![]() ![]() ![]() But in uncovering this man's identity, Carlos confronts the truth of his own life - and death. I’m probably in the minority for saying this, but of the two novels written by Daniel José Older released in 2015, Shadowshaper and Half-Resurrection Blues, I far preferred the latter, largely because it’s an adult novel, so Older has much more space to demonstrate just how excellent a writer he is. They've already taken out some of NYCOD's finest, leaving Carlos desperate to stop their master before he opens up the entrada to the Underworld - which would destroy the balance between the living and the dead. He's summoned a horde of implike ngks capable of eliminating spirits, and they're spreading through the city like a plague. He thinks he is one of a kind - until he encounters other entities walking the fine line between life and death. This is the first book in the critically-acclaimed Bone Street Rumba series by New York Times bestselling author Daniel Jos Older. Usually, it's something mundane like a suicide gone wrong or someone revived that shouldn'ta been."Ĭarlos Delacruz is one of the New York Council of the Dead's most unusual agents - an inbetweener, partially resurrected from a death he barely recalls suffering, after a life that's missing from his memory. "Because I'm an inbetweener - and the only one anyone knows of at that - the dead turn to me when something is askew between them and the living. First in a brand new urban fantasy series ![]()
