I just finished the first book by Rob Thurman. It is okay as an urban fantasy book but gets boring quickly. The main character Cal is underdeveloped and is partnered with his aggresive brother Niko who focuses on protecting his brother Cal from the dangerous Elves.

The only interesting part of the book was the spin put on the other world characters, who mostly were presented as dangerous and evil.

Overall, this book was a good read if you are bored. But otherwise it is quickly forgotten as with the rest of the books in the series. It doesn’t stand well when compared to other urban fantasy books such as Karen Chance.

Rating: 3/5…a good read if you have nothing else on a rainy day.
