Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton will love this book. This story was amazing. It grasped me in it’s clutches from the first page and didn’t let go until I had read the last page. The protagonist is a woman named Rune Alexander. In one word, she’s a badass. At first glance, she’s a tough as nails, strong, independent woman. Then you find out that she’s in an abusive relationship and it really makes you wonder why. She may be strong, but she has some dark monsters that she feels she has to be punished for. Rune runs the Shiv Crew, their motto is to protect humans from the Others; vampires, werewolves, ghouls, etc. The whole crew was pretty amazing, including Ellie, Rune’s gay best friend. He provided some comic relief in the midst of a pretty dark book. The antagonists are a group of “Dark Others”, paranormals that are rogue, and Church of Slayers (COS). COS seems like a pretty bad group, but I can’t wait to see what kind of trouble they stir up for Rune and the gang in the next book. All in all, I thought this book was pretty amazing.
