picked up from the friends of the library book sale shelf to read.
azon Editorial Review

Like most Manhattanites, aspiring artist Tate can't resist a good rental deal-even if it's in the city's strangest neighborhood, Golgotham, where for centuries werewolves, centaurs, and countless other creatures have roamed the streets.

Her new landlord is a sorcerer name Hexe, who is determined to build his reputation without using dark, left-hand magic. As Tate is drawn into Hexe's fascinating world, they both find that the right hand does not always know what the left hand is doing-and avoiding darkness is no easy trick...

I really enjoyed this book. It was a good introduction to this alternate New York City with it's ghetto for the magically inclined races. I loved that magic had been around since the founding of the United States. In so many of these paranormal urban fantasies magic is a secret hidden thing. It was refreshing to have magic out in the open and having influenced history of the world.

Left in the book exchange rack by the vending machines.

Released as part of the 2017 Science Fiction Release Challenge.

I noticed that this had been returned to the book swap shelves in the vending lounge. I owe a book to Loriped for the paranormal Devils swap. So rather than wait to send a to be read book, I am picking this back up from the wild. I hope she and her mom haven't read it and enjoy the book as much as I did.

I'm sending this to KarhyB for her paranormal Devils month.

I'm really looking forward to this book as the character sounds like another I really enjoy, Allie Beckstrom by Devon Monk. I like a little grit in my paranormal stories.
