To Read is To Live

Master of None  - Sonya Bateman 4.5 starsFinding urban fantasy novels with male leads is not easy. Or if I do, they don't interest me as much. So, when I picked up this book, I was hoping that this would be a good one. And WOW, how this book delivers!First, the main hero, Gavyn Donatti, is pretty charming. He's a thief, who seems to have a lucky streak when it comes to himself but not so much for his partners. I enjoy his voice so much. Second, I like the idea of djinn in an UF. I don't meet many djinn characters. I did read Rachel Caine's "Outcast Season" series but that's it. So, I totally welcome Ian -- this sarcastic guy who transforms into wolf. Oh, that is another one I like. Djinn with power to transforms into animal. It's like shapeshifters :)Third, there is a gay supporting character. I'm a huge M/M romance reader. So having an GLBT character in a mainstream book is always a positive reinforcement for me.The pace is really quick, with action that doesn't seem to stop. From the first time Gavyn meets Ian, to reunite with his ex-lover Jazz, to find out that he has a son, to then fight the evil villain who has a plan to destroy djinn AND human realm. It's a non-stop thrill, imbued with some dry humors from Gavin to keep me turning pages on my Kindle.Definitely one of the most entertaining UF I have read this year and a great start for a series.
