Dead to Me by Anton Strout
2.0
Derivative, formulaic, and cliched. This book brings nothing new to the table in the genre nor gives us a character about whom we should be expected to care.
The story is as rife with the standard tropes of urban fantasy as the painting on the cover, only less lifelike.
The characters are wooden. Simon is inexplicably wet-behind-the-ears (I know it's a plot device for world-building, but it's lazy and illogical) for someone who has been doing the job for a while.
Connor treats him like a wide-eyed babe, but what are we supposed to believe he's been doing on the job up to this point?
I hated this book.
