Read Series: Cal Leandros
by Author Rob Thurman
Madhouse (2008)
Half-human Cal Leandros and his brother, Niko, aren't exactly prospering with their preternatural detective agency. Who could have guessed that business could dry up in New York City, where vampires, trolls, and other creepy crawlies are all over the place? But now there's a new arrival in the Bi...
Nightlife (2006)
There are monsters among us. There always have been and there always will be. I’ve known that since I can remember, just like I’ve always known I was one ... Well, half of one, anyway. Welcome to New York City - a troll under the Brooklyn Bridge, a boggle in Central Park, and a beautiful vampire...
Moonshine (2007)
After saving the world from his fiendish father's side of the family, Cal Leandros and his stalwart half-brother Niko have settled down with new digs and a new gig-bodyguard and detective work. And in New York City, where preternatural beings stalk the streets just like normal folk, business is g...
Slashback (2013)
I haven't reviewed these individually, but figured I'd put a quick word in. As usual with the Urban Fantasy series I've read, the first book or two are good but not great (new writer, so allow them to grow!), and start getting better after that. For the Cal Leandros books, the stories are inter...
Deathwish. by Rob Thurman (2012)
I cried, I literally cried, and more than once.Compared to 'Madhouse', it's a completely different book in quality, coherence and climax. Where all these points made me consider 'Madhouse' to be the one I liked least of the series, it makes 'Deathwish' the best.The story worked and delivered in m...
Deathwish (Cal Leandros, #4) (2009)
OK, wow, this was probably the strongest instalment in the Cal Leandros series for me. Partly, I think, because of the clear character development we've seen on Cal's part since Book #1, and partly because FINALLY, we get inside Niko's head as well. Therein, we discover that while our super-hono...
Přání smrti (2011)
This was my favorite book of the series. Finally, finally there is some closure for the brothers. This book is unique in the fact that you read it from not only Cal's perspective, but also Niko's.The book is completely filled with action and I was more then happy with how the storylines played ...
Doubletake (2012)
I didn't like this as much as the previous book. Although that just means it was merely good rather than very good.This time around I found Cal's internal voice to be a little tiresome and definitely repetitive. Also, while the previous book had me in tears at the pivotal moment, this one had m...
Mršina (2011)
Every Cal Leandros book has sucked me in but to spit me out at the end, a little more spent each time. This one was no different. Grabbing on right from the beginning I have found the recent style of writing Thurman has taken up, of specifying each chapter to a particular person's point of view, ...
Deathwish (2009)
Well another book down in this series and I must admit every time I pick one up I question doing so since Cal Leandros is such a whiney Character hes hard to stand at times. However I was mildly surprised to say the least that Cal appeared to be less whiney in this book by quite a large margin, a...
