Series background & context
This series follows Simon Strong, an immortal detective, and Tristan Montague, an old and dangerous mage, as they work supernatural cases across New York City. The basic pitch is simple and very effective: detective fiction, but every suspect, witness, client, and crime scene might involve creatures, councils, cursed objects, or very old magic.
Simon is practical, mouthy, and hard to intimidate. Monty is brilliant, secretive, and often one bad decision away from escalating a problem with magic. Their partnership is the engine of the whole run. One pushes, one grumbles, both keep going, and the city survives mostly because they do.
Usually.
The early books lean into investigations, missing figures from myth, werewolf outbreaks, vampire politics, and dangerous magical factions. Later entries grow bigger and stranger, bringing in forbidden runes, exiled mages, hidden teachers, divine complications, and open conflict with larger magical authorities. Through all of it, the books stay rooted in character chemistry and momentum.
Peaches, the hellhound bound to Simon, is a major part of that appeal. He is funny, destructive, loyal, and often the least predictable presence in the room.
If you like urban fantasy that moves like a thriller, this is very much that kind of series. It has action, humor, magical lore, and a world that keeps opening outward without losing sight of the people at its center.
