If you loved following Carlos Delacruz working cases for the New York Council of the Dead and navigating a hidden supernatural underworld, you’ll click with Peter Grant’s initiation into London’s occult policing in Midnight Riot. Like Carlos juggling hauntings, turf disputes, and fragile truces, Peter learns the ropes at the Folly, negotiating with river gods and tracking a murder spree steeped in rogue magic—smart, funny, and grounded in the streets the way Half-Resurrection Blues makes New York feel haunted and alive.

Carlos’s hunt for the summoner threatening to rip open the barrier between the living and the dead has that perfect supernatural–detective snap. In The Devil You Know, exorcist Felix Castor takes what looks like a routine haunting and uncovers a layered plot that drags him through rival factions, dangerous rituals, and hard moral calls—much like Carlos’s casework for the Council when a simple lead turns into a war that could flood the city with ghosts.

If you appreciated how Carlos will do the Council’s dirty work, cut deals with things that shouldn’t be bargained with, and still try to protect his own, Sandman Slim puts you in the head of James Stark, fresh out of Hell and carving through L.A.’s occult underworld. Stark’s razor‑edged choices, back‑alley sorcery, and grim humor mirror Carlos’s half-dead pragmatism and the way he navigates betrayals and backroom power plays in Half-Resurrection Blues.

Miss the grimy alleys, sudden violence, and uneasy truces Carlos keeps with spirits and fixers? The Blue Blazes follows Mookie Pearl, an enforcer who uses an underworld drug to see what slithers beneath Manhattan’s skin. As gang wars, ancient things, and family betrayals collide, the tone stays dark, blood‑slick, and quip‑sharp—the same bruised, dangerous vibe you got when Carlos’s inbetweener life pulled him into street‑level battles and apocalyptic stakes.

If Carlos’s intimate, first‑person narration—equal parts wisecrack and wound—hooked you, Eric Carter’s voice in Dead Things will feel like coming home. Carter is a modern necromancer dragged back to L.A. to solve his ex’s murder; every lead means dirty magic, angry spirits, and deals he’ll regret. It has that same confessional edge you heard when Carlos talked about being half‑dead, the Council’s demands, and the way love (and the Veil) can cut deep.
