If I only judged a book by its cover, I wouldn’t have picked this one up (Seriously Uggh),  but the narrator, Andrew Tell, sounded pretty good in the snippet that Audible offered up… The blurb almost turned me off as much as the cover art, but there was something else that drew my attention…  It was a fairly flattering 3* review! That promised that this urban fantasy wasn’t another Harry Dresden knockoff, as I had feared from the aforementioned blurb…
The reviewer’s right, and I found the book delightful… Tallow Jones is a strange Mage/turned PI who ingratiates himself with the Atlanta Police. Tallow starts sussing out a kidnapping which most of the police force believes is simply a runaway… And I didn’t see the curve ball that the author threw, ’til it hit me!
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
