Warning: This novel contains excessive humor, a fire-breathing unicorn on a mission of destruction, magic, romance, and bodies. Proceed with caution.

Catering to the magical is a tough gig on a good day, but Bailey has few other options. Spiking drinks with pixie dust keeps the locals happy and beats cleaning up the world’s nastiest magical substances. But she could live without serving Police Chief Samuel Quinn most days of the week, especially after destroying his marriage.

But when she’s targeted with a cell phone bomb containing gorgon dust capable of transforming her home into a stone tomb, she’s tossed headfirst into a mess with her sexiest enemy. Add in his ex-wife angling for revenge, and Bailey must use every trick up her sleeve to survive.

The last thing she needs is to fall in love with Manhattan’s most-wanted bachelor. Saving Manhattan will be tough enough.

I basically just finished this and my overall impression I was left with was "What did I just read/listen to? 😅

This book is like someone with adhd let all their intrusive thoughts win and just randomly wrote a piece out of the FMC daily life.
It follows no red line and is just all over the place while totally random things happen.

Some of the dialouges are funny but I wasn't really into it. It felt like following a series of fast paced events that are mainly linked by involving the characters that were designed to be as random as possible and yet still related somehow.

On the plus side: it will most likely be one of a kind sort of story that you've never heard or read before 😄

like someone had to make a story out of cerfuffle leftovers

The idea for the world is great unfortunately the author stays on the surface, introduces many species but doesn’t go into details. Especially about the main character and her backstory.
The love story moves way too fast!

Generally the idea is very nice and the characters likeable, intriguing and fun to listen to.

Narration way too fast for all the information that is flung at you.

Interesting premise
