SO LET'S TALK ABOUT URBAN FANTASY DONE RIGHT.

- Awesome main character who is equal amounts of bad ass, funny, relatable and easy to fall in love with? Check.
- Sidekick solely there for comic relief that is actually funny? Check.
- Romance/sex that doesn't disrupt the forward thrust (I couldn't resist) of the plot? Check
- A plot that is actually entertaining? Check.
- A truly formidable enemy? Check.
- All the various supernatural elements you can stomach without seeming to go overboard? Check.

I'm sure there are other points, but those are the things I love most in my urban fantasy, and when even one of these isn't done right, the book doesn't work for me. Atticus O'Sullivan TOTALLY WORKED FOR ME in more ways than one. I kinda want him to be real, or at least to be made a TV show so Richard Madden can play him in all his delicious red-headed Irish glory.



I have standards. They're just very simple.

On my way to the next book ASAP.
