This whole series is such a comfort read for me - I think this was my fourth or fifth re-read.  I'm probably biased because my whole family is from Pittsburgh and this story is very grounded in that location.  The genre is rather interesting - kind of like take urban fantasy but make it sci-fi, which I absolutely love.  I usually describe it to friends as
"werewolf biker gangs in pittsburgh"
which is usually enough to hook them.  

On this reread the romance between Indigo & Ukiah seemed more abrupt than usual, but I can roll with it.  Looking forward to the rest of the series, since I actually prefer the later books.
