I was new to this series and found it via a "buy the whole series" deal on Nook. I am glad I did! The story is fantastic, the characters well-crafted, and both fit together beautifully. I would highly recommend to any fan of urban fantasy reading both of these books, especially if you can get them together: no waiting to see what will happen next! I even upgraded my rating to five stars. :^D
