3.5ish

I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it. It's got the bones of a really good story and an interesting take on the supernatural elements, and that's why I'll read/ listen to the next one. The author and the narrator do an admirable job of placing the story such that the location is a breathing part of the story. I could feel the humidity.

The supernatural elements and the approach to the story makes it more of a suspense/thriller/horror/ghost kind of story than an urban fantasy story, although there are certainly supernatural elements and it seems to me that the world is just beginning to open up and may prove to have more. For now, however, I've tagged it.

The romance in the story is a very slow burn romance and has potential but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I rolled my eyes a lot. I hope we will soon get beyond the "I can't think when he looks at me with those smoldering eyes" stage. I'm still trying to decide if I actually like the heroine. She's got potential, but I'm not invested yet.

I am open to it, though. Like I said, it has the bones of a very good series here.
