Griffin, Kate -- The Midnight Mayor

More hijinks for the London sorcerer with pronoun problems. I continue to get a kick out of this series. I wasn't sure at first; the author's writing technique is the prose equivalent of a car chase through a shopping mall stocked entirely with brass bands and fireworks. For 550 pages. And yet it works. The monsters are terrifying, the allies are terrifying, the magic feels right under your skin, and Matthew -- who is just beginning to get a handle on being the blue electric angels -- gets the ever-lovin' shit kicked out of him. He also, it seems, gets a job offer or two. I want the third book.
