Zoo City by Lauren Beukes
4.0

Maybe not a full 4 stars but close enough. A unique (to me) urban fantasy with a heavy dash of crime/mystery/thriller. This book throws you into the deep end - you have to figure out the world building as you go. It clears up fairly soon but the use of unexplained non-English words irked at times. Still even seemingly inconsequential details all tie together satisfyingly in the end (except perhaps for the first murder). I would read a sequel if one existed
