Jordan helps kids on the run find their way back home. He's good at that. He should be - he's a runaway himself. Sometimes he helps the kids in other stranger ways. He looks like a regular teenager, but he's not. He acts like he's not exactly human, but he is. He treads the line between mundane reality and the world of the supernatural.
Desdaemona also knows the nonhuman world far too well. She tracks Jordan down and enlists his aid in searching for her lost sister, Fay, who did a Very Bad Thing involving an immortal. This may be a mistake - for both of them. Too many people are interested now, and some of them are not people at all.
Ben Macallan's urban fantasy debut takes you on a terrifying journey, lifting the curtain on what really walks our city streets.

The author doesn't hand hold you at all with the world building and characters and I legitimately couldn't have appreciated that more. Things are learned dynamically and in a way that makes sense for the characters. There's no "info dump" or expository mess. It was hours in before you get a real sense as to who is who and what is what I'm relation to them. Good writing.
There are multiple reviews that complained about sex or assault in the book - it's a horror novel (though personally I think it fits mystery just as well) and the MC is a 17 year old male with 17 year old hormones and the author doesn't spend time throwing anything at all in anyone's face. Instead, he writes about afterthoughts or experiences with in all honesty is very dialed back in terms of description. If you are looking for a book with more of that in it, you will in fact be very disappointed. As for assault - there are vampires, demons, and all other manners of characters in this book and they don't all get along. If you have sensitive sensibilities - maybe choose a different genre?
This was a great read. I finished it in less than a day and enjoyed it. Give it a shot. It's worth your time.
