Review: men, mystery and magic

This was an interesting book. There was a passel of men throughout a la Laurell K Hamilton and an overpowered magic user who describers her powers to herself and you, like Lilith Saintcrow. It got a little old by the end of the book. And I wanted a bit more decisiveness to the theme of the story. There's no sex, despite the harem, but the attraction was prevalent while the mystery raged on. I like a good urban fantasy with the bit of romance and a lot of mystery. But I was left a little hanging after all the lusty build up. I liked Raven, she was interesting and had legitimate struggles. I really enjoyed the mystery and watching the pieces fall together. There were several scenes which were poorly executed, it involved me flipping back several pages to discern where the people were since they suddenly were another place. I think those spots needed to be re-written since the turn of events was so convoluted.~Man-candy list~Ryland: Vampire (he's got my vote)Durant: were-tiger (his rushed involvement is weird)Taggert: were-wolf (can't shift, but slave boy is growing fast)Jackson: were-wolf (why he was called an Ogre initially, I don't know)Dominic: were-something (maybe too old?)London: were-bear (oooh, the security expert)
