If you have read a lot of urban fantasy, love it, but want to find something totally innovative, check out this series. Supernatural sanitation workers! That says it all. This second volume in the Cleaners series continues to be a fast and enjoyable read, even as it delves into grim territory at times. Much of Enter the Janitor involved Dani discovering and accepting her new cleaning prowess; here, she fumbles to wield her new power as more is revealed about the history and dark potential of the Cleaners and Scum. The pace is very fast, with the darkness lightened somewhat by fun banter with an expanding cast of characters, as well as old favorites like Tetris the lizard and Carl the water-elemental-in-a-spray-bottle. I really like how Vogt is raising the stakes, and I'm curious about where things will go from here. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieThe Cleaners (book 2)
After surviving employee orientation without destroying the city with her new powers, Dani is finally a bonafide Cleaner. Raring to get to work and save the world from Corruption, she's given the critical assignment of...full-time tools training. After all, what good are magic mops or squeegees if she doesn't know how to properly wield them against Scum? For now, she's stuck in sparring matches where her pride is getting as bruised as her body. Ben, her janitor friend and mentor, is also struggling with being sidelined as a "consultant" after the loss of his powers. His only consolation is having gained information that could help solve the mystery of his wife's death on a Sewer run gone horribly wrong--the same event that temporarily trashed his sanity.But when a maid goes berserk during a training session and tries to slaughter everyone with a feather duster, something is clearly afoul within the ranks of the Cleaners themselves. Company procedure brooks no compromise: Identify and quarantine the source of the Corruption at all costs. But who cleans the Cleaners? Especially when further enraged outbreaks seem to occur at random? As bodies begin to create quite the messy heap, it's only a matter of time before the whole company is consumed by the madness--taking Dani and Ben down the drain with it.

Book 2, Maids of Wrath, is like an icy plunge into the world of the Cleaners. While the first book offered an introduction to the world and the characters, book 2 showed even more insight into the actual Cleaners, as well as deeper insight to the characters. It's hard to put down, and I felt myself cringing every time something bad happened to any of the characters (but especially Ben and Dani). The story is full of mysteries, and every time you think you are about to get to the bottom of one, another springs up. It's action packed and will keep you guessing long after its conclusion (and impatiently waiting for the sequel).
Vogt's writing style is fun and easy to read. His story-telling has an almost light-hearted feel to such a building darkness. The characters are multi-dimensional and real; it's hard to dislike any of them (although it's possible for a few). The internal struggle for both Ben and Dani is heartbreaking and inspirational. It's easy to get pulled into the story and feel you are right there in it with them. Each chapter flows nicely together. The switch from Dani to Ben and back again was so natural that it didn't disrupt the storytelling, and rather, it made you want to read more.
If you enjoy stories with magic and mystery, it's a definite read. I feel myself almost apt to compare it to a similar tone and impression as the Dresden Files, but it's also completely different. ( )
