Once you check into the Night Hotel, you might never check out . . . A supernatural thriller of otherworldly action and adventure. A stranger on earth and a refugee from a twisted Sideways world, Damon slowly builds a life in Brooklyn with his only friends, Thom and Sarah. Learning how to live as a human does not come easy to the being from the Sideways. Memories of the Night Hotel where he grew up--and his guardians, Aunt and Uncle--still haunt him. Despite his bitter childhood, Damon is determined to forget and become worthy of Sarah's love and Thom's friendship. When his new life is threatened by an Inquisition of human wizards who are convinced Damon is the same Mad God once responsible for the Dark Ages, he is forced to use the sorcery of the Sideways to protect it and his friends. But each time he uses the addictive magic of his home, he loses a little more of his hard-won humanity. And he must figure out a way to save them all before he turns into the monster the wizards believe him to be . . . Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Mad Dog Walking does not break much new ground (Is there really any new ground to break in Urban Fantasy?) but it is better written than most of the recent UF offerings. A nonhuman or perhaps posthuman hero wields strong magical powers in a kind of twisted Harry Potter world where wizards of various sorts already operate. This hierarchy of wizardry disdains technomancy and blocks technomancers from advanced magical studies at the magical science universities. Order is enforced by a sinister magical police force. We have love and sex and a strong, believable female wizard and her technomancer brother who love our Mad God.
World building is top notch and believable. Characters are believable. The obligatory smash bang boom coruscating fire power blowout at the end is a little confusing, but I think this series has legs. Get another cover artist though.
