Just nabbed the first book "Hounded" on my Kindle and was curious to know if anyone here has read it yet and what their feelings were.

I'd not heard of it before now, but the description on the first book looks interesting.

Are all three books really being released this summer? Or is this some short story collection?

Yeah, that's my point. That is crazy fast, makes me think that the story is extremely drawn out or something.

Or maybe all three were already written before the first one was published. I kind of like the idea. I hate waiting 20+ years (WoT) for a series to be finished.

Let us know how it is once you're finished. It sounds like it could be a good read. But books like this also have a tendency to be not so good.

I just finished the first book. I really liked it. It is very similar to Dresden, yet still different enough in writing style and background to be entertaining in its own merit. If you are a fan of Dresden, I would highly recommend this book. I have a few others to read before I get the next one, but I definitely will keep reading the series.

Yoss, you would really like it I think, First-person Urban Fantasy is right up your alley, no?
