The Night Dahlia by R.S. Belcher is the sequel to Night
Wise. Laytham Ballard is a John Constantine type figure who has now
been hired by a high-ranking Faerie to find his missing daughter. Unfortunately,
she has been missing more than a decade. To solve this cold case Laytham
Ballard will have to face his past and scour the world for clues in his mission
to find her.
If one enjoyed the first book then one knows what to expect.
In this tale, Laytham Ballard edges are softened a bit more, but the core
character remains the same. The Night Dahlia
is one of those books where to tell much about the plot would kill the
point of reading the book. It can be said that this book also features the same
sort of humor, action, and lots of magic as the first and also has a lot of content
that could make readers uncomfortable. It goes without saying, but will be said
anyway, that this is a series that builds and thus these books should be read in
order.
If one enjoys a story where the good guy tries to do the
right thing, but lives in a world where it is hard to be good and makes
mistakes, you should like this read. If you like John Constantine, you will
probably like Laytham Ballard. The Night Dahlia is a good sequel
that leaves readers wanting more.
