    About this ebook

    Im geheimen Herzen Londons erfüllt die Nightside im Schutze ewiger Dunkelheit jeden noch so abseitigen Wunsch und jede Begierde. Doch man betritt sie auf eigene Gefahr. Die Partylöwen, die hier leben, könnten ihrem Namen alle Ehre machen ...

    John Taylor lebt in der Nightside. Nicht, dass das sein größter Wunsch war - er hat sogar einmal versucht zu entkommen. Aber er kam wieder, und nun scheint er sesshaft zu werden, hat neben seiner Detektei einen Ganztagesjob als Walker - die neue Stimme der Autoritäten der Nightside - und ist verlobt.

    Er wird Suzie Shooter heiraten, die Liebe seines Lebens und gefürchtetste Kopfgeldjägerin der Nightside. Aber in der Nightside ist nichts leicht, weder das Leben noch das Sterben - und manchmal dauert es gar nicht so lang, bis dass der Tod ein Paar scheidet. Ehe Taylor "Ich will" sagen kann, muss er noch einen Fall lösen und seinen ersten Einsatz als Walker bestehen.

    Beides wäre viel leichter, wenn er nicht auf der Flucht vor Freund und Feind gleichermaßen wäre - und wenn seine zukünftige Frau nicht entschlossen wäre, als Mitgift das Geld zu kassieren, das auf seinen Kopf ausgesetzt ist.

      If this is the end to the Nightside series, then I think it was a great way to end it. I really hope its not though.
    • 4/5
      This series is my gory, guilty, bloody pleasure, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. The interesting feature of this particular installment, other than the fact that Our Antihero is now wed to his bounty-hunting lady love, was the use of the Summer of Love as a vessel for evil and manipulation of pure intentions. The villain of the piece, rather than being a purely wicked entity, was being manipulated by those who gave him power, and chose to twist and pervert his dream of peace, love, and beauty to their own ends. That being said, the same storyline did shed an interesting light (no pun or spoilers intended) on the hypocrisy that showed up during the latter times of the Summer of Love, and the hippie movement as a whole. Most authors couldn't get away with intimating such things in widely-read literature, but this is fantasy, and that genre has always been a conduit for social commentary that would, elsewhere, be nearly impossible to make. In summation: worth reading not only as part of the series, but for the subtext that could be so easily overlooked.

      “I know you,” said the Sun King, smiling. “John Taylor. The good man in a bad world. The cold knight in tarnished armour, doing good in dangerous ways."Heading to his office, John Taylor sees the first hint of a new threat to the Nightside, a graffiti message saying "Let the Sunshine in". Now that he is the new Walker, he has decided to stop working as a private investigator, and asks his assistant Cathy to close down his office (and arrange for a door to attend his wedding!). After one last case at the annual ball held by the immortals resident in the Nightside, Taylor's stag party at Strangefellows is well under way when he has to leave because Julien Advent, the Victorian Gentlemen Adventurer and head of the new Authorities needs him to take on his first official case as Walker. After the Hawk's Wind Bar and Grille burned down in 1970, its ghost soon reappeared and it has been doing good business ever since, but now it has vanished along with its staff and customers, Julien Advent (who knows more about what is happening than he is saying) decides to accompany John Taylor in the investigation, and they must save the Nightside from destruction and get to Saint Jude's in time for John and Suzie's wedding the following day. One good thing about this book was that I had always wondered how people managed to cross the Nightside's roads with their dangerous, monstrous traffic, so I was glad to find out that the Authorities provide nice safe underpasses guarded by poltergeists which come down hard on anyone causing trouble, although they aren't bothered about graffiti artists. I was also happy to see Cathy again, as I've missed her in recent books, and I was pleased that she didn't only appear to close down John's office for him, but played a larger part in the story. Now that I've finished the series, started well, but I wasn't so interested in books 4 to 6 which covered the mystery of John Taylor's mother and why the Harrowing had been trying to kill him his whole life. After that I was looking forward to going back to stand-alone stories, but books 7 and 8 were a disappointment and my least favourite of the series. Luckily book 8 was a great improvement, and the 4-book story arc about John Taylor taking over as Walker made a great end to the series. The books can be a bit samey, with various places in the Nightsida, its traffic and recurring characters described the same way in each book, but I read the twelve books in pairs over several year so that didn't annoy me too much, and a few intriguing mentions of the Droods and the Carnacki Institute in the last couple of books have encouraged me to think about reading some of the author's other series that are set in the same world. But first I need to read Shadow's Fall and re-read Drinking Midnight Wine, both of which are stand-alones.

