Downloaded this on a whim when I was going through new releases, it was by far the one I was least interested it but it's turned out to be really fucking good and the best of the lot.
Urban Fantasy but it's set up like an Alfred Bester sci-fi in that it introduces you to the concept (shadow magic has been revealed to the world fairly recently) and then uses that to explore a story about it.
The protagonist is rare for urban fantasy because they're not magically powerful, they're not solving a detective mystery plot and they start off in a relationship instead of having a will they won't they being the big subplot. Think the author does a real good job of writing a character who has specific competencies but is still a fuckup in a completely believable way.
Big recommend, the plot even ties up incredibly nicely whilst still giving you a sequel hook.
