or so, I was hooked. The story made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
