Genny, the main character, is cursed. It's not the normal
sort of curse one might think of right away, but a fertility
curse. As such, Genny is receiving suitors left and right
who are literally vying for her womb. That is not all that
Genny must worry about, however, as a murder turns up has
her joining forces with the ornery DI (whose ex she is
dating). As awkward as the situation is, Genny is determined
to solve the mystery and keep all of the suitors at bay. She
finds out that solving a mystery is not as easy as it
appears and may uncover some other long-forgotten pasts and
secrets.
Overall, the author does an excellent job of bringing the
reader up to speed on what occurred during the first two
books in the series. There are times, however, where the
reader will be forced to look back at a scene or two to
reread them. The reader will take an instant liking to
Genny; she can be funny, sarcastic, and witty. The author
does a good job of handling the character dynamics in the
book, the reader will have fun watching their relationships
shift and change as different events occur. The DI, Helen,
clearly does not like Genny and this leads to a few humorous
scenes with the potential for "awkward."
The scenes are fast-paced and the plot is enjoyable. The
reader will find their attention is sucked in and held from
page one, this is not an easy book to put down. Fans of
Suzanne McLeod should run to the library or bookstore for
this latest installation.
For once, Genny's life seems quiet. Her sexy boss isn't
pushing for a decision
on their relationship, and the witches have declared that
she is no longer a
threat. But when a teenaged faeling is fished out of the
River Thames and
another disappears, Genny finds herself in a race to stop a
curse from taking
its next victim.
