I devoured this in like a day and I now have an emotional void in my heart that needs to be filled by the sequel immediately.

My friend sent me this one to read and it is an excellent quick dessert read about a very smart, sassy daughter fae bounty hunter up against institutional idiocy and incompetence to find her kidnapped parents. And also hot faeries, like you do.

The author did a good job having the MC make decisions that actually made sense. She knows when she's in over her head and takes practical steps to mitigate danger, but she's also brave and loyal and good-hearted and does what needs to be done. The cast of characters around her was very fun and I'm excited to see more of everyone. There's also a very irritating old classmate/bounty hunter colleague that you love to hate, and a large black cat, which is very important. The book's internal arc concludes but there are a lot of loose threads and the ending is not exactly emotionally satisfying, since she is clearly setting up some long-term arcs.

And I need them right now.

03/2022: reread now that all three are out. Feel the same. Looking forward to groveling.
