Shadowseer: London

This book was marketed as a fantasy mystery. This just happened to pop up in my BookBub ebook bargain email (of which I download everything free every day...). This was kind of closely following me making a comment about an idea I had to my fiancé about mixing fantasy with other genres (just an idea, I'm not a writer), so I pretty much flipped at this one being free. 
The story follows Inspector Sebastian Pinsley, a Scotland Yard man of logic and rationale. As an Agatha Christie reader, he perfectly fit the general mold of what I expect from a murder mystery detective. As for the time period think of top hat wearing Victorian London, which coincidentally made me immediately think about Carnival Row, which also mixed the fantasy and mystery genre. Kaia, the books second perspective, is where the fantasy comes in. However, for 6/10th of the book you're not exactly sure if that's true or not, and even afterwards it wasn't entirely certain. Especially with Pinsley shooting her down about it. 
A lot of this novel worked really well for me, and I was excited to see that it's actually a series. However, with the split genre I found that it's not exactly a fantasy, nor is it exactly a murder mystery. Although there are more that can change the level in the mixture, I really desire something that is entirely integrated. 
Personally a 4/5* for me, definitely interested in more.
