Tate is a metal sculpture artist who is asked to leave her apartment due the noise her welding etc makes. Glad to leave there and her cheating boyfriend she is tempted by cheap rent at an room for rent in Golgotham, the lost borough of NYC where all the mystical races and people live.
Things are going well in her new place, she learns a lot about the people of Golgotham. One night she is chased into the garden by a were-cougar, her landlord (Hexe) decides to save him. Evidently he has been drugged, maimed and forced to fight. Hexe only practices Right Hand Magic (healing and defense) instead of Left Hand or mixing the two. Soon the Mafia comes looking for Lukas, whose actually a nice 16 year old boy and a were-cougar. The poop hits the fan when Lukas is kidnapped back during Tate's big art show. The action goes from there.
I liked this book, I really did. The author has created a whole new world and mythology which is really awesome! But the first half and a little more of the book was SO SLOW! If I hadn't been interested in the backgrounds and descriptions I would have put it down. The author also pulls a bit of a Twilight on you, describing all the boys down to their scuffed Chuck Taylors but leaving us with only an impression that Tate is hot and has tattoos. So my imagination just popped in the cover gal and there you go. The end of the book has closure, but there are some ends left to explore in other books. I'll pick them up, I just hope we get some more action.
