Frost Moon

Not being a major reader of urban fantasy, I wasn't expecting a whole lot from Frost Moon - I'm glad to say that I was wrong! Francis creates an interesting alternate world, with magical tattoos, were-things, vampires and more all live on the edge of ‘normal' life. Dakota Frost takes the lead role as a magical tattooist brought in to provide technical expertise to a police investigation, getting caught up in a world of trouble in the process.[return][return]The story sprints along at a breakneck pace, a definite page turner. There are some issues (nearly all the major male characters are ripped and model esque good looking for example), but they seem to stem more from the urban fantasy nature of the book rather than any deficiency in the writing. All in all, Frost Moon is well worth a read and the characters and ideas introduced can only benefit from a further outing!
