I'd rank this a little above average in the urban fantasy genre. I might even have been persuaded to give it four stars if the protagonist didn't insist on referring to himself in the third person at every opportunity.
If arrogance can be attractive, then it would only be in small doses. Hex's indomitable self-belief, as the "world's best mage," was also a little confusing since he spent almost all of the book with Vusi, a mage of seemingly higher talent as well as supreme physical prowess. I'm just saying, if you find yourself standing next to some super-model, one night at the club, maybe play it humble for your own sake.

This was a typical UF of this kind - even the covers are starting to be the same. But I really liked it. Hex is juvenile and VERY full of himself, but he can back his arrogance up and he does look out for more than just himself. It was a very funny book, a lot of humor. I quite enjoyed it and will read more. My only complaint is that the ending was very abrupt, I would have liked more there, but overall, it was a fun and comical book.
