review 1: Ronald is a friend of my daughters and these three books are set in Boston, my old home town, so I read them, even though I'm not heavily into magical fantasy. But the characters are interesting and well-developed, the basic shtick of using old Celtic spirits as the forces behind the underground currents affecting Boston is very well done. The heroine uses her supernatural abilities to track things, even spirits. Excellent writing.
review 2: Evie has a unique super-national sense of smell and can track down almost anything from missing keys to missing people. Boston has a magical underground, which Evie has stayed out of until a midnight phone call from a long vanished lover. To find the missing lover she is pulled into the secret world of magic by betrayal, an... mored conspiracies. For the first time Evie is being hunted.The character Evie, AKA Hound, was an intriguing first person protagonist. Nice world building, especially Boston’s setting came alive from the page with a great use of Sox baseball and magic Celtic mythology. The plot starts off going in all different directions but the writing is thigh enough where you know this will all lead into one direction but mystery enough where you don’t know how it will fold together. The plot moves steady until the end where it slows down, which makes it difficult to pick up the book. There were a few confusing paragraphs where senses and settings seemed to jump. Example, leave someone sleeping and walk ahead but next paragraph they are both exiting together. Think it’s great first attempt to a new series. Don’t know if I’ll pick up the second in the series.I did receive this book copy for free from New York Comic Con. less
