~~Moved from GR~~ Unshapely Things by Mark Del Franco Connor Grey was once an incredibly powerful druid, but a work incident left him magically crippled, unable to perform the spells that gave him such high status in the fey world. Now living in Boston and working as a police consultant, Connor is...
My absolute favorite series right now is the Dresden Files, and I tend to compare any other urban fantasy type series to that. I was pleasantly surprised by this. I took me a while to get into it - I kept putting it aside to read something else, but around the 40% mark it hit me (yeah - I can be s...
I originally read this in February 2008. Upon rereading, I definitely appreciated some of the more "old school" urban fantasy elements (harking back to [a:Charles de Lint|8456|Charles de Lint|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1269735259p2/8456.jpg], [a:Emma Bull|22548|Emma Bull|http://d.gr-assets.com/a...
I immediately realized this would not be the most original urban fantasy I'd ever read - Connor Grey is more than a little reminiscent of Harry Dresden. Grey is a Druid who has lost his magic mojo and most of his high-powered magic-using friends. He consults with the police on cases involving magic,...
I loved this book. It was a little slow paced in the beginning but that was fine because del Franco set up a complex world mostly by showing rather than telling. It started as an urban fantasy police procedural and it was well done. About halfway through the real action started and I couldn't put it...

Since the crime scenes show residual magic, Boston P.D. decides to call Connor Grey, a former Guild investigator, who is now crippled of his abilities after a run-in with a radical elf. With a help from few ...
This book was so slow. Nothing really happens and you spend most time listening to Connor describe the history of the city, and him going about his daily life. When something interesting finally does happen, I felt no sense of urgency. This book could have been a short story and I for one think it...
A great first book and a series I'll definitely continue with!Connor Grey is a druid but he's lost his abilities. He's collecting a disability check from his old job but he still wants to help where he can. Connor has a good friend on the Boston police force named Murdock that he helps out from time...
Great mix of mystery and urban fantasy. Great start to a new series and I can't wait to read more. Many may not like that you are handed all the facts in one dump in regards to how the convergence of Faerie and the "real" world happened, but I enjoyed this aspect of the book. It's nice not to be ...
