Helpful Score: 3

I was so disappointed by this! I loved the Walker (Urban Shaman) series by the same author, but this was just not good at all. The book has a mildly interesting premise (which, except for the occasional cellphone or vampire, might have been lifted from that old Beauty and the Beast TV show of the 1980s) but the characters are cardboard, the dialog is stilted and the attempt to evoke an NYC setting is a total failure. It's hard to believe this is by the same author. I'm actually wondering if this was an older manuscript that somehow made it into print because the Walker series did reasonably well.
