I read Carrie Vaughn's blog entries on Genreality and decided to give her urban fantasy novel a try. I've been a little burned out on urban fantasy of late and have been reading a lot of horror instead. But I have heard a lot of good things about this series, so I grabbed up the first novel.

Finished the book in one night. ...more

Shelves: read-in-2010, pnr-uf-fantasy, first-in-series

It started out interesting but I wasn't real fond of the main character. As the story progressed, I could see her growth and she grew on me as well. I figured out the identity of the big bad ~~wolf~~ about three chapters before the protagonist did. It's a series and I'm happy to read the next book. ...more
