Excellent story with character development!

While still falling under the umbrella of "urban fantasy" this novel has succeeded where so many others of late have failed. First, there are several very compelling and non-formulaic characters. As many have noted, the protagonist is "morally ambiguous" however his character development in just this first novel is far greater than that of many other series, where things are doggedly the same book after book. While the next book is not out yet, I think McLean has taken the high road and refused to adhere to a pulpish formula just for sales. I am keenly interested in what he does next. After finishing this book, I don't think I will be disappointed.

And the narrator is top notch. I will start looking for other books he has narrated.

A breath of fresh air.

I came upon this book by chance in my search for something other than the typical fantasy book. As the book is being read I imagined the whole thing in a film noir style much like sin city. It's dark, has sorcery, demons, fallen angels, and even Lucifer in a man's journey to get out from under a gambling debt with an arch demon. I can't wait till the next one.
