The Sandman Slim series by Richard Kadrey is one I’ve been super eager to get started on.
START EVERY BOOK SERIES YOU WANT AND EMBRACE THE HORROR OF YOUR ENDLESS TBR!!! I don’t make the rules, but there are no rules any more.
I’m sure I’ve started more than a few reviews this year (I’m not checking) talking about how I’m gonna really buckle down, dig deep, and finish more series/trilogies, as opposed to starting new ones. But when his first stop saddles him with an abusive talking head, Stark discovers that the road to absolution and revenge is much longer than you’d expect, and both Heaven and Hell have their own ideas for his future. Or, if you’re James Stark, you spend eleven years in Hell as a hitman before finally escaping, only to land back in the hell-on-earth that is Los Angeles. This time, the battle is right here on the gritty streets of the City of Angels, where a very clever, very ballsy killer lies in wait.Life sucks and then you die. and a few others.įor years, Slim has been fighting cosmic forces bent on destroying Heaven, Hell, and Earth. But escaping her demise has had dire consequences for the rest of the world. Along the way he meets a mysterious girl –distinguished by a pair of graveyard eyes – as badass as Slim: she happens to be the only person who ever outwitted Death. Stark follows a sordid trail deep into LA’s subterranean world, from vampire-infested nightclubs to talent agencies specializing in mad ghosts, from Weimar Republic mystical societies to sleazy supernatural underground fight and sex clubs. Death needs Sandman Slim’s help: he believes anyone who can beat Lucifer and the old gods at their own game is the only one who can solve his murder. Someone has tried to kill Death – ripping the heart right out of him – or rather the body he’s inhabiting. Now, he’s come face to face with the one entity few care to meet: Death. James Stark has met his share of demons and angels, on earth and beyond. KILLING PRETTY is the seventh book in the fantastic Sandman Slim series. A smart, kick-arse Urban Fantasy from a new master of the genre.
