5.0With a supernatural criminal case and a heartwarming (and heartbreaking) love story at its center and set in a gourgously described 40s Chicago, this novella offers noir at its best - dark, at times hilariously funny and utterly captivating.

3.03,5 Es ist irgendwie schwer das Buch zu beschreiben. Man wird direkt in die Handlung reingeworfen und man hat zunächst absolut keine Ahnung was abgeht. Das sortiert sich nach einer Weile, ist aber nicht unbedingt ein Erzählelement, was ich mag. Wer Supernatural und lesbian love storys à la Evelyn Hugo mag, ist hier sehr gut bedient. Wer kein Vorwissen zu supernaturalichen Elementen (Dämonen, Erz-Engel, Besessenheit durch Engel/Dämonen) hat, wird wahrscheinlich Schwierigkeiten haben, der Story direkt folgen zu können. Ein Hoch auf Sam und Dean Winchester, die mich seit Jahrzehnten darauf vorbereitet haben
