I had the pleasure of picking up this novel at a small science fiction convention directly from the author. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the way the story was crafted. It drew me right in. The author created an interesting believable world by dropping bits and pieces of explanation throughout the story instead of a long exposition, which I appreciated. The characters felt like whole people and I cared what happened to them, and not just the 2 perspective characters. The story felt well paced, exciting, and had some nice twists. I highly recommend fans of urban fantasy give this book a shot and support an independent author.
