Urban fantasy series opener, featuring a detective who is "sensitive" to the magic of others, and her destined love interest, a werewolf. The thing that makes this one interesting is that, in a twist on the "fated romance" element, our heroine isn't so sure she wants to go along with fate. The fact that she is conflicted and exercises some semblance of free will in the budding relationship elevates the storytelling.

I will definitely be reading book 2!
This author runs warm and luke-warm. Sometimes her writing is evocative. Other times she leaves out all the details that would make her story great rather than so-so. I put the book down some months ago and wasn't inspired to pick it back up until I misplaced the novel I was tied up with and it was the closest thing to my bedside table. I finished it when I couldn't sleep tonight and was ... disappointed. The makings of a good story are there, but she doesn't DO anything with them.

Slow starting, but builds up once you get past the first few chapters. Really like the setting, reminds me a bit of Patricia Briggs and Kelley Armstrong.
