Funny and brilliant

This being the second of the three volumes of the series I can honestly say it gets by. To hear Lucifer being called Uncle Luci really brought a suppressed giggle to me. Loving the characters more and more.

Another excellent installment

I'm still stunned as to how excellent this series is! I originally got the first installment of the series as it was free and I was just looking for something to have on in the background that I wouldn't need to think about as I picked up a new crochet project, but within 20 minutes I was hooked (totally unintentional pun! 😂) and by half way through I had gone and bought the other two in the series.

Again, the stories are fast paced, exciting and really hold your attention. They're also really original and I've now found each new episode builds well onto the previous ones - stories or characters mentioned a few episodes before will pop up as part of a future story or just be spoken about in the passing, adding another layer of richness to the story in general. The world building also is second to none - bringing real life folk tales and weaving them into modern day New York really just kind of works.

The character interactions and relationships are also well written, especially leery and dru, and I'm loving the way their relationship is deepening and they're getting closer - I'm a sucker for a romance so I have my fingers crossed for them!

The narration is, again, fantastic, with different voices and accents used for each character - there might be the same accent used for a few different side characters, but not usually within the same story and definitely not within the same scene, so it's not confusing and to be fair, there's only so many voices a person can do so you have to forgive the narrator this. Hes made it onto my list of favourite narrators, that's for sure.

I know the series is meant to be tongue in cheek and maybe a bit jokey - from reading the authors website I know he come up with idea when he was on strong pain killers and that kind of makes sense, but it's just a really great series! Again, I will say, if you're looking for a serious and gritty crime series this likely will not be for you, but if you're looking for an entertaining way to pass a few hours, with a lot of laughs and good story that doesn't take itself all that seriously, definitely give this series a go.

Coffee, coffee, coffee ad nauseam. Has spoied for me what was otherwise an above average series. I won't be continuing with it sadly.
