A review by mary_soon_lee
Moonshine by Rob Thurman
3.0
This is the second book in the Cal Leandros horror/urban-fantasy series. I liked it quite a bit more than the first book (which had a stretch of over a hundred pages that I didn't enjoy). I'm not a horror fan, but I am a fan of characters who care about each other and work together -- the opposite of narratives with a lone hero battling adversity. And this series has a central brother-brother relationship that greatly appeals to me, as well as a growing number of secondary friendships. Next up, I plan to read the second book in another urban fantasy series (Ben Aaronvitch's Rivers of London) to see how it compares. But I'll be back to read the third installment of Cal Leandros's adventures before very long.
About my reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying. The reviews are not scholarly, but just indicate my reaction as a reader, reading being my addiction. I am miserly with 5-star reviews; 4 stars means I liked a book very much; 3 stars means I liked it; 2 stars means I didn't like it (though often the 2-star books are very popular with other readers and/or are by authors whose other work I've loved).
