Nightlife

By: Rob Thurman

Narrated by: Patrick Lawlor

In New York, there's a troll under the Brooklyn Bridge, a boggle in Central Park, and a beautiful vampire in a penthouse on the Upper East Side. Of course, most humans are oblivious to this, but Cal Leandros is only half-human. His father's dark lineage is the stuff of nightmares-and he and his entire otherworldly race are after Cal.

He and his half-brother Niko have managed to stay a step ahead for three years, but now Cal's dad has found them again. And Cal is about to learn why they want him, why they've always wanted him...for he is

Amazing!

I was introduced to the series by my younger sister who was right when she said I would love it. I was thrilled to see it on audio and although it was bittersweet as my sister has since lost her battle with breast cancer, I decided I would listen to it in her honor! I am so glad I did. Patrick Lawlor did a fabulous job with the embattled brothers. I can only hope that we see more! Not only do you get the love of two brothers but a battle between the good and bad, made more difficult when one of the brothers teeters on both sides! You won't regret listening!

Are we there yet?

I did struggle through this one. The plot was a little predictable and the main character barely had any chance to develop from his whining self pity before the story is hijacked by someone even less likable. This also another case of the fist personnperspective completly ruining any chance of developing side characters that are more interesting than the limiting main character. Also, the narrator's voice was like listening to a chain smoker tell his life story. If that is your tabacco-laced cup of tea, go ahead. As for me, I don't think I will be listening to any more of these. Maybe in print, but not voiced by this guy.

Great story, bad performance

I have read & listened to all the books in this series, one of my favorites. The narrator for Nightlife is not good at all but all the rest of the books have an excellent narrator. The series is really good so either get through Nightlife quickly (or even better read it) then enjoy the rest of the series

Great read

I loved the book but I do believe it would be better with a bit less cursing G-D is one of those that's just to crass but the story itself is great

Wasn't sure at first but it hooked me

Honestly when the book first started I wasn't sure if I would continue.

I was on my third book, for some reason the first two I started (unrelated to this one) just did not hold my attention. I started to feel the same way with this but stuck with it. I'm glad I did.

Written, in some ways, like an old school detective movie and flowed kind of like an old Magnum PI episode but in a way that was entertaining and kept me hooked.

Just downloaded the next two books in the series and hoping the trend continues.
