Midnight Taxi Tango
Midnight Taxi Tango: A Bone Street Rumba Novel | Daniel José Older
38 posts | 31 read | 24 to read
The author of Half-Resurrection Blues returns in a new Bone Street Rumba Novel—a knife-edge, noir-shaded urban fantasy of crime after death.The streets of New York are hungry tonight...   Carlos Delacruz straddles the line between the living and the not-so alive. As an agent for the Council of the Dead, he eliminates New York’s ghostlier problems. This time it’s a string of gruesome paranormal accidents in Brooklyn’s Von King Park that has already taken the lives of several locals—and is bound to take more.   The incidents in the park have put Kia on edge. When she first met Carlos, he was the weird guy who came to Baba Eddie's botánica, where she worked. But the closer they’ve gotten, the more she’s seeing the world from Carlos’s point of view. In fact, she’s starting to see ghosts. And the situation is far more sinister than that—because whatever is bringing out the dead, it’s only just getting started.From the Paperback edition.

My favorite secondary character without a doubt is the ever dapper, Reza, keeper of my heart and the tippy top of my fictional girlfriends list.

In honor of April Fools Day, I'm primarily reading fun books this month. I also have a crapload of audio books, graphic novels and book club books to read. Off to the reading fortress I go! #aprilbookshowers #apriltbr

rockpools Love that idea! 8y
BekahB Ohhh The Hike sounds so weird and interesting! I've been tempted to start the Discworld series but I'm intimidated by the number of books. 😬 8y
SuperPunkNinja @BekahB I hear ya! I'm just going in chronological order. I read the first two a while ago and now seems like a good time to read some more. 8y

I stayed up past my bedtime, finishing this. Imaginative supernatural, with sarcasm and some gory bits. Reads like a love letter to Brooklyn, also.

I want to be like Reza too!

Oh I loved this book so damn much. Kia and Reza and Carlos are just the best characters. I almost don't want to read the next one because I don't want it to end.

At home sick today.

Gonna try to focus enough to get through this one today. I've been feeling very restless lately and thusly haven't been able to read much. My February stats are abysmal.

Jas16 Feel better soon! 8y

This universe is such a joy to return to. I enjoy these books more on paper (or ebook) than as audiobooks. I'll definitely pick up the last book in the series soon.

I can't think of a better way to treat a cold than sitting around with a #littenkitten reading about a kick-ass half dead guy, and his equally kick-ass teenage girl associate. #MakeRoomMakeRoom

The only advantage I can find to the Martian Death Crud my coworker gave me is that I'm getting plenty of reading / #littenkitten cuddle time. Sadly only Zelda seems interested in cuddles, Zora has been seduced by the new cushion on the bookshelf directly in front of the furnace vent. I'm pretty sure that spot has overtaken even the heating pad in her affections. Such fickle creatures #catsoflitsy

For day 6 of #RiotGrams I have my current reads. One on audio, and two on paper. That's more or less the opposite ratio of what I usually have going.

Finished this on audio this morning with a minute to spare before I had to start class. I love this series - urban fantasy, #ownvoices, diverse characters....though if you object to swearing this one is definitely not for you. Also, there are cockroaches...LOTS of them *shudder* #LitsyAtoZ #LetterO @bookriot #ReadHarder #fantasynovel

WhatDeeReads @MicheleinPhilly You do! DJO is one of my favorite authors. There is a lot of swearing, if that matters to you. This book is a sequel. The first one is just as good. 8y
MicheleinPhilly No, that doesn't make one f***ing difference to me. 😉 8y

I have a lot of books that fit the #diversereads category, so I decided to highlight my favorite #ownvoices author, Daniel Jose Older. I like every book I read of his more than the last. I can't wait for Shadowshaper 2 and Battle Hill Bolero. #booktober

This is the second book in the Bone Street Rumba series. The first book was great and this one was amazing. I really enjoy his writing and story telling. If you haven't read either of these I highly recommend them both. Cannot wait to read more from him!

Quake with jealousy. I had the pleasure of meeting the incredibly talented Daniel José Older today at #BookCon2016. Please go read all his books.

WhatDeeReads @BookishFeminist due to poor planning, I missed him at BRLive and was pissed! I had no idea he would be at BookCon. I was so glad. 8y
BookishFeminist @Lucky_Ladee Aw man! I'm glad you got the chance to meet him at BookCon. (Poor planning of my own prevented me from being there this year!) He's such a great person to chat with! 8y
