Chris Little put together a great urban fantasy where we get a bit of a fictional world mixed with that of the world today. While it is not all reality it is a pleasant mix that is both believable and imagineable. The book itself and the plot was awesome.

Here's the set-up:
Natalie’s parents weren't the nurturing type—and she has the physical
and emotional wounds to prove it. For sixteen years she’s hidden behind a
wall of sarcasm and decadent desserts, but now her father is back, and
she has only one thought: to kill him before he can hurt the family that
took her in.
But there’s more to his darkness than even his own
daughter can understand, and a gun is no defense against magic that can
raise the dead.
It turns out those scars he left on Natalie’s
back were more than just a sadistic hobby. Now her father demands that
she finish a ritual so ancient, so terrifying, that even the vampires
and werewolves are nervous.
Can anyone protect her?
One Reviewer Notes:
`The Darkness of Shadows' is a unique urban fantasy novel with a very normal main character in Natalie. She's physically and psychologically scarred, but she's a lot stronger than she knows. I was quickly drawn into Natalie's world. As Natalie discovered the hidden world her parents belonged to, so does the reader. There's not a lot of mythology to remember as you read, which I think is good, but plenty of magical action. I loved Natalie's sarcastic wit, determination, and undying loyalty to her family of the heart. With the surprising ending, I can't wait to see where the author takes Natalie next! Full of mystery, magic, and action, `The Darkness of Shadows' will captivate your senses!
