Read: Thicker Than Water, Mike Carey

The fourth and (to date) most recent book featuring private exorcist Felix Castor. This time Fix is in over his head when a spate of violence at a housing project leads him to something he’s never run into before. Before long, he’s embroiled with the police and his own personal demons, both literal and figurative. While I found the main plot of the book less entrancing than some of the previous installments, I did enjoy both the beginning of the book and the finale, which promises a blockbuster fifth book to come. I’ve enjoyed every book in this series a lot, and Carey’s writing style, a heady blend of noir, humor, and gore, has much to do with that. I look forward to further installments.
