Spooks meets The X-Files with a generous helping of Le Carre, and a dash of Stephen King.
Guy Adams lives in Spain, surrounded by rescue animals. Some of
them are his family. He isn't a spy, but he is a boy, so naturally
he's always dreamed of being one.
Having spent over ten years working as a professional actor and
comedian, eventually he decided he'd quite like to eat regularly,
so switched careers and became a full-time writer. Nobody said he
was clever. Against all odds he managed to stay busy and since then
he has written over twenty books.
there is much in this novel to entice us to take our sleeping bag
to the nearest bookshop doorstep and queue early for Book 3

In a way, we wish Adams had started writing these thirty years ago
so there would be a rich vein of stories for the new fan to
discover. As it is, we must be content with two very well written
and funny books. At least there’s a third on the way, though it’s a
shame we have to wait for it.

Several writers are now mining a very British style of urban magic,
some more convincingly than others. For me, The Rain-Soaked Bride
confirms Guy Adams position as the market leader... a thoroughly
entertaining sequel, and well worth adding to any urban fantasy
collection.

This is a great example of why you should stick with a series for
at least two books. The first book always has to spend time setting
everything up but the second book can really show you what an
author is capable of (although it can go the other way, too, of
course). I thoroughly enjoyed The Rain-Soaked Bride and hope there
are many more books to come in this series.
