In an alternate Atlanta where magic is practiced openly, where witches sip coffee at local cafes, shapeshifters party at urban clubs, vampires rule the southern night like gangsters, and mysterious creatures command dark caverns beneath the city, Dakota Frost's talents are coveted by all. She's the best magical tattooist in the southeast, a Skindancer, able to bring her amazing tats to life.
When a serial killer begins stalking Atlanta's tattooed elite, the police and the Feds seek Dakota's help. Can she find the killer on the dark fringe of the city's Edgeworld? Among its powerful outcasts and tortured loners, what kind of enemies and allies will she attract? Will they see her as an invader, as a seducer, as an unexpected champion...or as delicious prey?

Frost Moon Skindancer Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Anthony Francis Traci Odom Inc Belle Books Books Reviews
Dakota Frost is a tattoo artist - more importantly, she is the best magical tattoo artist in the Southeast, working in the Little Five Points area of Atlanta at a shop called The Rogue Unicorn. As the story opens, she is being taken into the Atlanta Police department, called in to consult by her father's best friend, Andre Rand. Apparently someone has been killing people who have magical tattoos - even worse, whoever is doing this is stripping tattoos off of the still-living victim, first. To complicate matters, Dakota has also been contacted about doing a tattoo for a werewolf, who is seeking control of his beast, and when she goes to the local werehouse to consult with a magical tattooer named The Marquis, she returns home with a new ... friend. A young weretiger has attached herself to Dakota - Cinnamon is what is called a foundling, a werekin whose mother kept the beast shape throughout her pregnancy, and as a result the youngster is unable to pass as human. Cinnamon has tiger ears, a tail, and fur on her hands at all times. Is Dakota next on the killer's radar? Can she help solve the mystery of the flayed tattoos in time to potentially save herself or perhaps some of her clients? Will she be able to help Wulf control his beast?
I loved this first book in the Skindancer series! A Skindancer is one who has magical tattoos and is able to control and use them for magical purposes, in case you are wondering, and Dakota is a fine Skindancer. One thing I particularly loved about this book is that, while Dakota is strong-minded and fairly tough, she is also vulnerable and willing to work with others to protect herself if necessary - she's not one of those "I have to do everyone on my own" types that make me nuts. The characters that Mr. Francis has created are unique, interesting and multi-faceted, and the plot flows smoothly. This book is a page-turner and one I highly - HIGHLY - recommend for fans of urban fantasy and magical reality. Definitely pick it up!
I just started reading this book, I'm about half way through, and am curious if anyone else is put off by the very typical clichés and stereotypes depicted, ad nauseam, about Atlanta throughout the book? *Will update after I am finished.*
*Update* After finishing this book, I can say that this series has promise. The ideas are good ones, the world is interesting and writing is not bad. Once you wade through the political nonsense and get to the meat of the book......about 60-65% on , you do eventually get sucked into the story. I think with a little more polish and a little less stereotyping this book could appeal to a wide range of readers.
I think the author has created a very promising "Edgeworld" for a continued fantasy series. I quite enjoyed the idea of skin-dancing and magical tattoos, and loved the uber-Liberal Dakota (the first line is the best!), but I never got to a part in the book where I was waiting with great anticipation to see what happened next. I found it a bit slow and filled with somewhat irrelevant details (honestly, the whole bit about Savannah didn't pan out at all, as her protection proved all but worthless) but I was interested in seeing how it ended.
The author ties things up fairly well, and didn't surprise me (I knew who the bad guy was, so no Scooby-Doo ending here), and I found the characters of Dakota and Cinnamon both likable. The only other complaint that I had is the notion that a 6'2" woman covered in tattoos and a purple Mohawk is turning heads from Feds to wolves to karate teachers, but I guess she just has a universal appeal that I didn't quite see. It's not at the top of my list, but I'd recommend it to those who like urban fantasy.
