"J.C. Nelson's twisted, quirky take on fairy tales is pure fun!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Armageddon Rules
J.C. Nelson

Reviewed by Debbie Wiley

Thriller Paranormal - Supernatural

Marissa Locks has her hands full as a partner in the Grimm Agency. Dealing with magic, killer poodle infestations, and now a pied piper are the least of her concerns, however, when the apocalypse is at hand. Never mind that Marissa has to handle a nasty enemy from her past and The Fairy Godfather is being even more cryptic and less helpful than usual. Can Marissa keep her friends safe when the apocalypse arrives?

ARMAGEDDON RULES is the second book in the Grimm Agency series and is best appreciated in the context of the series as a whole. Storylines from the first book, Free Agent, are coming full circle and readers will enjoy J.C. Nelson's wacky, mixed-up fairy tale world a lot better if they have an understanding of the back history. Besides, the Grimm Agency series is so much fun that who would want to miss a single book?

I love the characters in the Grimm Agency series! We've watched Marissa grow from an employee to partner of the Agency. Princess Ari's growth is remarkable and definitely worth cheering for as she is coming into her powers and starting to accept herself for who she is- even if it's not who she expected to be one day. However, it is the secrets we start to learn about the Fairy Godfather that steal the show!

J.C. Nelson's twisted, quirky take on fairy tales is pure fun! I love seeing the inner workings of the various Kingdoms and the zany antics of some of the characters such as the postal gnomes. And the killer poodles- who can't help but laugh every time J.C. Nelson describes an encounter with these horrific balls of killer fluff? I'm hooked on the Grimm Agency series as I can't wait to see what J.C. Nelson has in store for us next! Grab a copy of ARMAGEDDON RULES and prepare to be entertained!

SUMMARY

Marissa Locks, newly appointed partner of the Grimm Agency, has a reputation for making a mess of magical matters—although causing Armageddon is a new low, even for her.

Marissa is due for a little happily ever after. After all, she did kill the evil Fairy Godmother, end a war, and snag a sweet promotion within the Fairy Godfather's magical-problem-solving Agency. But between maintaining a relationship with someone whose amorous advances can cause third-degree burns, dealing with a killer-poodle infestation, and helping her best friend, Princess Ari, learn to wield spells more powerful than curing a hangover, she’s not getting as much peace and quiet as she hoped.

When an enemy from her past appears to exact a terrible revenge, Marissa’s life goes from hectic to hell on earth. With Grimm inexplicably gone and Ari trapped by a sleeping spell, Marissa decides to fight fire with hellfire—and accidentally begins a countdown to the apocalypse.

With the end of days extremely nigh, Marissa will have to master royal politics, demonic law, and biblical plagues in a hurry—because even the end of the world can’t keep the Agency from opening for business.
