Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Kim Harrison creates a new world. One in which humans, witches, vampires, weres and other folk live together. It really is not your typical vampire story.
Rachel Morgan is a runner for the I.S., Inderland Security, which is some kind of police dealing with non-humans. But Rachel does something which puts her on the death list of her own agency: she quits her job and opens her own agency. Hiding from the I.S. Rachel, together with her friends, soon finds herself in big trouble trying to solve a case nobody ever asked her to solve.
Besides creating a new and interesting world, Harrison also succeeds in writing a fast paced and highly capturing story. There are a few places in the book which have the slight feel of a loose end, but considering this is the first book in a series, I expect later books to eventually pick them up.
