really it's a 3.5 star review, but as you all know, we can't do half stars on here (for shame!). Robyn, the protagonist, interacts regularly with the paranormal world - it's her job. We meet her outrunning a werewolf client after her invited shaman doesn't show up. But the paranormal isn't just Rob's job, she also lives with a ghost whom she's known since she was five. For some reason we're told and often reminded of Robyn's ancestry, though it doesn't ever much come into play.The beginning has enough happen to keep you turning the pages, but seems to be stuck when coming to getting through those downtimes. Then, during a scene of exposition, if you've been paying attention you'll have figured the connection and just have to wait for the characters to catch up. In a great action scene, everything begins to come together for the characters and the story - about 70% of the reading I had a hard time remaining engaged, but after that point, it is just go.go.go.go. That works for most of it, but there did seem to be some unanswered or resolved issues that were dumped into the lake, not simply swept under the rug.With all of the many things going on in SF, I was pleased/surprised/excited/impressed that the author tied up all the threads and strings of the stories and each character..... and it all came together. without there being a *wink wink* at you that these characters could - probably should and will - be found in a sequel.random note ;;; this has been added to my list of books where the main character (especially those of the feminine persuasion) are as complex and kick ass completely, and won't hesitate to put yours down
