An excellent book with fabulous dialogue. The story teller make this book. Some crazy moments but for a book on the wierd and supernatural mixed with a world we know a few crazy moments are to be expected.

Certainly reminiscient of the Dresden Files in its worldbuilding, while going for a broader sense of humor than the occasional wisecracks to be found in that series.
Enjoyed the diverse cast of characters quite a bit, and a lot of the humor landed well for me too. Grace's accent on audio was a little rough at times, but other than that enjoyed the performance.
Wish the exposition could have been a little more show-don't-tell or at least spread out rather than this sudden half-hour of explanations from a character who shows up solely for that scene. And I'm just really tired of exposition that comes with capitalized generic fantasy names for a half dozen things.

Loved the atmosphere in the newspaper quarters and the editor reminded me of Gary Oldman in The Slow Horses series.
