When Among Crows

Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for providing an advance audio copy for review.  All opinions expressed are strictly my own.Dymitr is a Knight of the Holy Order, sworn to hunt the monsters that prey on humans.  He comes to Chicago and meets Ala, a zmora, cursed to a life of fear, pain, asnd an early death.  He offers her a cure in exchange for her help finding Baba Jaga.  Niko is a rare male strzygon who gets pulled into their quest along the way.  

Set in Chicago and drawing heavily from Polish folklore, this novella tells a story og grief and loss, guilt and redemption.  I loved all three main characters and the story itself.  The folklore that weaves through the story was unfamiliar to me, but I was given enough info to understand what was happening.  The narrators were excellent in bringing the story to life.  This tale will live with me for a very long time, and I suspect i will reread it more than once or twice.
