Book Review: "Dr. DOA" by Simon R. Green

From the New York Times bestselling author of From a Drood to a Kill comes the next Secret Histories adventure...
 
The name is Drood, Eddie Drood, also known as Shaman Bond. My family has been safeguarding humanity for generations, facing the hidden horrors of the world so you can sleep at night and remain oblivious to the existence of the monstrous nightmares that walk and stalk among us. 
 
Speaking of predatory night terrors, there is a man who gets away with murder. A man who specializes in removing the problems from other people’s lives, by killing the people who cause those problems. He operates from the darkest shadows of the hidden world, coming and going unseen. No-one knows who he is, just his nomme du muerte. Dr. DOA.
 
Somehow, this demented doc poisoned me. I don’t know how he did it, when or where, but whatever is coursing through my veins seems to be immune to magic cures and treatments. But that’s not going to stop me from finding him and whoever hired him and give them both a taste of their own medicine... - from Goodreads.com

I received a free ARC through Netgalley.com from the publisher, ROC, in exchange for a review.

This is book ten in the Secret Histories story, which is centered around one Eddie Drood, member of one of the most powerful, and secretive families in the world. As expected, the story is a continuation from the previous book, with just a short clip of time having passed in the story world. Eddie, and his girl, a most powerful witch, Molly, get pulled back into the family matters, only to discover that Eddie has been poisoned .... and the rest you can glean from the short synopsis above.

I have read this complete series (to-date) and though sometimes feels a bit predictable, is still entertaining to read due to the snarkiness and sarcasm the characters share with each other. Though there are links to another series by this author (Nightside) I haven't had the desire to try that series yet.I will say one spoiler ... they left a large opening for more books to follow this one.
