Love on the Run (Nola O'Grady #4)
by
Katharine Kerr (Goodreads Author)
Nola O’Grady is sick and tired of psychic squid-images following her everywhere, waving their tentacles and generally making nuisances of themselves. She and her partner, Ari Nathan, have a dangerous job on their hands, hunting down two criminals who have escaped into another level of the multiverse, the San Francisco of Terra Six.

Love on the Run is the fourth Nola O'Grady adventure and, as they say, the plot thickens. From the first, these books have stood in my mind above the usual urban fantasy by the complexity of the world building. Nola is a paranormal investigator for the Apocalyse Squad, a branch of a super-secret agency; her sweetheart, Israeli Interpol agent Ari, is by no means mundane, and her large extended family is variously gifted and not always on the right side of the law on this and several other Earths....more
This series just gets better and better! In the 4th installment of the Nola O'Grady books, Nola is yet again fighting back against the forces of Chaos and those who would harm her family.
Here is my unapologetic disclaimer: I love Katharine Kerr's works. At least everything that I've read, anyway. I don't think I've ever been disappointed. There, I've said it.

I didn't think this one was the best out of the series, but it is indeed a nice addition. I thought Nola O'Grady shows her growth as a character in this installation. She is no longer denying that she has a painful disorder, nor does she shy away from it. Ari Nathan also shows his strengths have grown as Nola's partner (romantic and professional). That being said I thought the plot was kick butt.

I put off reading this for ages as it seems like this will be the last conventionally published book in the series. Shame on you traditional urban fantasy readers - I can't believe you prefer tramp stamps and vampires to this witty and mature series. The humour is dry, the characters are addictive, the book is pacy and beautifully plotted.
Another urban fantasy set in San Francisco - set in several San Franciscos in fact. Parallel worlds/multiverse stories have always fascinated me, and while this has far fewer swords than Moorcock, the characters are vivid and the adventures kept me up far later than I planned to read.

Any word on #5? There's a break in the publication pattern set up so far (Feb + Aug 2011, Feb + Aug 2012), and this one leaves some open questions.
I wanted to like Love on the Run more but I had a hard time staying interested in the story. Maybe I will reread it when my life is less stressful.
LOVED IT!!!!! So excited that the story continues. Can't wait for the next one in the series!!!!
Pg 77, the start of chapt 5 - DNF.
This is one of those books where the worldS (yes, worlds) building has gotten out of control and difficult to follow. Therefore taking an otherwise interesting premise and making it work to read.
Therefore, I'm off to find something else.

This series just keeps getting better and better! I really enjoyed Love on the Run and look forward to Nola's next adventures
Crosstime fantasy, readable.
