Although it took me a little time to connect to, this book is fantastic. The writing, world-building, and character development are incredibly clever, and it really gains momentum as you get into it. It's very engrossing in both concept and style. Can't wait for the sequel!

Supernatural sanitation company. I was wandering around the Rose City Comic Con looking for a friend of mine when I stopped at the booths where authors were selling their books. The author of this book came up to me and asked if I liked fantasy. I told him that I did, but I that I was also interested in trying something new. He took out this book and as soon as he said that the book was about a supernatural sanitation company, I was immediately sold. It was so different and such a switch from what I usually read, that I immediately bought the book. This book is exactly what I have been looking for and much more. Who can resist a story involving an old magical janitor who has to train a young college student who can't stand anything unclean and just found out she has powers? It's genius! So many twists and turns! I love how I couldn't predict how it would end or how the problems would be resolved. I could completely see this becoming a popular TV series(if done correctly and not deviate from the book, of course). I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel! Thank you Josh Vogt for not only creating and writing this book but for being so approachable and nice at Comic Con.

I met Josh Vogt at this year's ECCC. I was walking past him and he said, "hey what do you like to read?" and I was like PANIC! I LIKE LOTS OF STUFFS! But I think I mumbled, "fantasy." He proceeded to tell me about these characters, who clean up supernatural messes and it's funny, but dramatic, and action packed! And I was like, carrying my weight in comics and books already, so I promised him I'd get his ebook and here we are. Cool story, right?
I liked a lot of things in this first story of The Cleaners - the world building was pretty cool. The different types of magic were interesting. I think the hardest part was Dani's paranoia about catching things was starting to make me itch and wonder what things I could be contracting every day, shaking people's hands and riding so closely on public transportation. I mean, should I get some gloves?
Promising start. Will probably read the next one.
