I had not heard of the “urban fantasy” genre before reading this, but I really enjoyed it. I was very entertained and found myself laughing often at the clever scenes with faerie an human. I considered giving this 4 stars, but I was a little disappointed with how the story concluded in regards to (#1) some of the final acts taken by Eddi's counterpart, Stuart. I mean really, who brings a gun to a faerie fight? and (#2) there was a reasonable amount said by the Phouka about Eddi's future within faerie... and.. then... nothing... Maybe there's another book where this happens, but there should have been something more to it in this one. I though the conclusion was somewhat abrupt, that I deserved a better ending, and the author had demonstrated they were capable of providing one. I think I will try an read more of this genre, and something else from this author.
