An entertaining cozy fantasy mystery.
HOWEVER, the copy editor should hang their head in shame. The book is littered with misspellings, sentence fragments, and run-on sentences. This is Editing 101 stuff. I hope Painter got someone else to edit her second book in the series.

My Thoughts:
I bought this book when I was looking for an urban fantasy book to read during a spate of crime fiction reads and I realised that I was supposed to be an urban fantasy fan! I came across this. Listened to the audiobook sample. Liked it and bought it. However, once I started listening/reading this book, it took a bit of perseverance to get into the story even with the convenience of the audiobook format... I am not sure if it is the story telling quality or if it was me having a reading slump of some sort or BRMP (book reading mood phenomenon)... So, no, not a page-turner.

There wasn't much of a plot either. But then again this is urban fantasy even if it is kinda sort of crime fiction at the same time. Urban fantasy books are not known for their plot building. By urban fantasy standards, the story actually has a plot!

This is my first Kate Rawson listen and I like the way she reads. Would buy audiobook by her again.


Quantitative Evaluation:
Story telling quality = 4
Character development = 4
Story itself = 4
Writing Style = 4
Ending = 4
World building = 4.5
Cover art = 3.5
Pace = (6 hrs and 50 mins listening time)
Plot = 3
Narration = 4.5

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5

These are great. A very interesting world to just slide into and lose yourself in.
