Publisher's summary

Welcome to the Nightside. For those foolish enough to seek it out, it's a literal tourist trap, populated by beings, human and otherwise, who have never seen the sun rise. A place where your dreams can come true—as long as your nightmares don't get you first.

My name is John Taylor. I'm a PI with a special talent for finding lost things. I'm also the reluctant owner of a very special—and dangerous—weapon: Excalibur, the legendary sword (which isn't what you think it is, and never was). Excalibur chose me, and to find out why, I'll have to consult the last defenders of Camelot, a group of knights who dwell in a place that some find more frightening than the Nightside.

London Proper. It's been years since I've been back-and there are good reasons for that....

Love this series!

Not what I normally listen to, but my husband has me hooked! I love John Taylor, Susie Shooter, and all the other well-defined characters! It would be great to see this series made into movies.

Excalibur

I have loved all the nightside stories. This one did the Arthurian legends and I really liked his take on things. it was new and different while still having a lot of the same elements. Bravo!!

Happy Endings are the best!

No matter what the book I’m always happy for happy ending. Definitely worth a listen

Neat

Really enjoyed this one. The description of what would have happened if Merlin accepted his role was truly brutal

Shampoo, rinse, repeat

Introducing X, the next Big Bad, he's the scariest, mostest evil, Big Bad that ever badded.
X postures and speechifies.
John and Suzie defeat X in seconds.

Then, John and Suzie travel, and find Y, an even Bigger Bad, he's even scarier, and evil-er.
Y postures and spechifies.

How many versions of Merlin, Arthur, or the Elves were introduced? So Many.

Per usual in the series, the baddies are barely fleshed out and easily defeated.
Unfortunately, unlike some of the other books, this one is light on interesting creatures and gods,
relying instead on us to be impressed with name dropping from Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake.
It was quite dull. Also, what's with the guy with the manbun on the cover?
