Supernatural military thriller: what Edgar Rice Burroughs might be writing if he were around now. If you're happy suspending belief for the sake of a good yarn, it's the first of a several-book series.

Fantasy-set police procedural with a shy and badass heroine -- interesting combo, well-written.

Satisfying story, moves our heroine on well, without 'skipping ahead' so far she's disconnected. Some scenes stolen by Slapper the pigeon and Achoo the police dog.
