This is the first book in the Boundary Magic trilogy by Olson. I have had this urban fantasy on my TBR pile for a while and I am happy I finally picked it up to read. This was a very enjoyable read about a ex-military woman who is trying to eke out a living working at a convenience store. Everything changes for her the night she intercepts a kidnapping and finds out that she's not as human as she thought she was.

I listened to this on audiobook and thought it was well done. It's one I would recommend listening to if you are a fan of audiobooks.

I really enjoyed the heroine in this book. She is struggling with some PTSD and trying to make it in the "normal" world. I loved that she had so many fears and doubts but constantly strove to work through them and do what was right. She also has a good sense of humor and is very dedicated to her family throughout.

Some of this book is very typical investigative urban fantasy: there are werewolves, witches, and vampires and our heroine runs herself ragged. However these more typical elements were nicely offset by a heroine with a unique background and a supportive extended family.

Overall I really enjoyed this. While it wasn't the best urban fantasy series I've ever read, it is well written and engaging and has some unique elements to it. I plan on continuing with the series.
