With fascinating main characters. Unfortunately the paranoid conspiracy stuff in the end diminished it a bit. Still, a very good read - different from the author's normal work (more SciFi, UF stuff).

Few years ago, I read Sonya Bateman's "Gavyn Donatti" urban fantasy series (Master of None and Master and Apprentice) and I really enjoyed it. So I was bummed when I discovered that the series didn't continue -- probably the publisher decided that it wasn't selling enough? Then I found out that she ...
