"A humorous take on Urban Fantasy!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Apocalypse To Go
Katharine Kerr

Reviewed by Lyn Nicholas
Posted October 1, 2012

Fantasy Urban

APOCALYPSE TO GO is an intriguing mix of urban fantasy and political thriller. Alternate universes, secret organizations, aliens, rival gangs and were- leopards! There are so many refreshing new ideas in this series. I mean where else can you find were-leopards?

APOCALYPSE TO GO is a fast-paced supernatural adventure, with tons of wit, some action, more wise-cracks, and a bit of romance.

The character development is excellent and I loved getting some insight into the lives of Nola's two brothers. I also really enjoyed the progression of Nola and her boyfriend Ari's relationship. They are just about the cutest couple in UF right now. These characters are a never-ending barrel of fun and I can't wait for you to get to know them too!

It's unbelievable how deep the history of Nola's family goes and I love how much we've learned about them. I'm sure there's still much more to come, and I will definitely be there to find out in the next book.

The subplots are just as vast and interesting as the main storyline and the dialogue has constant laugh-out-loud moments. With stellar world-building, Katharine Kerr has really outdone herself in this installment.

I strongly recommend this series. You can easily start with APOCALYPSE TO GO or just go out and get the whole series. Either way, I really think you'll enjoy this series as much as I have!

SUMMARY

Nola O'Grady has enough trouble when a were-leopard accuses her of receiving stolen property. But when her younger brother Michael goes searching for their missing father, he lands himself and his brother, Sean, in a world of hurt- quite literally-in a deviant world version of San Francisco. Can Nola and her partner in the Apocalypse Squad, Israeli Interpol agent Ari Nathan, find her brothers in time to save them from death by radiation poisoning? The search will lead them through a city of secrets, but the worst secret of all lurks at the heart of the only thing Nola loves more than Ari: her family.
