“James Ozryck has a monster in his head. All of his life the entity that he calls Catskinner has made him a fugitive, afraid to get too close to anyone, afraid to stay in one place for too long. Catskinner kills, without compassion and without warning, and is very good at it. Now James has learned that Catskinner is not the only monster in the world, a world that has suddenly become a far stranger and more dangerous place than he imagined. In order to survive he will have to become something more than a monster, he will have to learn what it means to be human.”

This book is amazing! It has a few minor mechanical issues, barely noticeable as the novel moves quickly along. The story itself is unique and very intense. Misha Burnett is a local author, and the setting is right here in St. Louis – aliens and old-school Mafia team up to create an exceptionally well-done urban fantasy. Plausible, for the genre, with numerous surprises and plenty of action. Highly recommended.
