“Messy divorce? Check.
Emotional stability of the involved parties? Questionable.
Possibility of bloodshed? High.
Yep; it was definitely starting to sound like one of my cases.”In addition to being San Diego’s supernatural mediator, John Smith is the city’s least successful private investigator. Those two careers collide when what was supposed to be a simple infidelity case draws the attention of the local werewolf pack. John soon finds himself pressed into service mediating a separation between the pack’s married leaders.
Even under normal circumstances, divorce is hell. But when werewolves are involved? It’s murder.

This is chalking up to be a fun series. John lives in his parent’s basement and is a private investigator in our world and a mediator for the supernatural world. He’s currently under the protection of the vampire house. John isn’t supernatural, but for some reason, he cannot be enthralled.
In Blood is Thicker Than Lots of Stuff, John is working on a simple cheating spouse case in the human world when things go sideways and he ends up in the middle of a werewolf problem that quickly becomes a vampire problem.
I am loving all the characters. From the vampires offering dating advice to Bill, the veggie demigod who leaves John with his ward, Jee Sun aka “Tiny Flower”, while he deals with business. The Vampire Queen was ready to pop John’s head off a few times, and I laughed as the tale gained speed and kept me entertained.
John impressed me with the way he handled things, even the Vampire Queen. He has zero finesse but his ideas aren’t bad. He honestly is an excellent negotiator, even if some of it is sheer luck.
This series is best read/listened to in the order of its release. We see character growth and the world building is ongoing, even if Tullbane does a stellar job of bringing new readers up to speed. It truly is a fun series.
Joel Richards narrates and brings both the story and characters to life. He hits on the humor perfectly while capturing the snark, suspense and tones of both characters and the storyline.
