A bit like Alien Nation which in turn is a story about our innate differences and the two cops in this story not only have to come to terms with each other but try to police a world populated by orcs and fairies whilst protecting an Elf, (go figure)
 Will Smith turns in a passable performance although I think the movie could have been better, not bad Netflix!

A British Classic
A classic British film from the old days. A good cool, fun heist film with one of the best chase scenes on film as the police go after the 3 mini coopers all around Turin. I thought I'd just add I like the new Italian Job as well, but it's not a straight re-make, just similar ideas and also worth checking out!
  
When Aaron is asked to clear a young man with Asperger Syndrome, he can't say no. The police do have a pretty compelling case, can Aaron prove he is innocent? The sub-plots threaten to take over at times, but the humor and characters kept me quickly turning pages.

Shauna J. Bogart, Sacramento talk show host, is devastated when her fellow talk show host Dr. Hipster is murdered. When the police rule it a suicide, she starts to investigate. This debut grabbed me from the start with the real characters and the fast paced twisty plot.

Much much more than a shifter romance
This book is a more indeapth shifter book i have read. In this its a battle between good and evil with most shifters the wolfen, felen and bearen being protectors to the humans that don't even know about them.

This is a great start to the series with each book being dedicated to one of the members of the police force.

Although I have read many books where I didn't like the characters, however in the instance it wasn't only the characters I disliked, it was the whole concept. The main character is apparently so smart that she can manipulate the police, her husband, everyone around her.... I felt that it was unrealistic and overly dramatic. The husband was pathetic and by the end I felt they deserved each other.
