Fetch Philips is my favourite urban fantasy series and I believe Luke Arnold does a fine job of balancing bewtween humor, action, fantastical elements and noir mystery. This remains true for this fourth installment in the series.
Fetch though is different this time around. He tries to stay out of trouble and although trouble finds him early on he makes every effort of minding his own business. Alas..
This brings a new dynamic to our hero, one that admittedly, took me some time to get used to. There are lots of new characters introduced, that have potential but are not fully explored here. The mystery aspect takes a while to get going but eventually leads to a fantastic finale. And speaking of finales, the ending has me lots excited of what is yet to come.
I started my review stating how much I like this series. I believe though that there is potential here for greatness. Unfortunately this instalment, though pretty enjoyable, doesn't expand or elevate the series to new highs. Maybe in the next one but while looking for said greatness, I'm very much enjoying the ride.
Thanks to Orbit and Netgalley for this arc.
