"★★★★½ -- Quick reaction: This book was a riot. The snark humor and the tone and the dark situations kind of reminded me of <i>Buffy: The Vampire Slayer</i>, which to me is a very good thing."
"Full of witty characters that remain likeable and enjoyable to follow without falling into the odd pit of seeming too perfect to feel real. The main character, Sam, remains snarky and sick of the fresh supernatural happenings in his life while maintaining a desire to survive that naturally pushes the plot forward and allows him, and the reader, to learn about the new world of supernatural beings. Smart dialogue and natural-feeling world building keeps the story from stagnating in its slower moments and a menacing villain keeps it engaging in its faster ones. Overall, this is a cleanly told story with likable yet realistic characters, wit, modern magic, a plot that moves along, and a chilly touch of death to ensure that things stay interesting."
