Summary: Good, a sequel to the Nightshade.
Comment: Thank goodness, Mr. Green made a sequel for John Taylor. Taylor is a supernatural detective that can find things with his third or *private eye* as he calls it. Half hilarious half frightening but alway entertaining, this book brings back my favorite characters, Taylor, Suzie, the bar guy, and Razor Eddie plus a host of other memorable characters I am hoping to see in the next installment sometime soon.(Please Mr. Green?) Anyway, this is part two of John Taylors Detective stories and I still want to know who is mama is. MMmmm well, lets hope there is another book to tell me.

Summary: Taylor. John Taylor. ;D (spoiler alert!)
Comment: *rubs hands together in glee* ok, let's get down to business, shall we? i didn't think green could top 'Something From The Nightside,' but i was wrong. Agents Of Light And Darkness is an edgy mix of noir and fantasy that's so engaging that when you get to the final sentence you want to yell, "no! more, more!" the character suzy shooter is fleshed out in appealingly gritty and straightforward style in the midst of a war between...well, the agents of light and darkness, duh. we watch as taylor's reputation preceeds (and exceeds) him, get treated to some of the less tangible aspects of his powers, and meet some of the Nightside's usual suspects, such as Merlin Satanspawn and Jessica Sorrow the Unbeliever, as John quests for the Holy Grail, finally finding it in the Collector's collection on the moon, guarded by feline fembots (of course! how obvious! why didn't he think of that before?). but the show's not over till the fat lady sings-taylor still has to figure out who, exactly, he should hand the unholy grail over to...when the angels from Above and Below haven't exactly impressed him with their brilliance. and then there's the client, 'jude,' to consider, because the client is always right...and you might be surprised to know, it was his to begin with. to top it off, suzy shooter meets her match-the speaking gun-and we are given yet another tantalizing hint about taylor's mother, the only person he knows who must be scarier than he is. buy it, read it, share it with your friends and family and strangers you meet on the street...well, don't go that far. Then while you're waiting for the next adventure, try P.N. Elrod's The Vampire Files.

Summary: Short, but worth it
Comment: This is not a "Robert Jordan", 5,000 pg fantasy - but for once i find myself wishing that this book had that length. Instead, the readers are treated to a short, no-nonsense romp in the macabre, thrilling world of the Nightside, where not all cars are really cars - some are just pretending, and they're usually hungry. . .
Anyway, John Taylor accepts a commision to hunt down the Unholy Grail, and is barred from using his special gift because those who want him to work for them can track him when he does. Confused? Hope not - Anyway, with Shotgun Suzie's help he evades angels, gains and looses the Speaking Gun, and meanders his way through interesting aspects of the Nightside toward his goal.
There is a lot mentioned in this book, and the previous one, that leave the reader wishing (ardently) for more Nightside stories, or even a little more explanation about the true nature of John's mother. in that, green treats the audience like he does his charachters, doling out info on a "need to know" basis. Obviously, we don't need to know - thus, we are left begging for more. Anyone happen to know anything about a sequel?
Oh - be prepared for description and action that borders on the gory and is definitely in the realm of "beyond the pale", though swearing is kept to a minimum and the hint (bare, as in almost not-there) of romance spice it up. but the somewhat (as in, there ARE worse out there) graphic descriptions may be surprising. All in all, a wonderful read, but i'd have to say it's also PG-13.
