Half-human/half-monster Cal Leandros knows that family is a pain. But now that pain belongs to his half-brother, Niko. Niko's shady father is in town, and he needs a big favor. Even worse is the reunion being held by the devious Puck race-including the Leandros' friend, Robin- featuring a lottery that no Puck wants to win.

As Cal tries to keep both Niko and Robin from paying the ultimate price for their kin, a horrific reminder from Cal's own past arrives to remind him that blood is thicker than water-and that's why it's so much more fun to spill.

Review of 'Doubletake: A Cal Leandros Novel (Cal and Niko)' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Series so far: 1) The thing that is the big bad.
2) Is dealt with eventually.
3) But wait, it's back.
4) And permanently dealt with.
5) But wait, it's back
6) And again.

OK, I'm out.

And really, the writing is solid, and I adore a couple of the characters, but by the gods and kittens this is Marvel level, "But wait, there's more!"
