Resumen del Editor

Sam Flint lives in a world of monsters and magic, and as a quasi-immortal, he is King. Well, King of a hole in the wall apartment infested with more rats than the politicians shiny offices up in Standard Heights. The life of a private eye in Necrotown isn't glamorous, but Sam has all he as ever wanted wrapped up in the sexy embrace of his kitsune wife, Fox.

Unfortunately, landlords and rent wait for no man and Sam needs to get paid fast. When big bellied and bigger pocketed Lloyd Burgess hires Sam for a quick snatch and grab of his wayward daughter, Sam is all in. Easy, grab the girl, deliver her back to her gilded cage, pay rent, and buy mama some new shoes with whatever is left. The girl, Sarah, turns out to be deadlier than Sam was bargaining for. Sam is left with two choices, and the wrong decision will put him in the ground for good.

Gritty Fantasy

I got this book from a promotion and had no idea what it was going to be like. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The story drops you into a world different than ours but it isn’t an origin type story. You learn about characters midway through their lives as opposed to being introduced when they discover powers or something like that. I appreciate that type of storytelling but others may feel differently. It probably rates less than a 5 but more than a 4. Since it is the first book I will lean towards 5. The story isn’t really long but it is a complete story. I don’t know if there are plans to make more books in this world but if so I would continue to read them.
