Downfall





The next book in the New York Times bestselling Cal Leandros series, this is a clever, snarky, and hugely entertaining contemporary fantasy.

I let it go—all of it. Everything I’d been saving up all my life, building and growing inside me, too much to hold in one half-human body. It pushed and fought to be free with a force that turned me into a bomb with a timer vibrating on zero. I was free.

But so was everything I’d fought so hard not to be....

Brothers Cal and Niko Leandros know trouble when they see it—and then proceed to wipe the floor with it. But now it seems their whole world is falling to pieces. Cal’s nightmarish monster side is growing ever stronger, changing Cal physically as well as mentally. Which is exactly what Grimm—Cal’s savage doppelgänger—wants. And when a covert supernatural organization decides that it’s time to put Cal down before he threatens pretty much everything else in existence, the brothers find themselves in a fight they actually might lose. But the dark temptations Cal has denied all his life may prove to be exactly what can save them.

Even if he must fall forever…

Praise for Downfall

Praise for SLASHBACK:
This dark and dynamic urban fantasy series continues to not only maintain but exceeds the expectations of it's fans. Smexy Books
A roller coaster ride of horror and humor. Bookshelf Bombshells
[The Brothers Leandros] are back in style in a way that surpasses the last book on every level. Bookin' It
Thurman does her usual stellar job of combining wisecracks and violence, but the relationship between Cal and Niko remains the heart of the series. RT Book Reviews
The book quickly became a page-turner, just like all of the previous books have been. This is a great series and I highly recommend it to readers who like gritty and violent urban fantasy with undertones of noir humor. Fang-tastic Fiction Praise for the CAL LEANDROS series:
"[This series] has become an exceptional modern bildungsroman with a soundtrack by Rage Against the Machine." -- Horror-Web "If you love the Winchester boys of Supernatural, there's a good chance you will love the Leandros brothers of Thurman's books." -- Dear Author "The plot is complex enough to please mystery fans, with supernatural elements that put this in the company of Jim Butcher and Charlaine Harris." -- SF Revu "NIGHTLIFE is a roaring rollercoaster of a read, with supernatural highs and lows, and a Hell of a lean over at the corners. It's sharp and sardonic, mischievous and mysterious, with a mid way switch that'll take your breath away. The truth is Out There, and it's not very pretty..." -- Simon R. Green, NYT bestselling author
"There's no one who does dark urban fantasy quite like Rob Thurman. There's no glamor, little romance, some camp, and a whole lot of snark. Her voice is unique and utterly unmistakable, as are the tales she tells." -- The Ranting Dragon
"Touching and at times hilarious, yet intensely compelling, Thurman's storylines are among the darkest in urban fantasy... Any book by Thurman is worth the purchase." -- Fresh Fiction
