If you like urban fantasy or paranormal romance then this would be a good read. Ever read a book that is a little above the bar or one that is a little below the bar? Well this is the bar. This is the book that defines average for the genre. It isn't bad, but it isn't fantastic either. Read it. Enjoy it. Move on to another book.

Kittredge is a highly creative author who can write spectacular characters. She puts those characters in her Noctourne City books. The characters she puts in this book are just sort of there. Honestly that's the weakest part of the book, but you don't end up hating them. They're believable characters, but then so is my next door neighbor, and I'm not particularly interested in reading about his life.

The setting defines generic for urban fantasy. There is magic in the world, but not a heck of a lot of it. Never the less it will kick you in the teeth if you refuse to see it. This is a good thing for this book book though. I like the generic urban fantasy setting.

Now, about that cover. What I think happened is that the company told the artist that there was a man and a woman in London and that one was a physically fit cop and the other was a strung out heroine addict with a talent for magic. Then realizing the mistake they erased the gun from the "cop" and put a little magic glow in its place.
