The main character is a little too powerful, but Annie's managed to make her not be all "zap. bad guy dead" and avoids the Sailor Moon problem of "Oh yeah, I completely forgot I could just use my power and the problem would be solved instantly."
Overall this is just a fun urban fantasy read with a new take on many standard urban fantasy elements, like werepeople, druids, warlocks, etc.
Also, the voice actress for the audiobook does a great job.
