I listened to the audio version of this book. I enjoyed this narrator and thought she did an excellent job. This book is an urban fantasy and it's the first in a new series by Kim Harrison. Some of the plot reminded me of one of the books in her Hollows series. I don't want to elaborate as it could be considered on the spoiler side.
In my opinion, this book has only a hint of romance, great for people who don't want a big romantic side plot. If you want an action-oriented story featuring a heroine who thinks she has little agency at the beginning and then begins a story arc where she grows into her own, grab this book.
Kim Harrison is a lovely writer and some of her sentences are poetry. When I read her books, I always get a sense of light melancholy and this book is no exception. Maybe it's because Petra has lost her parents before we met her.
My rating for this book is 4.5. The book is slow building so if you pick it up be patient. It's worth it and I am looking forward to Petra Grady's future adventures!
Saturday was Independent Book Store Day. Did you go out and shop? Or order online? I picked up these books!
