"A fabulous urban fantasy that makes you hope for more about the Gale girls."

Fresh Fiction Review

The Enchantment Emporium

Fantasy Urban

Being a Gale girl (no relation to Dorothy) isn't always easy. Sure, being a Gale girl means immediate cabs, airplane seat upgrades and most of the world getting out of your way, but it also means tricky and powerful situations, dealing with an attraction to and the choices of Gale boys, and constantly interacting with the sense of entitlement of the "aunties," who continue to be Gale girls. After losing funding for her job, Alysha Gale is certain she'll have a little moping and recovery time, but her grandmother's death - or rather, news of her grandmother's supposed death - pushes Alysha into a Gale-less city and a swath of strange instances and seeming coincidences. Before long, she is taking in strays: a sorcerer's assassin here, a changeling leprechaun there. Even worse, Alysha is over her head in ever-deepening magical danger, and she is refusing to inform the "aunties." THE ENCHANTMENT EMPORIUM is a fabulous book. For new readers as well as long-time fans of Tanya Huff's Keeper's Chronicles and her Blood and Smoke books, this newest standalone makes one hope to read more in the future about the Gale girls.

SUMMARY

The bestselling author of the Blood Books delivers a masterful new urban fantasy.

Alysha Gale is a member of a family capable of changing the world with the charms they cast. Then she receives word that she's inherited her grandmother's junk shop in Calgary, only to discover upon arriving that she'll be serving the fey community. And when Alysha learns just how much trouble is brewing in Calgary, even calling in the family to help may not be enough to save the day.
