Mad Lizard Mambo

The Kai Gracen Series, Book 2

De: Rhys Ford

Narrado por: Greg Tremblay

Kai Gracen has no intention of being anyone's pawn. A pity Fate and SoCalGov have a different opinion on the matter.

Licensed Stalkers make their living hunting down monsters and dangerous criminals, and their lives are usually brief, brutal, and thankless. Despite being elfin and cursed with a nearly immortal lifespan, Kai didn't expect to be any different. Then Ryder, the High Lord of the Southern Rise Court, arrived in San Diego, and Kai's not-so-mundane life went from mild mayhem to full-throttle chaos.

Now an official liaison between the growing Sidhe Court and the human populace, Kai is at Ryder's beck and call for anything a High Lord might need a Stalker to do. Unfortunately for Kai, this means chasing down a flimsy rumor about an ancient lost Court somewhere in the Nevada desert - a court with powerful magics that might save Ryder's - and Kai's - people from becoming a bloody memory in their Merged world's violent history.

The race for the elfin people's salvation opens unwelcome windows into Kai's murky past, and it could also slam the door on any future he might have with his own kind and Ryder.

Review for the first and second

I wasn't sure I'd like these books even though I love both Rhys Ford and Greg Tremblay. They sat on my audible for quite awhile. Now I'm mad at myself for not listening sooner.
As always, the combination of Rhys Ford and Greg Tremblay is nothing short of magical. I'm ready for book 3 now.
I will say I sobbed when Shorty was telling Kai about her memory of first meeting Kai. God, that gutted me.
Get this series. You won't regret it.

excellent!

Great urban fantasy. Reminds me of the Dresden Files. I was really happy with it, though if you are looking for romance, this series is very much in the slow burn category. I appreciate that, but not everyone might .

No racy bits, just a solid story

I’m used to having a bit more steam from this author but I think my favorites stories are her science fiction/fantasy ones. Her world building is interesting and the characters are engaging. Greg Tremblay is consistently one of my favorite readers.

exceptional narration of a great story

As I said above. Exceptional narration as usual. Really brings Rhys Ford's books to life. One 9f my favourite characters too.

Not a sophomore sequel

The narrator continues to do a superb job. This may be the second book in a series but it suffers from none of the traditional flaws frequently found in such cases. It's a well crafted novel that deepens our understanding on all levels leaving us hungry for more.
