From Little Stack
Nightlife, the first book in the Cal Leandros series, came out hot on the heels of Supernatural and hits many of the same beats the TV show does, though it’s in no way a rip-off. In fact, Thurman had worked on Cal Leandros long-before the Winchesters emerged on our TV screens.
While Nightlife ties matters mostly to New York and contains a little more of an urban fantasy flavor, it still delivers on the horror while pushing inter-family problems to the forefront.
There are daddy issues, dark secrets, dollops of snark and bad-tempered protagonists a plenty. With ten books (plus spin-offs) already released, there are plenty of stories ahead if you choose to dive in.
There are monsters among us. There always have been and there always will be. I've known that ever since I can remember, just like I've always known I was one……Well, half of one, anyway.
Welcome to the Big Apple. There's a troll under the Brooklyn Bridge, a boggle in Central Park, and a beautiful vampire in a penthouse on the Upper East Side—and that's only the beginning. Of course, most humans are oblivious to the preternatural nightlife around them, but Cal Leandros is only half-human.
His father's dark lineage is the stuff of nightmares—and he and his entire otherworldly race are after Cal. Why? Cal hasn't exactly wanted to stick around long enough to find out.
He and his half-brother Niko have managed to stay a step ahead for three years, but now Cal's dad has found them again. And Cal is about to learn why they want him, why they've always wanted him…for he is the key to unleashing their hell on earth. The fate of the human world will be decided in the fight of Cal's life…
