''Hallow Point'' reads like nearly urban fantasy, an idea that nearly works and is nearly executed well. The character of Mick Oberon has obvious hidden depths that will be revealed in later books, but if they are as confused as this outing, it may not be worth the effort. Marmell could improve the series by just relaxing the pace a little and reducing the overuse of slang throughout.
There is more urban fantasy available out there now than you can wave a magic wand at, try the [[Libriomancer by Jim C Hines]] series or the classic Dresden files, such as [[Changes: The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher]]. You might also enjoy [[Troika by Colin Pascoe]] or [[Tempest Rising by Nicole Peeler]].
