I'm not going to post an online review. This book badly needs editing and a better story. So much time is spent discussing the heroine's hair and her amazing translucent skin and too little attention is paid to the part where she's mind-raping a librarian and thinks it would be rude to mind-rape her even more. I'm struggling to find something positive to say. At one point, I was counting how many paragraphs in a row could start with gerunds: Forcing, sliding, glancing, knowing, sprinting...

The heroine is the worst kind of marysue self insertion and the story suffers from it. I've found some overlooked gems on Netgalley when picking an overlooked self-published kind of piece. This, sadly, wasn't one of them.

I want to write something positive and encouraging because looking back this is really a downer and I only made it through 10% of the book before deciding I wanted to throw it against a wall (I didn't; it would have hurt my Kindle). So maybe find a writing group and read a few books on writing (much as your heroine learned Tai Chi moves by reading a book)?

I wish I had liked it more. I love "fairy meets urban reality" titles, so that was a great choice.

I enjoyed discovering the new amazing world of Genoa and all its magical creatures. What a fun paced crazy ride with great characters! Magic, Dragons, Wizard, Hunky shifter men, what more could you want in a book?
