The prose is very caustically witty, in this very self aware tropy urban fantasy.  The plot is a bit of a mess, and I thought I had missed a prequel as so much happened in the past that kept being referred to (I personally want to read the book of what happend to Kate and Patrick when they were 17).  The characters were not very loveable, but fascinating all the same.  If I read the next book it will be because I want to read more about Elise (loved Elise!!)
