Smoke and Shadows by Tanya Huff

4.0

3.5 rounded up to 4. It's my... third? time reading this, and from what I remember I feel the same way this time as the previous times--I love the cast, I love the cast's interactions, I love the CB Studio setup, I just think that the Shadowlord/shadows plot is so boring and most of the book is taken up with it. The second book (if I remember right) does a great job at balancing the (truly excellent) supernatural plot with the character interactions, but this one (and the third, if I remember right) tip too far over into focusing on the less interesting supernatural stories.
