Do you enjoy books set in alternative, supernatural worlds similar to our own?  How about science fiction?  Police dramas?  Kick-ass heroines? If you answered yes to any of these questions, it's likely that you will enjoy this book!  It is set in the near future, in a world where you are as likely to encounter werewolves as you are poorly-maintained service robots. I really appreciated the fact that the author just throws you into this world without a lot of world-building back-story. You are just racing along, learning as you go, which seems fair because the main character, Chris, is also learning as she unravels an interesting mystery and her own life-changing experiences. The lack of 'human' rights non-humans endure also felt very credible to me. Overall, it is excellent!I only have two small complaints- one, there is a romantic interest that could be explored a bit more (and probably will be in the next book.) Honestly, my dear Mr. Cooper, if your audience can handle this much gore, our sensibilities are certainly not too Victorian to read a long-anticipated sex scene. It would be a nice break from the violence. My only other complaint is that I don't know when the next in the series will be available!  I want to read it now!
