Gaslight & Steam

Review

All that Mason, a mage living in San Francisco, wants is to be left alone to play jazz music in the Mission District. Unfortunately, someone is attempting to kill him, so he and his trusty canine companion (who’s somewhere between a dog and a magical creature, referred to in the book as an Ifrit) must figure out what’s going on. Aside from needing a good copy editor, it’s a good story that’s a good urban fantasy, if slightly more existential than others in the field.
