I started this with some misgivings. The pacing at first was really off, to the point I was worried this series had already hit its high point. Luckily, after some drawn out relationship drama between Simon and Jane, things get more paranormal and interesting as the main plot takes over. Some real interesting infusion of mythology in here. The ending did feel super abrupt, however, but during the climatic battle it was nice to see Jane take such charge of things. It's always refreshing to see an author allow the female love interest to have more of a purpose than to spur the male lead into action. I still wish there'd been more development at the end, as things are a bit cliffhanger ish, especially with how much the beginning of the book felt like some filler. Looking forward to the next. I'm really enjoying this series. Simon Canderous, a former thief, is now working for an agency called Department of Extraordinary Affairs. He has the gift of psychometry. You'd think a gift like that would be kind of cool. But, as this series shows, a talent like psycomtry could be a real pain in the butt when it comes to forming relationships. Simon is the snarky kind of character I enjoy reading. This story begins with Simon investigating a mysterious case of a man found drowned in his very dry apartment. The story moves along at a cracking pace and has a surprising twist at the end.
