Wish List

How to Be the Best Damn Faery Godmother in the World (Or Die Trying), Book 2

By: Helen Harper

Narrated by: Ruth Urquhart

You don't have to be mad to work at the Office of Faery Godmothers. But you do have to be magic.

Saffron Sawyer is a faery on a mission. She may no longer have the same rose-tinted spectacles about her job as she once did, but she's still determined to be the best faery godmother that there is. And when she's given the role as leader of a taskforce designed to hunt down the elusive trolls, she knows it's her time to step up and be counted.

Juggling her new responsibilities while dealing with difficult clients isn't easy, however. Danger lurks around every corner-and Jasper, the handsome and powerful Devil's Advocate, is continually looming over her shoulder in the office.

Can Saffron prove her worth to the world of magic? Or will she make one mistake too many and find herself in mortal danger?

Good continuation of the series

Book 2 continues right from Wishful Thinking. Saffron is put through her paces when she is assigned Rose, a former assassin who is being actively pursued by a crooked politician.
Then there’s the Troll task force and the sparks with the Devil’s Advocate.
Underneath it all is a bad feeling that something else is not right....see book 3, As You Wish, already out in ebook.
Urquhart’s voice fits this book and audio.

The narrator's performance.

l could not stand Rose, but was happy that she was able to avoid a straw death.

Even faries make mistakes

The world of the faries has become broader in this book and we learn that even faries make mistakes. Once again, Harper has created characters you can both love and hate. Or hate to love. Or love to hate. I appreciate the intricate way they interact and have their own personalities. I’m curious to see how things will go in the next book.

TSTL

I have to agree with another review that states Saffron had a lot of too stupid to live moments. The fallout and consequences seems muted due to the lack of reaction and punishment. Mistakes are one thing, willfully breaking rules and not acknowledging the severity is negligent. Impulsive decision making and flawed problem solving skills are not ideal, I hope young readers aren't influenced.

Good continuation

I enjoyed this. While our heroine isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed the story continues the first of the series and is worth a listen.
