Overall: Really like nothing else I've read in urban fantasy - it is more like messy relationship angst with the supernatural as an aside. Avoid if you can't stand books that go into details of real life relationship drama but go for it if that is something you find fascinating. I hated Abra's husband Hunter. I only read about 50 pages in but later that night I had a dream about killing him. Usually I can't take angst, but it did make me think a lot and it was saved by a somewhat happy ending (and by Red Mallin's character), but it's a bumpy ride. I may wait a bit before I read book 2 - Moonburn.
