I went into this book really excited to see how the premise would work out. Unfortunately I struggled through the last half of the book. I found the build up fun but once we began to get to the meat of the story of investigating and trying to move the story along it began to fall flat, with me forcing myself to push forward and ask why was this information/scene included. I do wish we would've gotten more scenes either exploring the fae lands or with Angie's family, the rest just kinda felt like filler.

Thank you to Netgalley and Sterling & Stone for this e-arc. All reviews are my own opinion

Cute and light urban fantasy - an unlikely housewife is thrown into a world of witches, elves, and fairies - as the warrior to save them from the wicked warlock. Many slapstick moments and a lot of action. Entertaining for any age, will appeal to YA, no graphic gore or spice.

I really enjoyed the older main character and the humorous elements that enriched the plot. There were moments, though, where things felt a bit confusing—perhaps intentionally so, given that the main character was also grappling with a lot of uncertainty.

This started out ok with an interesting premise. Then I struggled to finish the last 2/3 of the book. I wasn’t invested in any of the characters and wasn’t sure if it was meant to be funny or not. There were inconsistencies throughout (an example is in Chapter 14 where she hears the footsteps and door close after a loud gunshot that has her ears ringing). The banter was kind of strange.

I was given a copy by the publisher via NetGalley (thank you!) and all opinions are my own.

I was really looking forward to an entertaining story. This started out nicely enough, with good character development. Sadly, once Angie accepted the premise of coexisting otherworldly characters, it did not carry through very well. It is a very interesting premise, but the writing just felt hurried and lacking. I did not finish the book. I don’t know if I just had too high expectations or not. I found myself gradually forcing myself to continue reading, and eventually gave up. Again, it is an interesting story, just needs a little more development. Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review.
