In the meantime, Cal works for a supernatural security consulting group, and he and Niko, as well as Niko’s vampire girlfriend, Promise and their mutual friend Robin Goodfellow (yes, *that* Robin Goodfellow), must seek out a crown that could confer great power upon those who wear it. In this book, he explores that connection more deeplyand comes to grips with the fact that he needs to rely on other people besides his brother Niko. In the first book, Cal had a bit of an identity crisis, trying to figure out whether he was more monster than human. The Auphe were once the most bad-ass of the evil supernatural creatures, and definitely not the sort of people you want reproducing. Cal, the narrator, is half-human, half-Auphe. I love these books to pieces, and am definitely going to be reading the latest quite soon. I am such a Cal Leandros fangirl that I even put up with things that normally cause me to go into fits of rabid anger, like the fact that there’s not a whole lot of depth to Cal’s romantic interest, and that sometimes a few of the characters skirt the line of Mary Sue-dom. I would gladly have both him and Niko on my desert island o’ book hero goodness.
I feel a little strange writing this, but after two books in this series that I have read so far, I am definitely a Cal Leandros fangirl.
Cal and Niko are being set up themselves-and the people behind it have a bite much worse than their bark.Shannon C.’s review of Moonshine (Cal Leandros, Book 2)by Rob Thurman The place to start is the back room of Moonshine-a gambling club for non-humans. A low-level Kin boss thinks a rival is setting him up for a fall, and wants proof. Their latest case has them going undercover for the Kin-the werewolf Mafia. And in New York City, where preternatural beings stalk the streets just like normal folk, business is good. 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.
