This was a fun and well written urban fantasy novel. The book is actually a stand alone, the very end introduces another Baba Yaga who will be featured in book 2. This book was more UF than PNR, but the format reminds of a lot of PNR out there (each book featuring a different couple).

I enjoyed it and thought it was an easy read. It is pretty standard investigative urban fantasy. I enjoyed the characters and really loved the Four Riders that come to Baba Yaga's aid.

Baba Yaga's magic isn't very well explained; she seems to have kind of limitless power but she doesn't really use it that way. It would be awesome to have a Baby Yaga's power source explained more in future books. I did enjoy Baba Yaga's stents into the Otherworld and would love to see more of the Otherworld in future books as well.

Even though this book appears to stand alone I am hoping we get to see more of this Baba Yaga and her ward in future books.

Overall I would recommend if you are an urban fantasy fan and like books that concentrate on magic, fae, and investigative elements. This is a decent book that is well written and entertaining. I ended up enjoying it. I'll probably read the next couple books in the series.
