"You can find anything in the Nightside-if it doesn't find you first. John Taylor is not a private detective per se, but he has a knack for finding lost things. That's why he's been hired to descend into the Nightside, an otherworldly realm in the center of London where fantasy and reality share renting space and the sun never shines"

I love this series. John Taylor is the relatively normal one (which isn't saying much) in a world filled with otherworldly creatures, where reality is ever-changing and magic abounds. There are so many bizarre characters, some you come to like, and some you definitely are wise to give a wide berth. No matter the scope of mystery or impending apocalypse, Taylor finds himself not only in the middle of it, but usually the pivotal character who will determine who rules the Nightside. And sooner or later, all roads lead to Goodfellows, the oldest bar in the universe. Deeds are done, favors called in or owed, and in the end, NOBODY messes with John Taylor, though some have tried.]]>
