Sally Strange reviewed Iron & Velvet by Alexis Hall (Kate Kane, Paranormal Investigator, #1)
Love this fantasy take on a classic noir detective yarn
4 stars
I had a lot of fun with this one. Hard-boiled, cynical detective who also happens to be a faerie changeling and who's gay? Fuck yeah. The book also deals with that early middle adulthood depression rut and getting out of it. Some really good action scenes, good characterization, werewolves, vampires, succubi and incubi, and oh yeah, a contingent of zombie ninja nuns. Plus a touch of sapphic romance. Great escapist urban fantasy.
