C.E. Murphy, Heart of Stone
Luna (2007) ISBN: 0-373-80292-7
Score: 2
Start of the Negotiator trilogy, an urban fantasy set in modern NYC about a lawyer who gets mixed up with the Old Races (dragons, djinn, gargoyles, selkies, and vampires). The setting and premise were good, but the plotting and characterization were weak, partly because none of the antagonists were human and the villain was completely insane. Also, the heroine jumped to a conclusion that wasn't ever confirmed, and didn't fit what she had insisted was the key point (though this wasn't critical to the plot of this book).
Next Book: Kay Kenyon, Bright of the Sky
