Found myself shocked at how much I LOVED the opening of this book. Genuinely intriguing and different mystery from the usual Buffy/Angel books - a pretty solid detective story, but without a recently reanimated corpse at the centre. 

Unfortunately, it just didn't stick the landing at all; the explanation for the return to life is basically handwaved away, and it culminates in much more if a generic, average demon battle at the finale.

Oh well, at least it started strong for the first 200 pages or so.
