    <body><![CDATA[I really like the the blend of mystery/noir and paranormal/occult in the Felix (Fix) Castor series. The mystery element is the real meat of the story, not just a sub-plot to carry the paranormal elements along. In some ways Felix reminds of my favorite P.I. Jack Taylor who is the lead in a series by...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66412811">more...</a>]]></body>

There seems to be a burgeoning sub-genre of magic noir, some of which totally sucks (I'm looking at you, Harry Dresden), some of which doesn't (hello John Constantine.)

The one thing I have trouble with in this is the device that the main character uses to work his magic, for lack of a better term, is a tin whistle.  It is a non-sequitur.

    <body><![CDATA[More fun and games with Fix. Goes over some stuff from the 1st book to bring new readers up to speed with some characters. I like the cards as a binding agent that Peace uses, and the were folk continue to be like angry knives wrapped in skin.

    <body><![CDATA[I seem to be on this type of paranormal detective kick at the moment. I'm currently waiting for the next Dresden Files novel and I have the first two books in the Nightside series sitting behind me right now. Vicious Circle fit this bill nicely.

    <body><![CDATA[In this second novel all creative metaphors are abandoned for a great deal of fisticuffs, profanity of all kinds, and an apocalyptic scenario. Castor seems to fall a notch down in intelligence and blunders around the book in a kind of thuggish noir desperation which results in an all or nothing fina...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39667229">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Carey's writing is interesting and engrossing. His hero is refreshingly realistic and sarcastic about his adventures. This is a dark novel that is not without great moments of hilarity in the form of dry cynicism, making it more accessible and entertaining.]]></body>
