About this ebook
Santa Mondega is no ordinary town, and its inhabitants are even less ordinary: gangsters, martial-arts monks, low-lifes, bounty hunters, vampires and Elvis-impersonating hitmen abound. And then, in the shadowed streets, there lurks the serial killer known only as the Bourbon Kid.
In The Book With No Name, an unnamed book brings violent death to anyone who reads it. A mysterious stone - the Eye of the Moon - has vanished. And a total eclipse is about the cast the town into utter darkness.
Detective Miles Jensen must race to uncover the link between the book, the murders and the Kid. But, as the mystery unravels, he discovers that there's more to Santa Mondega than meets the eye.
Thus begins the adventures of the Bourbon Kid and the strange and sinister occurrences in Santa Mondega ...

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Those that survived from the first book are back in this sequel to The Book With No Name. So how do you write a follow up to that book? It's more of the same only with bigger and badder bad guys, more blood and gore you can shake a stick at and an even higher body count than the original. So not only do we have vampires and werewolves we also have an Egyptian Mummy to contend with. Add in an origin story for The Bourbon Kid and more details from the past of The Eye of the title then you're all set for another roller-coaster ride during your stay in Santa Mondega. If you've read and enjoyed the first of the series then you won't be disappointed in this one.

The author tried to give Bourbon Kid a motivation here, whereas in the first book, it was just the way he was - which actually was more in the spirit of the book.I still really enjoyed it though, and had a very difficult time putting it down.

It's wacky enough to appeal to my sense of the absurd, and only occasionally had me wincing from the graphic decapitations.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The follow up to the Book With No Name, Eye of the Moon reveals the further adventures of the Bourbon Kid, and the other colourful residents of Santa Mondega, following the fancy dress massacre at the Tapioca Bar. The Bourbon Kid has vanished following his latest act of mass murder, and Sanchez has a comatose lodger hidden away upstairs in the Tapioca, a lodger he'll do anything to keep hidden. At the local museum, a mummy vanishes. Ulrika Price the nasty librarian has a secret too, and Dante and Kacy are still obliviously in love, but they don't remain oblivious for long. Peto the monk has returned to Santa Mondega in search of the Bourbon Kid, while everyone else is looking for Peto's prize won at the end of the last book - the Eye of the Moon.Unlikely alliances are formed as the police, Peto the monk and a mysterious mummy all try to find the powerful Eye of the Moon, each for their own reasons. Bloody murder ensues in copious amounts. Written with plenty of pop culture references, great humour (British?) and plotted to be surefire pageturners, these books have everything: humour, love, revenge, vampires, sex, violence. And bourbon. Anonymous, pour me another, and quickly.
