Upon reading the blurb I thought this would be a really interesting read, especially as it had a lot of things I would usually enjoy. Urban fantasy, nightmares & monsters, a dark & gritty underbelly etc… Unfortunately this fell really flat. 

Everything felt very….surface level? I didn’t connect with the authors writing at all and I ended up getting so frustrated with the main protagonist I skimmed the last 100 or so pages. 

2.5 stars
