This one got off to a rather slow and bumpy start--yes, there was a Big Bad to deal with, but the first 30 or so pages contained too much rehash of previous adventures and conditions while they prepared for the hunt. I've seen similar rehash in some other series' novels, and I suspect it's a marketing strategy that I want to blame on the publishers--make it possible for a reader to pick up any book in a series and read it without feeling lost and perhaps encourage him/her to go back and get the previous books of the series. A little recap can be useful. But when you've read all the other books, know what happened, and just want to get on with the next story, sometimes it just feels like the rehash is slowing you down.
But that complaint aside, once things got going, this was a good read. I like Cal, Niko, and Robin more with each installment. And Robin's mummified pet cat, Salome, is just too much--talk about creepy and funny. My emotional attachment to the characters has grown, and there were a couple of things in this one that actually made me choke up a little. We'd seen Catcher and Rafferty briefly in a previous book; but this time, we got some of the action from Catcher's point of view. I like Catcher a lot; and I was sympathetic to his and Rafferty's plight, as well as amused by Catcher's observations and actions. The last chapter from his point of view really got to me. Cal slipping a little more toward the Auphe side made me cringe and feel awful for him. I was glad that Rafferty was able to get rid of the physical reminder of what happened, given what it means to Cal and his connection to Niko. I worry about what's next for Cal.
I'll admit that, at times, having a situation in which Cal, Rafferty, Catcher, and Robin were travelling long distances in a car together felt like an overdose on the smart-ass attitude. Rafferty and Cal are a little too much alike. But Rafferty's skills were impressively fierce, and doing battle with the super-scary villain nearly cost him too much. The way that played out was logical and convincing.
I really don't like Delilah. Thurman's done a great job in creating a character who's 100% dedicated to her own agenda, but--damn--I want Delilah to leave Cal the hell alone now. But I get the feeling that whole mess won't be over until one of them is dead.
Looking forward to more books!(less)

This one was a little too introspective and talky compared to previous books in the series and less action, sometimes taking up only a couple of paragraphs. The plot was fine if a little predictable. The final battle wasn't one of her best, not enough characters almost dying, but it was good. :)

I was sooo excited to read this book and compared to the other books in the series, which happens to be one of my favorites, this one is the weakest. I'm sooo disappointed. The first 4 chapters were pretty much a re-hash of the previous 4 books in the series and an ode to brother/cousin love. It was incredibly repetitive and kind of waned my interest in the book. The book does get better once they hit the road.

Someone has stolen a coffin from her clan, and this isn't just any coffin. It contains Suyolak, the Rom who once-upon-a-time unleashed the Black Plague for kicks.

If you're a reader who falls deeply on the "urban fantasy" side of the "paranormal romance/urban fantasy" divide, and you don't mind your setting a bit gritty, gruesome, and dark, I recommend you pick up this series. And if, like me, gritty and gruesome scares you a little, I think you'll find it worth hanging in there past the icky parts for the brothers themselves, and for my favorite character, the marvelous Robin Goodfellow (yep, that Robin Goodfellow! Take two parts Captain Jack Harkness [minus the angst], one part Barney Stinson, and one part memetic sex god, and you might come close to imagining what this version of Robin Goodfellow is like).

In Roadkill, Cal and Niko are hired by their old enemy Abelia-Roo, the gypsy queen, to find a stolen coffin containing an evil known as Suyolak or The Plague of the World. Once known as a healer, Suyolak was chained to a rock, and gypsy legend says when he breaks free he will devour the world. Only Niko's super-active conscience, and the hefty reward promised by Abelia-Roo, persuade Cal to join his brother in hunting down and destroying Suyolak, So the brothers, along with their companions Robin Goodfellow, the undead cat Salome, werewolf healer Rafferty and his cursed cousin Catcher, embark on a journey to hunt down this ancient evil. All the while, Cal is battling the Auphe inside him, Rafferty is trying to find a cure for his cousin, and Robin is fighting the biggest struggle of all: monogamy.

In a long running series, authors are sometimes tempted to shake up the formula a bit, often with mixed results. For Thurman, this has meant the occasional stepping outside Cal's perspective, notably in books 4 and 5 (although she arguably did this in the first book as well). In book 4, Deathwish, this was done by alternating Cal's perspective with Niko's, which I rather enjoyed (though I love Cal's voice the best). In Roadkill, the non-Cal narration is not as frequent, and comes from Catcher, a werewolf who is trapped in his wolf shape (not a tragedy from the werewolf perspective) but also slowly losing the human part of his mind. Catcher's condition is a result of an experiment done on him by his cousin, the (also werewolf) healer Rafferty, trying to cure his leukemia, which it did but at such a cost. The relationship between Rafferty and Catcher serves as a nice counterpart to that between Niko and Cal; they are equally devoted, and (as we are starting to find out) Cal and Catcher are equally at risk of losing their true selves. At the same time, there is a parallel drawn between Rafferty and Suyolak, as the gift of healing is shown to be not as harmless as one might assume.

