An original brew of mystery, mysticism, and character study that upends genre conventions. Oh, and Claire does A LOT of cocaine. Man, I wish Sara Gran would write more of this series.

(Sub)urban fantasy done right, with a unique, tightly-crafted world and a compelling and competent heroine.

I understand that authors can get bored revisiting the same characters and locations, but I am definitely sad that I have to say goodbye to Timothy Wilde and the Five Points. Perhaps we could get a spinoff series from Val's POV.
