Book #62

"Uncertain Allies (Connor Grey #5)" by Mark Del Franco

4.5 stars out of 5

5 books in and this is still my most favorite urban fantasy series ever! The stories always feel intimate and cozy, yet they are huge and epic at the same time, too, and Connor, always at the center of whatever is happening, keeps changing the world time and time again. And this time, he goes against Donor Elfenkonig, the Elven King, himself! All the usual suspects are present too, of course: Briallen, Meryl, Murdock, Joe, Shay, Uno... And as always, Connor kicks major ass - unintentionally, of course - and destroys half the city in the process, as is his habit.

I didn't give it 5 stars straight because the beginning was rather wordy, with too much description of what happened in the previous books.

"This is the worst day ever," Conner moaned, putting his head down on the lab counter. "We lied to nuns and my mom's Clark Kent. We're going to hell."

One of my most favorite SV fics ever. It's just too bad that a) the podfic is awfully cut - some parts end mid-word - and b) the author keeps reading "asked" as "axed" and it's incredibly annoying. It really is too bad because other than that, she reads really well and there are no background noises or anything.
