Not bad but not interesting enough to keep me goin All in all, I consider this a good, solid debut novel in the Jane Yellowrock series, and I look forward to reading more. For those who are tired of the violent and/or explicit sex that's so prevalent in urban fantasy, you'll find this book a nice change. The dialogue is kind of stilted in places, and a significant portion of the book is written from the POV of her cat-spirit, which takes a bit of getting used to. There are a few weak points concerning the writing another reviewer mentioned that the writer points out her own jokes fairly often, and this really IS kind of annoying. It's very nice to read a story in which the heroine isn't complaining endlessly about her life, or gnashing her teeth over how to make some preternatural being fall in love with her. This book makes an exceptionally nice change from others in this genre, mainly because the protagonist is a strong, independent woman who actually likes herself, and is comfortable with her lot in life.
