Niko Leandros is loyal to and protective of his brother Cal, despite the fact that Cal is half monster. Ever since Cal was abducted by his father's side of the family, he and Niko have been on the run, working odd jobs and living in one seedy apartment after another. Just as Cal starts to enjoy life in New York City, the monster sightings begin, and Cal and Niko prepare to go on the run again. Unfortunately, Niko's car won't start, forcing them to confront monsters that live in mud, a stinky troll that lives under the Brooklyn bridge, and the scary side of Cal.
Nightlife is an impressive debut by Rob Thurman. The dialogue is sometimes cheesy as though the female Thurman is trying to hard to sound like a restless young man, but the story and characters are engaging. Thurman's take on monsters such as trolls and banshees is original and will spark your imagination. This is a series that I will definitely continue to follow.
