The Nightingale paranormal detective series, starting with Book 1 - Nightfall by Stephen Leather is our SERIES PICK for July. It is rated Adult.



"“You're going to hell, Jack Nightingale.” These are the words that ended Jack Nightingale's career as a police negotiator. Now a struggling private detective, the chilling words return with a vengeance when Jack inherits a mansion with a priceless library—and a terrifying warning from a man who claims to be his father. Nightingale quickly learns his soul was sold at birth and a devil will come to claim it on his thirty-third birthday, which is just three short weeks away..."

I love this book!!! I'll definitely be participating :)

[Sarah]

Please tell me there are members out there reading this book! The whole series is really amazing. One of the best demonic series I've read. I read the first three books a while ago and recently found out that there are an additional two. I would really love to discuss them with someone.

My TBR list is sooooo long. Time! Time! This series sounds fascinating.

[Sarah]

It's a favorite of mine.

[Dale]

Sounds great! I just picked up my copy! The problem is, I don't see the 2nd and 3rd books available in the US... I've read that they're available in the UK though

I just checked Amazon and Book 2 and 3 are available there. The titles are enrolled in Kindle Unlimited though, which means the author signed an indentured servitude exclusivity clause, which means the electronic versions probably won't be available any place else. :-P

I'm think going to make a new rule going forward that all nominations have to be available on -ALL- digital platforms, not just Amazon or I'll disqualify them. I'm a Nook/Kobo girl ... and THIS is a global community.

[Sarah]

Well, I use a Kindle and I have to say that's horrible! On Amazon's part, not yours Anna. I had no idea they were doing that! Does that even happen if the books have been out for awhile? I first read this series a couple of years ago. I was actually thinking of signing up for Kindle Unlimited, too.

B&N has them on paperback, maybe a used copy?

[Dale]

I have a Nook too, BUT I have the Kindle app on my Nook, so I can read kindle books as well.

This book was really good, slightly gross at parts but good ending.

I'll consider it and maybe run it by the other mods. At this point (for August) I didn't announce it far enough in advance to get other group reads. I don't think Mr. Leather made his business decisions based on what a mid-sized Goodreads group does, though.

[Dale]

I've started the book, and am enjoying it so far. I'm intrigued as he's just learned about his father. :)
