(Mostly just some thoughts and notes I took as it's been a while since I read this.)
A queer Murder Mystery with some magic/supernatural. What more can you want?
The beginning part was really great and sucked me right in.
Nelson is a good boy and the FBI are assholes.
The murder scene at the heart of this was beautifully NBC Hannibal-esque. Stunning.
I was really into the beginning but it lost me a bit over the course of the story. Not by much, mind you.
There were a few holes and story jumps I stumbled over. Especially in the last third of the book, which made the immersion and enjoyment a bit more difficult.
The relationship between the two main characters is interesting and I am excited to see how they develop more.
I normally enjoy a slow burn, and while this is not quite it, I still like them.
I am excited to continue this story and find out what will happen!
I hope we get to learn more about the Magick and lore of the world and get a few questions answered.
I do have a feeling that I will enjoy the following books even more!
