In the aftermath of Zero Sum Game, Cas and her associates are seeing the fallout from taking down those telepaths who've been reigning in expressions of human corruption, and it's not pretty. So, she takes it upon herself (with a little help from her friends) to fight crime in LA -- à la that rich g...
"I'm really good at math," I said. Too good. "That's all." I'm not sure how many times I stopped reading this book to ask, "What did I just read?" Not because I'm too dense to comprehend the words on the pages, but Huang's work was so audacious, so confident, so imaginative that i couldn't believe i...

I should stop claiming to like urban fantasy, and maybe start instead asking for recommendations for female lead super-human splatterpunk thrillers. That ...
If all self published books were as tightly written and edited as Zero Sum Game, I’d fill my kindle with SPAs. This was a great thriller with some very interesting characters.
