After quite some positive reviews I expected more from this book. The storyline is allright, Although to me most of the "unexpected" twists of the story were not quite as unexpected (maybe except one). As it is the first novel in a series, hopefully the characters will develop becoming more colorful and leaving some of the more obvious clichés behind. I do not like the rather strong "occult" Part Either too much, but did might be just my personal taste. I am gonna give the second part of the series a chance, but if there is no substantial improvement That is gonna be the last one I read.
