Cast in Shadow by Michelle Sagara

Ok. So... I took this out of the library once because I wanted something cheesetacular and then promptly failed to actually read it. This time I took it out of the library and actually read it! Woo! I think part of my problem with this book was the cover. WHY do female urban fantasy authors have the cheapest looking covers? I mean, I guess this is ok, but it screams Romance genre to me. And that is not what this book is! I guess I'm just a cover snob.
Aaaanyway, this was not bad! I kinda liked it! I actually found myself leaving my desk at work during lunch to go sit outside so I could read it! Who knew? Sadly the library doesn't carry any of the newer novels of this series. I'm half tempted to go buy them... maybe. Overall there's a bit of overdramatic hooey going on with the main character in some of the plot. Information that is hinted at and then comes out in a big sodden mess of emo... and a lot of avoidance by the main character in actually looking at her feelings about various things... aaaand... somehow that's ok. It was perfect for what I was wanting at the time.
