I have to admit that I picked up this book because I loved the cover.
The use of Slavic mythology was intriguing, as was the contemporary but noir-tinged Chicago setting. I didn't quite connect with the characters, though part of that might be due to When Among Crows being novella-length. The narrative being so close-mouthed about Dymitr's motives and background until the very end might also be part of that problem.
I'd be interested in seeing more with these characters and this setting.
(By the way, yes, it's the Veronica Roth who wrote the Divergent series.)
