This works much better then Niko narrating the previous book. Also Catcher, the werwolf who's stuck in wolf form, narrates about every third or fourth chapter.

But this story didn't need too many twists.

It was more forward with not as many twits.

And Cal's girlfriend Delilah tags along.This was well written, the plot was well constructed. He and his cousin join in, b/c the healer is the only one that can take on the gypsy healer turned psycho killer. The seals on his prison are weakening, and he is causing plagues where ever he is taken.Cal, Niko, and Robin, finally make contact with the werwolf healer from the first book. (Yes thats my phrase) In this one, Cal and the group, go on a road trip looking for a gypsy healer, that was caught many many years ago and locked away. This one flowed nicely, and was not-put-downable. Not b/c of the plot but the way it was written, or the prose used. The previous books in the series were good, but difficult reads. Rob Thurman finally wrote a book that is fun, enjoyable and easy to read. And as if that's not enough mayhem, Cal's gating makes him bond with his inner Auphe in a scary, scary way.Once more, a 5-star book.I can't wait to read "Blackout". Will she do it? Seems like the only question is "when". The Kin discovered the truth about Cal and her, and demand that she kill Cal to save her honor. Delilah joins the gang on her bike, but this time it looks as though she's got something extra to give Cal, and we ain't talking hot sex.more like a knife or a deadly case of claws. Raff also hopes to cure his cousin Catcher, before Catcher loses his human half completely. Rafferty is the only one able to possibly stop Suyolak from unleashing a Black-Death remake, Ebola, killer flu and you-name-it-as-long-as-it's-gross-and-lethal upon the unsuspecting population. In "Roadkill", Cal, Niko and Goodfellow hit the road to go after the "Plague of the World", a gypsy anti-healer named Suyolak. And Catcher is Rafferty's cousin who's permanently stuck in wolf form. Catcher who?Remember Rafferty, a werewolf healer that saved Cal's life in "Nightlife"? Yup. In this fine offering, book #5 in the Cal Leandros series, author Rob Thurman once more experiments with a first-person POV - this time, it's Cal and Catcher.
