About Bramble Burn:

It's been thirty years since the Convergence, when the dimensions aligned and combined Earth and the world of Gwyllon, known in human mythology as “Underhill”. Elven castles and ancient ruins sprouted on vacant lots and merged with existing buildings, twisting into new structures. Roads and rail systems reformed, and after the rioting, starvation and death, agriculture sorted itself and food began to flow. A new government formed of elves and men arose, a society of human tech and elven magic. Cell phones and frost giants, race cars and elven steeds, dungeons and dragons…

And everywhere, monsters.

Tree mage Juniper was twenty-three, a child of the new generation. When she found a source of magic buried in an abandoned park, she made a deal with the city. If she can stabilize the park’s wild magic, she’ll own it…if she can survive. Now she has to clear out magic spawned monsters, deal with a werewolf suitor and survive her bloodthirsty dragon uncle. She’s going to have to dig deep to subdue Bramble Burn Park.

My Thoughts:

The advertisement is true. Reading this book, it made me think of Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews. It is not the same, though. This is not a Kate Daniels rip-off.

True to most urban fantasies, plot is not this book's strong suit, either.

The ending is not exactly a cliffhanger, but, it also pointed to the fact that there is a book 2 in the series.

I am wondering if Juniper would show her child to Grandpa. If so, how would she accomplish this?...

This is my first Autumn Dawn read and I am glad that I bumped into this author!

My only complaint about this book/series, is that, it does not have an audiobook version.

Of course book 2 is already bought!

She spent most of her life in Alaska, including winters in a cabin in the woods, where she became intimately acquainted with outhouses, generators, and wood stoves.
