This book is characterized as urban fantasy romance and that would be correct. It kept my interest once it got going but I was very close to shelving it until the character of Michael was introduced. It starts off promising, but the introduction of Flynn didn't intrigue me as much as Michael did.

There is a very interesting cast of characters and it's set in a world that mirrors ours but with a paranormal twist. I liked how the author made bad guys have redeeming characteristics and vice versa. Our heroine was hardly a saint herself. People need to be flawed and the author did a good job bringing that together. Cass couldn't save everyone and she didn't apologize for her methods of finding children and dispensing justice--despite the presence of a cop in her life.

The author introduced pets/familiars that the heroine had that I was initially turned off by but found myself really enjoying their place in the story. Being an animal lover myself I became as attached to those characters as I did the human ones.

It's a very good story that I enjoyed very much but I admit the blurb in the back of the book for the next installment didn't interest me enough to even bother finishing it. I sense that the story of Cass, Flynn, Abby, Michael and Dacardi is finished. I hope I'm wrong because I think those characters deserve more "air time."
