MEDIA REVIEWS
Praise for the series:"A delight from start to finish" - Crime Review Consistently fun and entertaining in equal measure,always worth your money and time - NerdlyA police procedural crossed with fantasy mystery...I highly recommend this book - Major Spoilers Amazing writing and interior artwork that will guarantee you will be a fan for life - Reading With A Flight Ring "The magic or falcon,as police slang would have it is pleasingly grounded here,creating a world of subtle intricacies rather than dazzling fireworks,and the supernatural is blended into the police procedural with satisfying realism. The characters are familiar but engaging enough,and the art does much to make each face distinctive and expressive as well as give the story its down-to-earth sturdiness." - Booklist
