5.0 out of 5 stars Rollicking Good Fun, 4 Mar 2008
By E. Jager "lilifae" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are tired of leatherclad tattooed female heroines which seem to litter the urban fantasy bookshelves and you would like a change of scrummy things to look at, have a look at Rob Thurman's work. She's created a dark underbelly of New York, populated by supernatural creatures who rub shoulders with normal people...and if only normal people knew what lurked in the dark.

This, the third book in the series (with more to come in the pipeline) is simply unput-down-able. I had to force myself to go slow, to drag out the rapidly approaching end.

The characters, Cal and his brother Niko are vividly portrayed in an interesting setting with new twists on the supernatural genre. They come across as being very real in a way a lot of the urban fantasy heroines aren't - they joke, they hurt, they are sexy, kickass and totally unorthodox and incredibly moody and deadpan. Oh, the one liners - Buffy, this is the way to do it. Reading Rob's work is like like watching a Guilermo del Toro movie - anything can happen. And it does. Twice. With fangs and claws.

The series starts with Nightlife and carries onto Moonshine with Madhouse being the third instalment. The first two books are equally good but I think, with Madhouse, that Rob managed to get a decent hold on the characters and it is the best book thus far in the series and knowing how hard she works to keep us, her fans happy, I'm pretty sure the rest of the series will be even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truimph, 4 Mar 2008
By N. Hughes "Angel" (West Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
'Madhouse' is yet another truimph for author extraordinaire Rob Thurman. Following on from her two other brilliant books 'Moonlight' and 'Nightlife', we are once again drawn into the world of Cal and Niko Leandros, brothers who are submerged in the supernatural. The book like it's predecessors is captivating and exciting. The heroes are not only sexy but are kick ass to boot. The humor will have you chuckling your way through the book. The other characters as well as the main characters are delightful, colourful, scary and truly original. Rob Thurman's writing has you not just going along on the adventure, but she has you truly caring for the characters especially the brothers, who's relationship is endearing as it is funny.
If Supernatural monsters coupled with strong, interesting and unique characters are your thing, then 'Madhouse' (as well as 'Moonlight' and 'Nightlife) are your cup of tea. Heck, even if you aren't into supernatural scares, just the sheer brilliance and wonderful characters and humour in this book will keep you hooked and wanting for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rob Thurman asked, 14 Mar 2008
I don't normally write reviews but the writer asks on her website that all fans write a review so here is mine.

This is the best book in the series. I don't think there is a single point in the book were you can't find something happening, its just one thing after the next. I know the year has only just started but i think this is the best book of the year.
I can't wait till the next one comes out but its a whole year away. If anyone comes up with a time machine and go's forward in time please bring back the next book. Hope everyone enjoys this book as much as I did.
