soaparoo's review against another edition
2.0
2 and a half. I love the idea of a paranormal detective in modern day London but surprisingly, I didn't enjoy the three books as much as I thought I would. Perhaps it was the constant rehashing of concepts that bored me or the annoyance at the fact that Lesley's experience wasn't explored further after the Puppet incident. I was taken aback at all that lingering on the female form to the point where I had to ask my mates if they really focused so intensely on the hips of every woman they met.
It was wonderful to meet characters from a divese set of backgrounds though. Is it weird to say that this would be great as a Netflix series?

I couldn't stop myself from comparing it with Kate Griffin's Midnight Mayor and - while faster paced and more amusing - this book suffered from the comparison.
It's still really fun and under 300 pages per novel, so I'll be reading it, though!

It is safe to say this is one of the most addictive series I have ever picked up.
I was more than a little bit tentative at first. I’m never really sure what to expect when the supernatural and crime are mixed together. Things can so easily go so very wrong. Yet not here! Here everything is as wonderful as you could ever imagine.
One of the quote about this series is to imagine what would happen if Harry Potter grew up and joined the Met… Well, I say Harry Potter could never be this cool (I’m sorry to all the Potterheads I have offended, but I’m serious, the books are so awesome).
The stories was completely unpredictable yet wonderfully connected, filled with countless amusing moment that had me laughing out loud more often than I probably should have been. With wonderful characters, great magical world building, and everything you could want from a crime book, the Peter Grant series gives you everything you could ask for in an urban fantasy series and then some.
If you’re a fan of the genre, I recommend giving these books a go!
