It is thrilling, suspenseful and has a really unique spin. This urban fantasy has a good amount of spookiness and mystery, while also being full of heart and emotion. I loved the internal and external conflicts that she is facing while trying to deal with trying to maintain a day job and supernatural experiences and trials. I think this book is so well done and I cannot wait to read what the author writes next. Their perspective and ideas seem to be very refreshing.

I thought the supernatural system was very interesting and I loved the cultural elements along with the magic system created for the book. Having the juxtaposition of our two main characters across multiple facets of their lives worked really well in how everything was eventually tied together. 

Although this was an urban fantasy I found a lot of the writing more similar to some literary fiction, and not falling into some of the repetitive traps I see in urban fantasies.
