About this listen
The stakes are real. The mediator isn't.
"Investigation, Mediation, Vindication." That's how the Yellow Pages ad starts, and if it sounds like the sort of thing a drunk teenager might come up with . . . well, you'd only be wrong about the teenager part. John Smith owns San Diego's smallest private investigation firm, but he doesn't know the first thing about mediation. Or vindication.
On the other side of town, vampire Lucia Borghesi is having a terrible century. Stripped of her throne and banished from Italy, she's now somehow found herself in a dispute with the local demigod of nightmares and terror. And to top it all off, the long-time city mediator has been assassinated and her second-in-command just hired a human to fill that role.
If he wants to survive, John will need to prove his value to Lucia and her people while keeping that demigod from sucking San Diego into an unnamed hell dimension. And he'll have to work fast, because his beloved Corolla is parked curbside in Logan Heights, like an open invitation to the neighborhood's graffiti enthusiasts.

Interesting ideas, but some truly cringe inducing moments.
I like the book for the most part, but the incessant references to things it sounds like only someone from California could understand just didn't end.
I enjoyed the characters who felt distinct in their motivations and flaws.
The drunk chapter was dire, and the readers 'Australian' accent was even worse, but they were blemishes in an otherwise top performance and fun story.
