Read this book then stop. The next book is bad. The one after is worse.
Jack is a muscle bound fit and active drug addict. He barely has enough money to live on but apparently has enough money to jet off half way across the world. Pete is a CHAV who is involved with the police who can also jet off across the world on a moments notice. The pair spend half the book investigating one case only to abandon it when something more important comes allong.
OK, that sounds like a really bad book, and for the most part it is badly written characters doing dumb things. For this book though it seems to work.

Find this series,unique and enjoyable.
Really enjoy the by-play between the characters. Kittredge has a sassy way with words that spice up even unhappy events. My only complaint is if Jack left me stranded in as many dangerous places as he has Pete, I would anialate him. Not cool. Both have such wounded psychies that it makes them even more interesting. I do like Jacks seat of the pants magics which can either help or hinder. Fabulous world building.
