Poison City by Paul Crilley
3.0
Fancy your fantasy departed from the usual Euro-centric myths and legends of the supernatural? Look no further than Gideon Tau's investigation into the weird and wonderful world of Durban, aka Poison City.
Full of great action sequences, interesting fantasy references, and an apocalyptic build up to a climax you won't see coming.
Half way through reading this I finally noticed that Becky Chambers (of LWTASAP fame) had actually read/reviewed this book. That didn't exactly put it in high regard in my books, but it did at least push me to finish this novel when it got messy after the first third.
It's a little all over the place and certainly could've done with another edit or two, but Poison City is a good quick read if you need your supernatural fix this month.
