Halfhuman 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 Big Apple. A malevolent evil with ancient powers is picking off humans like sheep, deadset on making history with an orgy of blood and murder.

Once, while half-human Cal Leandros and his brother Niko were working on a case, an ancient gypsy queen gave them a good old-fashioned backstabbing. Now, just as their P.I. business hits a slow patch, the old crone shows up with a job. She wants them to find a stolen coffin that contains a blight that makes the Black Death seem like a fond memory. But the thief has already left town, so the Leandros brothers are going on the road. And if they're very, very lucky, there might even be a return trip.

Taking on bloodthirsty supernatural monsters is how Caliban and Niko Leandros make a living. But years ago - before they became a force to be reckoned with - the brothers were almost victims of a very human serial killer. Almost. Unfortunately for them, that particular depraved killer was working as apprentice to a creature far more malevolent - the legendary Spring-heeled Jack.

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.

I've said it before, but sometimes I'm a bad person. I cheated on my 12th grade math final, I've run countless yellow lights, and I gossip about how hot my kickass best friends are. (Good thing my job as a guild bartender doesn't require moral perfection.) But there's bad, and then there's bad. And I'm not sure which applies to a certain dark druid/wanted criminal/reluctant friend of mine. His transgressions include black-magic dealings, kidnapping, and murder, and he's about to add "revenge-fueled killing spree" to his resume - if I don't stop him.

Before the now-infamous Count Dracula ever tasted his first drop of blood, Sorin Ambrogio owned the night. Humanity fearfully called him the Devil. Cursed by the gods, Sorin spent centuries bathing Europe in oceans of blood with his best friends, Lucian and Nero, the world’s first Werewolf and Warlock - an unholy trinity if there ever was one. Until the three monsters grew weary of the carnage, choosing to leave it all behind and visit the brave New World across the ocean. As they befriended a Native American tribe, they quickly forgot that monsters can never escape their past.

Another great one
I loved the perspective change between Niko and Cal it explained a lot about both their personalities. As all ways this book is amazing and action packed. We see the final chapter of the Afea race and man that was cool.

An abundance of drool worthy action!
Any additional comments?
"Deathwish" proves there is no limit to how far and how dangerous the Leandros brothers can be and will go to not only protect each other but destroy anything and anyone who attempts or threatens their life. This story is psychologically so much darker than the previous books and I have to tell you, I soaked up every word Mr. Andrews performed. I swear he is a narrator from the Gods!!! He is that amazing at drawing you into this horrific world Mr. Thurman has created for us.
This story shows, Niko is not the one you want to cross on any level, especially when it comes to Cal. Man is a beast, when it comes to protecting Cal and that's from anyone or anything. And that goes vise versa!
From the Auphe, to Cherish's selfish and dangerous childish antics, to Promise's misguided fears (she pissed me off in this story. I was even mad at George!!!), to all the bastards trying to kill and or torment the Leandros brothers and my sexy Robin, I couldn't catch a breath! And there was one death I just didn't want to happen and I wasn't expecting it, foolish of me but that death broke my heart a bit. Oh, and the ending, that's what had my heart twisted. Thank goodness for book 5!!!!
