Dying Is My Business by Nicholas Kaufmann

5.0

Loved this book! It was the first urban fantasy I'd read in a while, and I was instantly immersed. The world building is subtle at first but grows into something stronger, and I was super happy to see gargoyles being used in a creative manner. The visuals Kaufmann described were stellar, especially with the enemies, which made the plentiful action scenes all the more visceral and real. The characters were great. I absolutely love Trent. He's a tough guy, but he's also vulnerable and kind, in addition to be the unluckiest guy in the world. The action scenes were awesome and all led to an insane final battle. While some of the twists were predictable, there was a lot of tension and still some mystery to carry the series, particularly at the end. The storyline was linear, which made it easy to understand and enjoy. I really loved how different and unique this story was to the urban fantasy genre and am eager to see where Trent's story goes next. Such a fun book, I highly recommend it!
