2/5. Urban fantasy about Carlos who is half dead and makes various people all-the-way dead for mysterious supernatural forces.
Chalk this one up to an author whose online presence I enjoy but whose book I kinda didn't (see also: Jim Hines, Saladin Ahmed). The best character in this book for my money is New York City; it's colorful and loud and smelly and polyglot. And way more fun to spend time with than the main character, who has total amnesia regarding his life, in his defense. So there's not a lot there. And what is there seems to consist of his penis and the really shitty way he behaves in order to stick it into the woman he wants to stick it into. Yikes. Further books in this series might fill him in more, but eh, I have better things to do than take the chance.
