Something from the Nightside by Simon R. Green
4.0
Rating: 3 1/2 stars
Underneath the city of London lays the passageways to a deeper underground that few are familiar with: the Nightside. Normal things don't happen in the Nightside and normal people don't live there. It is always nighttime and you will find creatures of all shapes and sizes residing there, some good but mostly some evil. It is definitely the land that the Twilight Zone would've been based on.
Private Investigator John Taylor was born and bred in the Nightside but found safety living in the real world for the past five years. However, a new client, Joanna Barrett, has come to him with a scary prospect: her daughter had been lured into the Nightside by some unknown force and she new that Taylor would be the only one to help her find her. Throwing away his promise of never returning to Nightside, Taylor leads Barrett into his old turf to find her missing daughter.
This book was recommended to me by my husband and I did enjoy it. My only complaint is that I really wanted to get more into the heart of what the Nightside actually was, to see more characters, and to delve deeper into the other characters that are introduced in the book. Green uses too many cliches and annoyingly repeats "only in the Nightside" (or some version thereof) but other than that it was a nice easy read.
