This was urban fantasy. I am not a big fan of urban fantasy.

The word that came to mind after I was done reading was "guttural". If fantasy is like water, this was stagnant pond water. It was brilliantly written, well executed, in literary terms. The author was able to set the mood exactly with the word and phrases she used.

But. There was so much profanity and so many obscenities that I felt like I had been standing in an open sewer.

So between the darkness and the assault of profanity, I won't be recommending this book to anyone.