      All John wants is to get to the church on time! But you know something has to go wrong the night before. This time it is not the bachelor party, but his new duties as Walker that interfere. He is willing to do what it takes to get the job done, but it is his friends that make sure he survives the night.
    • 4/5
      And so ends the saga of the Nightside's own John Taylor. I don't know if this was the ending of the series or merely the closing of a chapter in John Taylor's life, but either way it was satisfying and bittersweet, as all good endings are.
    • 5/5
      In what may be the last book of the series John Taylor, Walker, is preparing for his wedding. Off he goes on one last adventure as a Private Eye. Unfortunately; in the end even his closest friends are trying to kill him. The ending rolled everything together well...if this is the last book in the series it's a fitting end.
    • 4/5
      It's hard to believe that we've come to the end. As everyone knows, all things must end, but you never want them to. That's the case with the Nightside. After nearly 10 years, Simon R. Green's macabre and enticing Nightside novels are finally coming to a close with The Bride Wore Black Leather. I've had a complicated relationship with the Nightside novels over the years. I was first drawn to the third book in the series, Nightingale's Lament, due to the gorgeous and mesmerizing cover. Soon after, I went back and read the first two books in the series, then faithfully read each new book as it came out for a few years. Then, I started college. My focus went elsewhere, and it became difficult to justifying spending so much money on recreational reading material. Plus, I got a little bored with Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth. It wasn't until just about a year ago that I decided to revisit the Nightside, especially since I saw that its end was in sight.Now that we're coming to the end it's time for a wedding. The unlikely wedding of John Taylor, everyone's favorite private eye, and Suzie Shooter, the craziness bounty hunter in the Nightside. It's a match made in heaven. Of course, things aren't that easy. At John's stag party (in American: bachelor party), he's pulled into one final investigation that takes him through the bowels of the Nightside once again. This time, John's framed for murder, a murder that could set the entire Nightside against him. And it doesn't help that he's the new Voice of the Authorities...I must admit that the Nightside isn't what it used to be. I don't know if this dark and gritty world just doesn't shock like it used to or if the storytelling isn't on the same level anymore, but regardless, the Nightside was starting to lose its excitement, and it just wasn't as enticing as it once was. Thus, I was concerned about the ending.I wouldn't say that the ending was amazing, but it was certainly solid. Long-time Nightside faithful will find everything in this book that they've come to enjoy from the Nightside, with a satisfying conclusion. I just wish that the Nightside had ended with more of a bang than a whimper.
    • 5/5
      This was the 12th and final book in the Nightside series. It was a great end to the series; a lot of favorite characters are in the story and John Taylor faces a challenge tougher than any he has faced before.John wants to do one last case as a PI before he settles down in his position as the new Walker and ties the knot with Shotgun Suzie. When an anonymous tip about an Immortality Serum shows up on his desk he decides to crash the Immortality Ball to try and figure out what's going on. This draws him into a case involving a double murder and eventually into a face off with the Sun King. The Sun King is trying to bring daylight to the Nightside and John will have to fight both his enemies and his friends if he will wants to stop the Sun King. Not to mention Shotgun Suzie was offered a really really good bounty on John's head and seems bent on collecting...now even the wedding is up in the air.This was a great conclusion to the Nightside series. It wasn't super surprising and there weren't any moments that really awed me, but the story was very well done. We get to see a lot of the wonderfully disturbing and quirky characters that we have come to know and love. Dead Boy, Razor Eddie, the Oblivion brothers are all here. There are some great new characters too; we get to meet Frankenstein's Bride and Jack the Ripper and they were both fun.The best part about this book is that, for reasons I won't reveal, John ends up facing off against a lot of his super powerful friends and these are some interesting fights to read about. The implications of what could happen to the rest of the world if daylight is brought to the Nightside are interesting as well.Suzie isn't in the story a ton, which was a bit disappointing. But the role she plays towards the end of the story is stellar and all around awesome. Readers should be very happy with how the series ends. Although I am a bit sad we won't be seeing more of Taylor and his buddies. I would love to see some books about Taylor in his role as the Walker.It did seem like Green is trying to lure readers over to his Secret Histories series (of which I have read the first book). There are mentions of the Drood family and things that they have done/had happen to them throughout the book. Some of these mentions are spoilers; I was a bit bummed to find out the fate of the Drood family in this book when I had only read the first book in that series up to this point. So just something beware of.Overall a stellar conclusion to this series. Not quite as surprising and earth-shattering as Sharper than a Serpant's Tooth was, but still a very well done book. We get to read about a lot of our favorite characters and Taylor has to unravel a plot to bring daylight to the Nightside. Fans of this series should enjoy this installment. If you love dark urban fantasy full of quirky characters I highly recommend this series. It is a lot of fun and you never know what crazy thing each new page will bring.
