Listen, I saw the cover of book 1 and 2 (2 has a gun), I saw the title. And I was expecting the typical Urban Fantasy story.
But.. it wasn't. The MC isn't in the military. The MC isn't kicking ass or investigating anything.
.. The MC is literally a recruiter. (yes I missed that part of the name)
And I kind of loved it. It was very slice of life. It was a human getting thrown into the supernatural world and getting steeped in it. There is a little more action in book 2 than in book 1, but the MC is still a non-combatant. Her being curious about some monsters and accidentally getting into a fight (where she did literal nothing but scream) didn't change the narrative to suddenly "I'm going to solve this!"
Nah, Julie went back to paperwork and asking people if they'd like to join the Para-Military (which is both police, government, and military)
A slight annoyance is that there is multiple potential love interests in the story, (I'm counting 3), and they all do tiny hints that something COULD happen. But the hints are TINY and they never get bigger. It's.. annoying because it's giving me the vibes of potential romance without ever taking the next step, but it's too hinty for you to be secure enough to say that will be an non-romance urban fantasy. (I know they exist with male MCs, but I've never really encountered it with female ones)
