Such a rich story, and I can't wait for the sequel! I almost wish I had done some research ahead of reading and waited until the sequel had been released—don't want to wait another six months! I was totally hooked on the world and the mystery at the center of the book, and the more I learned of Alex's backstory, the more I came to care for her. Highly recommend for fans of urban fantasy and gritty murder mysteries.
