Can't recall many details, just boring. It's almost a bearable story, with bearable characters. But nothing interesting happens.

Not bad for a first novel (I think it is one?), but I'm not really interested in re-reading it. It is an interesting concept, and a different take on several concepts than most of what I've read in the urban fantasy genre. I'll probably give Thurman a second or third chance.
yeah . a 5 star book. i have read few this year. a great twist on the fae. shiver. a gr8 botherly lovew and funny bromance
^^
gr8 start of a series
Niko and Cal Leandros, brothers on the run, actually it's always Niko who's running for the sake of Cal, well the book might not be one of the best, I've read so far, what with Cal's wisecracking and all these watching over your shoulder stuff.....anyway the good??? Ummmmmm hard to say, at least it left a dent on the couch/bed i was sitting/lying/whatever.....constant reminiscing about their past.....the bad???? Constant reminiscing, hey I think I'm starting to think like Cal.......monster/human......oh well here's to you other folks.....good luck in reading this one!!!!
Now where is Niko??? Oh sorry, I don't have a brother named Niko, I'm not even an american!!!![no disrespect to all you guys!!!]
