New paramedic Dean Flynn is fresh out of the academy. When he gets assigned to the unknown backwater ambulance Station U, he wonders what he did wrong. Then Dean learns that his patients aren't your normal 911 callers. Dean and his partner Brynne Garvey serve the creatures of myth and legend living alongside their normal human neighbors in Elk City. With patients that are vampires, werewolves, fairies and more, will Dean survive his first days on the new job? Will his patients? Not all is well on the streets of Elk City, and some humans are striking out at their mythical neighbors.

I have to admit I’m not been much of a fantasy reader but I was attracted to this story as I’m a career paramedic. I also taught EMTs and paramedics for many years so when Dean, after having graduated at the top of his class ended up at Station U it was quite a blow to his ego. That made me laugh. The storyline had more twists and turns than a mountain Highway and the characters were well drawn. The narrator did a great job bringing them to life. I can certainly relate to Dean as he tries to understand his patients and their world. Jamie makes the strong point that The Unusuals are just people trying to get along in a world where they’re not accepted by humans. The undertone of discrimination certainly reflects the “real” world. You don’t have to be a medical person or fantasy fanatic to enjoy this story. I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of it.
