Cute story

There were some things I really enjoyed about this story, and some things that really got on my nerves. I liked the mystery aspect and the determination of the main character. I liked the Devil’s Advocate. I did not enjoy the extended snark and arrogance of the coworkers or the constant grumpy anger of so many people she encountered. I really disliked the repetition of “F*** a Puck”. She said that a lot. Overall it was a nice story that is clearly the beginning of a series, but I might stand in solidarity with poor abused Puck and stop here.

Pleasantly surprised!

I wasn’t sure what to expect but when I started listening to the narrator/performer I was drawn in by her fabulous accent! Then the whole concept was rather fun and I enjoyed the main character because she is very relatable! It’s a funny book on and off throughout, with a little possible romance and with a mystery to solve. I will be reading the rest of the series. It was entertaining and an escape!

So much fun!

This story is great urban fantasy. I took a chance on it thinking it might be sappy and if so I would move on. Instead I enjoyed the world of fairies. Saffron is a fun main character with lots of grit. I highly recommend escaping into this story.

Fun read

Had me guessing at the culprit and I was wrong - fun read. Going to grab the next one now.

Another good one from Helen Harper!

I've listen to this whole series now and it's another winner from Helen Harper. I really enjoyed this series. It has a lot of humor, suspense, and a nice romance between the main characters. The main character will make you laugh. I blew through all four of the books very quickly. Quite enjoyable!
