Not bad but getting increasingly confusing as more players get added into the mix. Concept is as strong as ever though:-)
It's not often I feel the need to weigh in with words on a book but this series, and this book in particular are just too good not to. I've been following Mark Del Franco since his first Connor Grey book in 2007 and since then it has only gotten better.
Now to start with this one, the city is in a pretty rough state when the book opens. After the turbulence in the last book, Unfallen Dead fae and human relations are at an all time low. And things don't seem to be looking up. The Murdock family dirty is brought out to air, Bergen Vize makes an appearance, Connor gets to know a bit more about his friendly tumor, and the action just builds. It seems like though this is the first time that Del Franco is trying to rebuild what's been broken, the first step in keep Boston from Imploding.
If you haven't picked up any novels in the series yet be sure to start at the beginning so you can get a good understanding, because while there is a good job of describing things in a way that can be repeated and informative there is only so much an author can do without spending half a book recapping.
