#60 Hard Spell by Justin Gustainis

 A new book set in an urban fantasy setting where everyone knows about vampires, werewolves and witches. Stan works for the Scranton Police dept in the Supernatural Crimes Investigation Unit. The book starts with an infodump and a prologue but neither really bothered me that much since the infodump gives you the world setup of how everyone learns about the supernatural and the prologue gets you the set up for the Stan and his new partner.

The main plot has Stan and his new partner trying to find the murderer of a local wizard. Stan recruits a local white witch to summon the sprit to get a lead. This leads to several problems for the witch and does complicate the case a bit for the cops. During the investigation you find out more back story on Stan and what led him to working with the unit. The mystery was solid and the story was enjoyable. I plan on reading more in the series as they come out.

I got this book off of Netgalley to review. 
                                                                                            

Update

 Yes I did just jump 15 book reviews to post something. I had actually requested the book and didn't want to drag my feet posting it since I haven't posted other things. So I will be going back and post dating the missing 15 at some point.
