Zoe Martinique is *funny*. When faced with evil, she calls it ‘oogey.’ She goes to work in a catsuit and black bunny slippers. What’s not to like?
The tag-line for this book is ‘out of her body and in over her head,’ and whoever came up with it needs a raise because it describes the book perfectly, the tone, the action - she has no clue about any of the ‘oogey’ stuff. She mostly spies on businessmen when she goes out of body, and suddenly she’s chasing murderers. We see more of the world as Zoe does, and what a cool world it is.
Another all-star supporting cast here, too. Especially Zoe’s mother. Goodness that woman has a steel spine. My biggest mistake was thinking this book was more romantic than urban fantasy, because it’s not. It sounds like it ought to be, with Detective Frasier - or Officer McHottie, as Zoe calls him, doing his thang with the plot. So the ending was kind of, oh, hum, for me, but at the same time, I loved it because it made sense and had a poetic irony thing going.
Also, all of the last four urban fantasies I’ve read have had nice structures.
