This was miles away from anything I've ever read before. It was urban fantasy at its grittiest and darkest. Dante is a fascinating character, so damaged...Phoenix did a great job constructing him, he will easily be able to hold up a series as long as she wants him to. Heather was also a good character, lots of room for growth with her.So anyway...the plot was interesting, the characters all layered and dark...I'm very interested to see where she takes it next.
