On the Edge by Ilona Andrews - weird fiction/new weird: Imagine that your home exists between two dimensions, on the edge so to speak. On one side of your home is the world as we know it. On the other is a world where magic is an everyday occurrence for its citizens. While you are not accepted into either world your home in the edge is all you have and now it has become threatened by beasts known as the hounds who are killing those who live in the edge. Those who live in the edge have some magical abilities. The hounds are killing to absorb their magic. Comes a stranger from the magical side who can protect you and your brothers. The problem is that he wants you and is using you to locate the hounds and their origin to destroy the threat. Can the love this stranger offers be genuine? Can he help citizens of the edge destroy the threat to their home? Will the citizens accept the help of this stranger? This innovative tale is exciting and creative and the tale flows so well that I ordered the second book in the series.
