All Out of Leeds

DI Adams, Book 2

By: Kim M. Watt

Narrated by: Jane Ajia

DI Adams fled London to escape bridge-dwelling monsters and magical toasties - a one-time experience she's in no hurry to repeat. She's police, not some cryptid hunter. Leeds has other plans, though.

Tasked with the seemingly mundane case of a missing necklace, Adams soon realises she's stumbled into something inexplicable. The trinket is dangerous, and she's the only one who recognises it for what it is - a weapon that could tear the North apart.

Juggling unhelpful colleagues, amnesiac witnesses, and problematic women of a certain age, Adams plunges into the treacherous, magic-soaked streets of Leeds. She may not have backup, but at least she has the invisible, caffeine-addicted dog by her side. Plus a duck. And a very big stick. She's got this. She has to. Because there's no one else who can. . .

I love ALL Kim M Watts books!

it's always such a treat and a joy to see a new one I get so excited

Consistent and good

Takes a new path through urban fantasy where the protagonist only gets the whole picture in the end.

great story, meh narration

I love Watt's writing, I just wish that the narrator had pre-read the book. She seemed to be stumbling through the narrative for the entire story.

A good follow-up

I enjoyed this urban fantasy mystery novel, it makes a great sequel. I like these books better than the author's others. while not including in your face battle magic like the Benedict Jacka Fated series, it does have a lot of magical elements subtly introduced, with a slow build.

while the narrator was well chosen for this character, she has some weird enunciations, with accents on the wrong syllable or emphasis on the wrong word, and her reading speed changes from really slow reading or slow enunciating, to very fast with the words jumbled together. hard to get a consistent play speed selected.

I'm looking forward to a third book, if there is one.

DI Adams accepts who she is

I loved the fact that Scott knew how to turn all lawyer like when all the folk saw them
