Hostile Takeover by Cristelle Comby
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Oh, I wanted to love this one. Gritty urban fantasy in a world much like ours but is yet so much more. A hero who is not lily white and yet still strives to do the right thing. Even if sometimes he goes about it all wrong. This book has this, crime, drama, action, a dash of romantic tension. However, the pacing in the book is off. It goes from racing to dragging in areas which makes it very hard to read. The main character, PI Bellamy Vale has a serious chip on his shoulder in regards to his near immortality that he got when he made a deal with the devil.
Overall, this is the first in a series and the book certainly has potential from a storyline point of view. I think that the pacing needs some editing to at minimum even it out so that you do not lose readers in the middle of the book.
I received a free ARC from Book Sirens in exchange for my honest opinion.
