The Angels are coming, the angels are coming! Grab hold for a bumpy ride. Angels are not what you thought they were. John Taylor is hired to find something everyone else wants...badly. And I mean badly. We meet some new characters and wander ever deeper into the dark alleys ofthe Nightside.

It's short and fast. This story is a bit better than the first in the series and the phrase "in the Nightside" was only repeated 20-30 times instead of 100-110 times as in the first one.

It's like a child's fantasy book (talking frogs, princesses, evil witches) except it involves gory, gross and rude characters instead. The characters are excessive, over-written and nonsensical, some seemingly put in just to be gory and gross. The story is like an attempt to tell a silly and gross fairy-tale for adults.

While I don't regret reading it I think I'll call it quits on this series. ( )

Pre09: Still an enjoyable romp. Short, very pulp fiction. I would read again. ( )

A good continuation of the series begun with Something From the Nightside. The lead character, John Taylor, continues to be sympathetic and engaging. The supporting characters are also vividly presented. The story is fast-paced. The various creatures and horrors presented in the mystical part of London called The Nightside are composed of an interesting mixture of traditional literary figures and a new gang created by the author. Overall a good, light read, even considering that the book is so dark in theme and humor. ( )

I couldn't get into this book as deeply as I wanted to--it's really not my style--but there are some very memorable, spooky parts! The gun... and the Unbeliever... just to name a couple.

Interesting characters. Interesting place. Interesting plot.

They just weren't combined in the right way to really grab me. ( )