I really enjoyed this installment of the Cal Leandros series, which made me very anxious to read the next. If I have one complaint, it is that it has always been clear how devoted Cal and Niko are to one another, even through their snarky insults. So when Cal thinks or Niko even says how close they are, it felt a bit obvious and unneeded. But that's a minor complaint that doesn't hurt the book overall. Definitely recommended.(less)

I'm usually drawn to most of the elements thrown into the mix, but I will often complain about the snarky one-liners thrown in when I review most paranormal fiction. But the Cal Leandros series by Rob Thurman is the one series that I think uses this element effectively-- and actually has me looking forward to seeing what the characters are going to say next.

"Roadkill" is the fifth book in a series about Caliban and Niko Leandros. Technically Cal and Niko are half-brothers, but you wouldn't say that to Niko's face. Cal is the result of an unholy union between an Auphe and a Gypsy mother. The Auphe are the monstrous creatures that somehow became the basis for the elf myth-- even if the only thing the Auhpe have in common with elves are the pointy ears. Cal has spent most of his life running from the Auphe who had planned to use Cal to wipe humanity from the planet.

After defeating, and hopefully destroying, the Auphe, Cal has finally found some peace in his life. Working for his brother as a kind of supernatural private investigator and spending time with a very attractive female werewolf have done great things for Cal's mood. Yet good times seem to be fleeting for Cal, and when he is attacked by a werewolf he realizes that the wolves may not be too happy that one of their kind is sleeping with a man who is half-Auphe--but relationship troubles turn out to be the least of Cal's worries.

An ancient evil, known as the Plague of the World, has been stolen from his prison and an old Gypsy woman hires Cal and Niko to stop the man that created the Black Death before he has a second chance to unleash Hell on Earth.

I'm going to come right out and say it-- I'm a huge fan of Rob Thurman. She's one of the few reliable authors when it comes to urban fantasy. Five books in and I like the fifth book as much as the first-- and every one in between are worthy of reading again.

The relationships are the thing. Most of the books are told through Cal's perspective, though the last two books have seen a shift to include Niko, and even a werewolf's point of view. But Cal is who it is really all about. He is one of a kind-- and not in a good way. And if he has a smart-mouth, it's driven primarily out of the fear of what he may become if he loses his touch with his human side. The Auphe aren't known for their sense of humor. Cal's life line, in a very literal sense, has been his brother Niko. And there is no doubt that Cal will do anything to make his brother proud-- well, as long as he gets to complain about it first. But there is still always the danger that Cal's Auphe side will lose control and he'll do something that isn't just stupid, but potentially deadly. Niko's faith in him has not completely eased Cal's worries that he may, one day, harm his brother-- So it's a good thing Niko can kick Cal's butt ten times out of ten-- as Niko is only to happy to remind him.

Much of "Roadkill" is told as a sort of road-trip story, just one that has a half-Auphe, two werewolves, a Puck and a human along for the ride. These are the times when Cal really lets the snark show, and it could be annoying if wasn't balanced against the personalities of the other characters. Fortunately, all of Thurman's characters are strong enough to hold their own opposite Cal. His brother Niko is a super-disciplined martial arts expert who never fails to remind Cal that Cheetos do not belong in a major food group and Robin Goodfellow (famously known as the puck from William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night's Dream) is on the trip to test a vow of monogamy and act as a general distraction.

Thurman keeps up the action, but also throws in a few, slightly disturbing, interludes to keep the pace from being too fast. This dark fantasy isn't for the faint of heart, but it's as fun as it is grim. Thurman always adds intriguing mythology to her warped world and I look forward to seeing what she comes up with. "Roadkill," for my money, is as good as urban fantasy gets.(less)

Roadkill is the fifth book in the Cal Leandros series by Rob Thurman. I have to say that though I liked this book, it was a bit of a disappointment considering how much I loved Deathwish (book four). The writing was well done, the snarky bickering thinly disguised as brotherly love between Cal and Niko was there, but the story itself was lacking in my opinion as was the action I've come to love from Thurman's books.
