* AuthorCatchPhrase: In all three of his urban fantasy series, he uses variations on "Needs must, when the devil drives" and "Suddenly and messily." And when we say variations on the first one, we mean he's gotten [[UnusualEuphemism pretty damn creative.]] Also, he ''loves'' to have his characters to use their over-the-top reputations to intimidate their foes.

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: While characters from his three UrbanFantasy series (Nightside, Secret Histories, Ghost Finders) have had a few crossover cameos, and numerous back-and-forth references are name-dropped, each series still has to solve its own problems. Thus, we don't see Droods participating in the Lilith War or hunting the Flesh Undying, or John Taylor dropping by to Find ghosts with his Gift. Justified, as the Droods are barred by ancient pact (that doesn't stop a couple from popping in now and then, but they know better than to armor up) and John Taylor has a ''lot'' on his hands [[spoiler: especially after ending up with Walker's job]].
