Pulp, but really fun pulp. Aaronovitch will inevitably draw comparisons to Butcher's Dresden Files series, and for good reason as their premises and style are pretty similar. This is set in London instead of Chicago and things are both less structured and less established, as Aaronovitch's protagonist is a neophyte and an actual cop, rather than an experienced wizard with a history. Definitely doesn't go the trashier route a la Kim Harrison, but is not an especially brave or groundbreaking work.
