Here I am again with some notes

-- "Long past dues" by James J. Butcher. This is a gripping tale of a 
young barely trained witch named Grimsby, who is working for the Bureau 
of Unorthodox Affairs but fells neglected as all he is assigned to do is 
routine matters like reminding shape-shifters to report to the Asylum in 
time to avoid the Full Moon's effects. His partner is a a older man 
named Mayflower aka the The Huntsman. He kills the bad unorthodox aka 
non-human and it has worn him down. He is missing work which is one 
reason Grimsby is only assigned the lowest level work. Grimsby manages 
to get Mayflower moving again and gets involved with a case involving an 
unknown ritual. It all gets unsatisfactorially resolved as Grimsby 
future happiness is threatened. But it is resolved and Grimsby saves a 
life.  I see I have left out Woozle the goblin like creature who wants
to get back to his own world and who causes Grimsby some problems.
