This book was a pleasant surprise. If you're into shapeshifters, mystery, and magic, this book is definitely worth your time to read. The characters are unique: vampires, shifters, witches, intertwine their magic and mystique with the "real" world. Magical tattoos, a subject I've never heard of before, was very intriguing. Add a serial killer into the mix, and you've got a great story.
A lot of attention was spent on describing the alternate "Atlanta", which I dare to assume is based on the "real" Atlanta, that I know nothing about. I am not sure if someone who is more familiar with that area will find the attention to detail in the description of the locale an important part of the storyline, but since I am not familiar with the area, I thought the time could have been better spent with the storyline.
That being said, I enjoyed this book. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars and am anxious for the 2nd of the series to be released.
I was given a review Kindle copy of this book by the Publisher. I was asked only for an honest review of the book, and am pleased to provide a favorable one.

I agree with you that profoundly regionally specific works can alienate readers from a story. This is not really my type of genre, but since I am familiar with Atlanta I am kind of interested in the setting of this one--then we can compare notes.
