Good book. Started off slow and the writing was weak at first. Took too long to figure out the main character was male. By the end i loved it.

Katharine is a judge for the Aurealis Awards. This entry is the personal opinion of Katharine herself, and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of any judging panel, the judging coordinator or the Aurealis Awards management team.

To be safe, I won't be recording my thoughts (if I choose to) here until after the AA are over.

New to me author. This book was a paranormal/urban fantasy set in Queensland Australia. Main character was Matt Hawkins a slayer of other world beings. Complex twists and turns in this book with many smaller characters. I read more from this author.

This ebook is still free on amazon, and certainly worth your time as far as value goes. I gave it a try because I've enjoyed the author's Death and the Devil series. This is quite different in that it is not a romance. It is very much a paranormal mystery in several senses of 'mystery'; I read the last dozen chapters last night and today, needing to know what happens. As befits a good start to a trilogy, I'm satisfied with where this novel ends, yet intrigued enough to continue reading the next one (soon). 

I admire the writer's choices for this novel. Our MC, the Night Call berserker, is in first person, but the Private Investigator POV is in third. I laughed when I realized it, because it worked well so well for me that I only realized it belatedly.
