Helpful Score: 5


This was such a great exploration of the urban fantasy genre. I like it because it's mostly a really interesting detective story. The fantasy parts are important, but still secondary. Also Gwen is a great character. She's not a smart-a$$, she's just someone who's had a lot of pain and suffering in her life, but she's doing the best she can, emotionally speaking. Maybe, it's just that there's no self-aware smugness. She's obviously very attractive and can take care of herself, but she doesn't obsess over her relationships. Her life is just happening, she's not talking about it. I liked her, therefore, I liked the book.
