Really enjoyed Margaret Ronald's writing. Can't wait for series to continue. This is a different urban fantasy with characters that I have come to care about what happens to them.
Admittedly, I accidentally came into this series midway through. Sometimes ebooks aren't so clear on when a book is a part of a series. This did put me at a bit of a disadvantage when it came to getting into the story, as it took a while for Roland to explain or even mention past occurrences. That said, once I got into it, I did discover it's not quite my cup of tea. The magical part of Boston (The Undercurrent) is far more complex than it needs to be, and, as a Bostonian, it doesn't make sense to me as something that would work under the surface of my city. Further, I just don't get what's so cool about Evie's paranormal power of being "The Hound." It's all kind of gross to me. Add onto it that I just find Evie to be rather dull, and I won't be going back to catch up with the series or read any further. I do see why it would appeal to bigger fans of urban fantasy, though, and I appreciate that the setting is a northern one instead of the more typical southern ones. For that reason, I do recommend it to fans of urban fantasy looking for something a bit different.
