I'm torn on how to rate this book. I had a fun time reading it, and the main character was relatable. But I also didn't like the writing style. It felt like it was trying too hard to be "hip", using words like "natch" instead of "naturally" (which took me a few times to figure out) or "obvi" instead of "obviously", and these were used a LOT. Also, this book is set in New York, but then the main character says things like "drop trou" like she's British, so that was a little confusing.

Having said all that, I enjoyed the book overall and would recommend it to those who like smut-lite romance (more words than actions, if that makes sense) and don't mind a touch of the paranormal.
