A review by stephanimichelle
Poison City by Paul Crilley
4.0
London Tau is a detective with the Delphic Division; he investigates supernatural crimes with the help of The Dog, a spirit guide in the form of, well, a dog. Dog is supposed to help London perform magic so that he can catch bad guys and survive, but in reality is only concerned with binge watching TV and downing sherry. Oh and lovingly referring to London as “dipshit”.
London started working for the Delphic Division after his daughter Cally was murdered and his relationship with Cally’s mother ended as a result of the loss.
London gets called to a case where a type of vampire has been murdered, and accidentally stumbles onto a much bigger problem. The war between the Night (supernatural) people and Day (human) people is about to resume. The treaty is over and all hell is about to break loose.
This book is so much fun. It really reminds me of Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse novels (True Blood). It took me a while to figure out what was going on, but once I did I was hooked. There is a lot of information about the world and the characters thrown at you in the first 50 pages, but just let it wash over you. The important stuff is recapped as and when needed.
