Nocturnal Book Reviews

I love, love, love this series! Peter's narrative just keeps getting better and better. He is salty, snarky, gritty and self-deprecating. A London cop at its finest with the procedures and sarcastic banter between all the departments.

This is the dry British wit I love so much, and that's why even if the plot is somewhat one-dimensional in Whispers Under Ground, the quality of the writing doesn't suffer at all.

Most of the plot is concentrating in the Underground tunnels and the sewers of London, but the book is still full of character and gives you interesting tidbits of information about the city.

Nightingale is disappointingly absent most of the time, but Leslie is as ballsy and sarcastic as ever, and she flaunts her disfigured face. A clever, brilliant girl, whom I can't help but admire.

There is an FBI agent who helps and at the same time hinders Peter, but she comes around in the end. There are also new magical creatures, artistic jealousy and unknown magic wielders from foreign lands.

Vague? Yep. But exciting! I'm keeping my mouth shut about the particulars of the plot, because you really need to read the whole series yourself to appreciate this little gem. Highly recommended!
