Interesting new adult fantasy novel without the R-rated scenes you normally find in new adult. Prohibition + magic! Very immersive and well done; it only begins to flail towards the latter half when romance inevitably crops up between the two main characters. Whereas everything else about the characters was properly built up, the romance was typical insta-love. 
 There was some inconsistency with the handling of violence with magic. At times it feels as if it's close to impossible or rarely considered; other times it's clearly shown as very possible and very easy to do. Considering how terribly effective magical violence (and other crime) is, it's a wonder law enforcement is only worried about magical booze. But I suppose the story was trying to stay focused on one major issue, and everything else about the story was well done.
