Great mix of procedural and urban fantasy. Perhaps a little heavier on the fantasy than it needed to be, but that’s not really a knock. Some interesting characters–some that need a lot more fleshing out in future installments–a heckuva magic system, a great world, good locale in that world and a strong protagonist. Pretty much all you can want.

I really, really, really didn’t need the level of detail Rowland gives about the relations between Kara and the demon. That aside, a heckuva read.

Looking forward to more.
