Downfall

Cal Leandros, Book 9

By: Rob Thurman

Narrated by: MacLeod Andrews

I let it go - all of it. Everything I'd been saving up all my life, building and growing inside me, too much to hold in one half-human body. It pushed and fought to be free with a force that turned me into a bomb with a timer vibrating on zero. I was free. But so was everything I'd fought so hard not to be... Brothers Cal and Niko Leandros know trouble when they see it - and then proceed to wipe the floor with it. But now it seems their whole world is falling to pieces. Cal's nightmarish monster side is growing ever stronger, changing Cal physically as well as mentally. Which is exactly what Grimm - Cal's savage doppelganger - wants. And when a covert supernatural organization decides that it's time to put Cal down before he threatens pretty much everything else in existence, the brothers find themselves in a fight they actually might lose. But the dark temptations Cal has denied all his life may prove to be exactly what can save them. Even if he must fall forever...

Wow just wow

Great story and I didn't predict the ending at all. a great story to read or listen to when running or just relaxing.

Keep 'em coming!

Rob Thurman is the mistress of sarcastic and dark wit. The Cal Leandros series just keeps getting better and better as the characters develop and the back story is revealed. The narrator is en pointe and has me laughing at some of the most unexpected moments. I look forward to the next installment.

Lots of Action and from Robin's POV!

I am so happy that part of this story was told from Robin's POV. Being inside his head is a fun place to be.

Robin 💞 Ishiah

Any additional comments?

I'm glad we get Robin's point of view in this story and I have to admit, Robin definitely liven's up the story. And, oh how I love Ishiah and Robin together. Their relationship is so special, and it was great to get a bit of their past.

I was really over the Auphe once they were defeated the 1st time, so I couldn't see how this story would be any better, but it was!! Grim was so much worst than the Auphe and with the Kin plus the Vigilante, there was no end to the murderous betrayal and action pact entertainment.

Awesome story! I do hope there will be a book 10.

Descriptively Angsty

There's a certain charm to the gutter based witty repose the characters continue to utilize throughout these books, however by now I'm starting to grow weary of the additional internal dialogues describing how hateful someone feels, their internal turmoil at existence, and what constitutes fun. Self reflection is interesting and certainly helps develop the characters, but by now I've got a firm grasp on them and would love a bit less internal thoughts and more external interaction.
