Disappearing Nightly by Laura Resnick

A friend of mine on Goodreads recommended this book. She said it was fun and funny urban fantasy. I wasn't sure what she meant by urban fantasy (I guess I haven't really explored that genre), but she usually gives reviews that I agree with, so I decided to give it a try. Plus I was ready for a fun and funny book.

It was kind of fun and parts of it were funny. Mentally I give fantasy novels a wide berth. I don't know why, because many of the ones I've read I really liked. But I always balk at the idea of reading a fantasy novel.

This book had minimal fantasy. Just a little bit of magic and mages. It takes place currently in New York City, so perhaps that's where the urban part comes in.

Here's the label I'd give it: a mystery with a little bit of fantasy thrown in. It was a  diverting and quick read. Not great literature, nothing to set the world on fire, but enjoyable. There are more books in the series. I'm not in a rush to read them, but if the opportunity arose I might give them a try.
