This urban fantasy might just surprise you. The lore is comprised of elements both fresh and classic. The detail to the narrative is impressively descriptive. I especially like the way the author portrayed Kyra, the main character, as she learned and expanded on each of her skills, which added a level of realism to the story. Also, Kyra had so many layers to her personality and powers. You don't often see that much attention to detail in a single character. Her strengths, flaws, and quirks all worked together to form someone that I really felt like I knew well and understood by the end.
The biggest complaint I had about this story is that all the men are attracted to the main character. And, for her part, she's attracted to all of them. I felt that one of the guys in particular was often too accepting of the rest (though sometimes not), particularly in light of the fact that Kyra kept thinking of him as jealous. There are a few editing issues, particularly regarding punctuation and tense agreement.
The premise is somewhat of a paranormal murder mystery. I do have to say the pacing and balance between the plot and Kyra's personal growth were really well done. I look forward to seeing more from this author in the future. I award Burned 4 Platypires!
