I always have a hard time categorizing Lindsay Buroker's books and that's because they continuously defy my genre expectations. I thought this would be urban fantasy, and in many ways it was. Delia and her partners Simon and Temi end up hunting a mysterious creature, and being pursued by mysterious men. But then the story takes a science fiction twist, because instead of monsters native to earth we might be dealing with monsters and men from another world. And somehow the urban fantasy and scifi meld wonderfully.As usual, Buroker creates some wonderful characters. Delia, the archeologist who carries a whip and mocks herself over it, even as she's studied to make it into something useful and practical. Temi, the retired and injured pro tennis player, who vanished from Delia's life when they were young and who might now have a chance to change her entire life. And Simon, wearing socks with his sandals, and inventing amazing technology even as he photographs monsters to drive traffic to their website. And, being a Lindsay Buroker story, they're a team and found family, and I can only hope more people show up to join them. (Like maybe the man from the cave? Or one of the other men?)I'm hooked already. I'll be there for the next book--and hopefully many others.
