This was a great urban fantasy. The world Gustainis creates is very near our own but witches and curses are real. So are vampires and werewolves and zombies. The world was well-drawn and very realistic. Quincy Morris is a descendant of one of the people who killed Dracula. His family has been huntin...

Genre: Urban FantasyThe first 20 to 30 pages of this book were an utter fail for me. The potential was there, but the book kept jumping around all willy-nilly.

I loved this urban fantasy version of the hard-boiled detective story. The writing was compelling. I was constantly reading portions to a friend who was visiting. Stan was a remarkable character. His voice was pitch perfect. He is the dedicated, hard-working cop who is determined to keep Scranton sa...

Original review posted over at Book Lovers IncI always say that you should try all kinds of genres and books that are out there, but do I follow it? Not really and that is why I wanted to try this book. It is urban fantasy but not the kind I am used to. No kick-ass woman in leather and sexual tensio...
