Publisher's summary

All Detective Romeo Moon wanted to do was hunt down and capture a mass-murdering demon-god who just so happened to be a member of his family. A man-to-dog shifter himself, he'd usually be up for the task, family or not, especially with the help of his best friend, a mixed-species zombie-human undertaker.... But what is one to do when you discover a conspiracy that includes the mayor, the city police, a robber baron with the most powerful magic of all (money), a Dracula Vampire, and an army of both the living and the dead all involved in a plot to take over the city?

Can he stop it? Can he even survive trying to stop it? Find out now in this face-paced, snappy, and smartass historical urban fantasy!

almost good

It's as if the author was in an all-fire hurry to write this. ZERO forshadowing. Strange jumps into plot twists that I was unable to suspend my disbelief for, and a writing style that doesn't give me any reason to connect with and care about the wellbeing of the characters. It felt like the writer was in a different mood every time they wrote, so sometimes he was invested but other times he was horny and pulling risk-seeking behaviors (random sex and use of "fuck") and it came across in his writing. super weird. And for the love of sweet Moses, don't hire this narrator to read anything else. Every character is the same... every emotion is the same lais·sez-faire attitude.

But the actual story.... the actual story is fascinating.

I'm personally not interested in LGBTQ stories

The main character is bisexual and makes a point of mentioning in frequently in the first fifteen minutes of the film. Not for me..

Other than that, the writing felt a bit amateurish and there wasn't any real conflict. i don't know.. it just wasn't for me.
