Guilty by Association is E. A. Copen's first book and also the first in a series focusing on a paranormal regulatory/investigative agent named Judah in a world where supernatural creatures are out in the open. She works for a government agency called the BSI, and I do not remember what that stands for, but they handle all issues relating to vampires, werewolves, and fae, and probably some other creatures we haven't encountered yet. Judah is also a code name, hinting that name magic is something to be taken seriously in this world. Anyway, Judah has just moved to Paint Rock, Texas with her eleven-year-old son, Hunter, after something went down in their old home in Cleveland to get her reassigned. Paint Rock was once a normal town but was emptied of most of its human inhabitants and turned into a reservation for the area's paranormals, including a vampire coven, a werewolf pack, and a handful of fae. The book opens with Judah discovering a dead werewolf in the laundromat, and it gets crazier from there as she tries to solve both the murder and what appears to be a connected series of kidnappings.This was a great book. In style and general feel, the thing it reminds me of most is Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series. I'm not sure why this is, precisely, because the two aren't actually very similar in content at all other than that they're paranormal fantasies. Maybe it's the writing style? I've always found Caine's writing style to be very engaging, and that was definitely the case here. All of Copen's characters were fully fleshed-out and served their purpose without seeming superfluous. The most superfluous one I can think of was Patsy, but I suspect she'll be a bigger player in future books. (I do hope there will be future books.) At first, I really didn't like that Judah had a kid because 1) I do not like children and 2) The last book I read that heavily featured a child of the main character featured long and detailed descriptions of the child-friendly playlists they listened to and then ended in a ridiculous kidnapping plot. That didn't happen here. I think Hunter fit very well into the story, and his background and character development lend themselves heavily to the plot as a whole. That was great; it's so annoying when children are featured as characters just as "wallpaper" for the sake of them being there, without them actually having any impact on the story. Hunter had impact, and that makes him A-okay in my book!The world building here was also well-done, though a little confusing when I think about it a bit more in depth. The basic story is that vampires came "out of the coffin" to steal a Sookie Stackhouse phrase, and they dragged the werewolves and fae out with them in order to help share the heat. That made sense. What also made a lot of sense to me was the rampant discrimination against these "new" types of being. Having them being forced out of their regular homes and onto a reservation was a very clear comparison to historical discrimination seen in the United States and I thought the point was very clearly made, though occasionally handled with some well-deserved lightheartedness, like when one character mentions that the cops manning the checkpoints between the reservation and the outside world are racist and another goes "Against werewolves or Indians?" or something like that. What was a little more confusing was the way humans with magic are treated. Judah has some magic, though not a lot, and it's implied that some humans have a lot more. (Does Father Reed fall into this category or not? He would seem to, but I have a suspicion that he's not actually human... Hm...) But these humans, despite their supernatural abilities, don't seem to face any discrimination at all. Judah faces a little bit of jibing when she first breaks out her abilities, but after that no one questions or avoids her due to them. I wonder why humans with magic weren't lumped into a different sort of "other" group and also persecuted, though maybe not to the extent that the beings who very obviously are not human were.I'll tell you what I missed in this book: a romantic subplot. I know, I know, I am not obligated one, but I think it's the whole "this reminded me of Rachel Caine" thing that had me looking for one around every corner, because romance features pretty heavily in her books. Did this book need a romantic subplot? No. Judah is a strong independent woman who don't need no man. I can see where a romantic plotline, had there been one, could have been seen as pandering. (But then, I like being pandered to.) Did this suffer for not having a romance? No... But come on, Sal was so awesome, how could you not be hoping they would hook up the entire time? Granted, that might have made the whole episode in the Ways a little weirder, but still. I wanted it.This is getting a bit long, so I'll wrap it up with this: overall, this was a great book, and I would definitely read the next one. I think Judah and the other inhabitants of Paint Rock have a lot of potential, and that there's probably some "big bad" brewing in the middle distance for them to face, if the end was any indication. It's one of those books that wraps up all the plot points and has closure, but still leaves plenty of room for more. Was it one of my absolute favorite books that I'll reach for over and over and over again? Probably not; those books are few and far between. But I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good, developed paranormal fantasy with a strong female character as the lead.Also, I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review--but I liked it so much I went out and bought a copy afterward, so that probably speaks for itself!A solid 4 stars out of 5.
Reposted from my goodreads review:So many things to say about this book.As a breakout first novel, I was impressed. The book, although a simple and quick read, offers a lot of food for thought in the way of morality, politics, and othering of things we don't understand.By now most of you are aware of the book's premise. Running with the fact that people fear what they don't understand, Copen has excelled at world building while creating a dialogue about gender, minorities, sexuality, and poverty all wrapped up in a fun SVU-style supernatural detective story. The fact that many members of the supernatural community were also minorities added an extra layer of politics to the plight they all faced. One part in particular concerning the supernatural community struck me. One scene, involving fae characters, had accents described as a "perfect blend" of Welsh, Scottish, and Irish. I didn't realize it at first, but after I finished reading I realized that among white populations, these groups of people were also marginalized, othered, and in some cases even subjected to slave labor. It was a nice touch that I'm not even sure the author may have been conscious of during her writing. Judah, being a woman, and one who has managed to hold her own in the first book without a complete fleshed out love interest, managed to keep me going. I see potential in later books for a love interest, but the fact that Judah is not all over said potential love interest by the end of the first book is not only realistic, but reassuring.The use of minorities in the book is also one of my biggest criticisms. Indians especially are subjected to the "mystical" and "magical" treatment, and the fact that this reservation is full of minorities who all seemed to need saving by someone who is not a minority made me painfully aware of the real world politics involved in how minorities are viewed and treated in the media. Not to say that this is a bad thing. Copen has fleshed out the world well, and there is potential for growth on this front as we progress in the series. Judah's own connection to the community also makes this arguably more a battle for her son than for the community at large in the end (not to say that Judah doesn't care about the other people she's saving), and her connection to a government agency does make it easier for her to bend the rules. From a storytelling perspective, it is well done. Just a social issue I wished to point out, to be aware of. A concern that Copen I'm sure is well aware of in real world politics already.There were a couple of simple editing errors. A word repeated here or there. The book flowed well, though I did notice an extreme shift in tone between the first 150 or so pages, and the last. Perhaps this is Copen's writing style, perhaps it was something going on in her life at the time these parts of the book were written. I was not jarred by the change, but was more aware of it than I thought I would be. A lot of action is thrown in the last half of the book, in comparison to the first, and a lot of it seemed to hit at the same time. It felt kind of like opening a bottle of champagne- you know the cork is going to blow, but when (and is it going to break/hurt anyone in the process)?? Just like the champagne, it was a pleasant surprise when the plot-cork finally burst, though on small occasions I did have to remind myself what all was going on.My biggest criticisms involve the bad guys. Readers are almost handed the bad guy on a silver platter.And that's all well and good because, given the story, it was obvious that he was a supernatural creature of some sort. The revelation, however, came out of nowhere for those uninitiated in a wide range of supernatural lore. I understand Copen wanting to keep something about this character in the dark, but it was confusing for me because how did Judah even know? It is explained as to how the being's attributes finally gave it away to Judah, but how did she know what attributes to look for? Where did that come from?My other is about the bad guy's teacher. We hear no word of said teacher until the last few chapters of the book. And yet, for all this, he is the *real* evil who is far worse than the bad guy in the book?But for all these criticisms I was still highly entertained, while also enjoying the sociological discussion that occurred with my wife as a result of us both having read it. This book has a vast trove ready for analysis, and that is my favorite kind of book.It makes you think, it teaches you something new, and keeps you entertained.
