"Using her magic to help others is the only way Alex Black knows how to stay out of trouble herself. After years of living on the street and trying to come to terms with her growing ability, she had to teach herself to control. Now shes happy to have settled into the relatively quiet life of finding lost pets, crafting the odd charm, and helping people deal with annoying fae creatures and spirits. But when Alex is asked to investigate the gruesome murder of an artifact dealer whod lost his life trying to protect his latest acquisition, shes thrown headlong into a world of danger that threatens to cut her career short at every turn. The closer she gets to tracking down the killer, the more dangerous the trail becomes, and the more Alex realises that terrible things will happen if the true potential of the artifact is ever unleashed." -- Provided by publisher.Fan Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

And like in the Dresden Files, nobody's safe. Death comes unexpectedly and early, and Alex herself (like Harry) takes a beating.
Her sidekick, however, is about as far from Lt. Karrin Murphy as it is possible to be.
So, yes, it is very, very reminiscent of Jim Butcher's series. But, fortunately, the writing carries it off. In fact, the only reason I gave this four stars instead of five was a smidgen of disappointment in the climax; the buildup was excellent, but I thought it fizzled a bit.
All in all, though, I had a great time with this – and I just bought the second book. (They're now being published under the pseudonym Alexis Blakely.) Looking forward to it!
