"I'm mot much for your standard whodunit fare, but add some aliens and the ability to travel between worlds and I'm in. It was fun. I'm going to read more."

" Mashup of X-files and detective fiction. Interesting concept, somewhat unsophisticated writing style. Fun story, likable characters. "
— John, 1/12/2014" While an enjoyable enough read, I found the plot a bit dull. The way magic works is interesting but it feels like a bit too much of a setup for a series. "
— Al, 1/8/2014" I loved the concept, but the writing was in dire need of an editor - cliched at best, slogging at worst. I wanted to enjoy this book, but really just couldn't... "
— Steve, 12/30/2013" A good start, but weak resolve "
— Dan, 12/11/2013" Very boring attempt to modernize Noir. Please see Jim Butcher for details on how that is done. "
— Bulwor, 10/16/2013" Starts out like noir X Files, and by the end feels like X-Men. Fun supernatural/sci-fi detective... thing. "
