I loved the mix of horror and mystery. I read this series out of order but look forward to going back and reading the 1st one.

I would give this a fourth star, and still might retroactively, but I read this without reading Pretty Dead Things first and so had no idea why I should give a crap about the first person narrator vs the policewoman's much more interesting, compelling and fully realized story. The policewoman's story and the other two narrative threads were pretty fantastic, though. If Usher had been more of a presence throughout, or if his status as the first person narrator in those few chapters were made more clear, the book would have stood alone better. As it was, I felt like a good story of a policewoman dealing with supernatural crap in her personal and professional lives got hijacked at the end by some character in whom I had no personal investment whatsoever.
