  <default_description>My brother had spent a lifetime - mine, at least - telling me that I was normal, that I wasn't a monster. With his help, I';d finally realized that as long as I could remain who I was, I could survive what I was. It was only bad genes.......

Half-human Cal Leandros and his brother, Niko, aren't exactly prospering with their preternatural detective agency. Who could have guessed that business would dry up in New York City, where vampires, trolls, and other creepy crawlies are all over the place?

But now there's a new arrival in the Big Apple. A malevolent evil with ancient powers, dead set on making history with on orgy of blood and murder, is picking off humans like sheep. And for Cal and Niko, this is one paycheck they're going to have to earn..if they live long enough to collect it.

Madhouse was just as angsty and melodramatic as the previous two in the series, but the edge of self-aware irony elevates it from goth to highly entertaining.

    <body><![CDATA[They say the third time is the charm, and I have to say I really liked this one.  Both Cal and Robin Goodfellow have to deal with some personal issues, in the midst of hunting a revived legend who is leaving a trail of gore and bodies in his wake.  The violence and graphic descriptions are upped a b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47788814">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the third book in the Cal Leadros series and unlike many series, it didn't get more boring as the story progressed. The plot is totally original; there is nothing cliche about this book. Cal and Niko continue their self-apointed job as 'detectives', but the new supernatural enemy that shows ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42268161">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Good, but still an excedingly dark series.  I'm finding it's difficult to read these books back to back because they are so hard on the heros. This one is about exterminating a crazy serial-killing redcap that has been reanimated in the Met. Unrelated, Cal also loses his virginity and claims to have...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53580937">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the third in the series from Rob Thurman.  LOVED it.  The ongoing plot involving Cal and his brother who have lived their lives on the run from dark creatures which turn out to be the &quot;clan&quot; of Cal's previously unknown father is very interesting and intricate.

    <body><![CDATA[I would probably give this one 3 1/2 stars.  I thought this was the best of the three mostly due to the story line and the set up for the next book.  Still a lot of classic lines of sarcasm.  A good story with &quot;ok&quot; characters.  Good enough to to want to read the next one when it comes alon...]]></body>
