Even more urban than the other modern faerie tales. I found it to drag at different points. Val was a fine MC, and Luis is cool (and knowing about Luis is useful for Ironside), but none of the characters really spoke to me.

Another book that has a cool premise, but I mainly enjoyed as a means of getting more world building.
