This was my first official “Urban Fantasy” book so maybe I don’t understand the genre. I have noticed some not so flattering reviews of this story and personally I don’t understand it. I thought the characters were so much fun that by page 21 I downloaded the first book Under Wraps. I spent this whole book either giggling or laughing out loud. Sophie and her friends are a bunch of smartasses (my kind of people). It was full of one liners and little zings that came out of no where.

From the cover of the book I thought Sophie was an Agent/Cop for the Underworld Detection Agency. She’s not. She’s a clerk/assistant but that does lead to many interesting conversations.

My one complaint is that Sophie cries a lot in this book. She did have a lot of issues to deal with, and she was getting her ass kicked a lot. Since she is human, I am sure it hurt. I want to take off ½ a star for too many crying jags. Man up, Sophie, you’re making the humans look bad.

Again, maybe I do not understanding the genre of Urban Fantasy. It certainly was no Lord of the Rings adventure. But it was a very entertaining, quick moving story, with delightful and enjoyable characters. It was so much fun to read. I can’t wait for the next story coming out in May 2012.
