Let me be clear about this. I enjoyed this book. I looked forward to the second book. I am looking forward to the rest of the books.

However this book is not a keeper. I am a fan of the urban fantasy genre. I loved Danny Valentine, and I bought her as a necromance. I loved the EARLY Anita Blake and I bought her as a executioner et al. I love the Otherworld series.

For some reason, this 'superhero' thing really throws me. It's all put down in comic books beamed into some nerds head? Really?! (I love graphic novels too, so the bias isn't there either!) At one point I just started thinking please let them stop saying the word SUPERHERO. They're all suspicious and cranky and petty. They do mean things to each other and that's the good side. I just wish it was all explained in some other way. Superheroes indeed. It just seemed kid-like to me.

So, all that being said: if you like the urban fantasy genre then read this series by all means. If you're new to it, start with something else. Then come back and read these.
