I loved this book. It was a little slow paced in the beginning but that was fine because del Franco set up a complex world mostly by showing rather than telling.

Jim Butcher got me into this kind of book, detectives in a supernatural world. This series just improves as it goes on, and all the books are enjoyable reading
