Book Review of The Last Hot Time

The Last Hot Time
reviewed on


Amusing blend of 1930s-style gangster drama and urban fantasy. The boundary between our world and Elfland, closed for many years, has been reopened, bringing destruction, magic, gangland warfare and thrilling elvish power struggles to the streets of Chicago. The focus of the story is Danny, renamed Doc, a young paramedic from provincial Iowa who joins a human-elven gang led by the mysterious Mr. Patrise. Full of action and tongue-in-cheek humor, though the writing is a bit too dense at times.
