Happy May
everybody. The rains are falling and the flowers are blooming. Spring is
lovely. So are urban fantasy books with kick ass heroines. I’m just saying.
Remember to
head over to Constantine and Baryeh’s blogs once you have finished reading my
review of Maggie for Hire.
The Blurb
When monsters
appear on Earth, Maggie MacKay is on the job. No one is better at hauling the
creepy crawlies back where they belong. No one, that is, except Maggie's dad,
who vanished in the middle of an assignment. Now, an elf named Killian has
shown up with a gig. Seems Maggie's uncle teamed up with the forces of dark to
turn Earth into a vampire convenience store, serving bottomless refills on
humans. Ah, family...
The only hope for survival lies in tracking down two magical artifacts and a secret that disappeared with Maggie's dad.

My
Review
I liked the concept of Maggie being a magical
tracker. It reminded me of female bounty hunter books, only she was really
adept at her work. The story entertained me, making me laugh in parts. I appreciated
that Maggie wasn’t invincible, knew it, and acted accordingly.
I didn’t see any chemistry between Maggie and
Killian even though it was intimated by several of the secondary characters
(who I loved). The two seemed more like they would be good friends than
anything else, and they definitely worked well together. Killian was a sweetie
where Maggie had a hard as nails edge to her. As an elf, I thought he would
have been more powerful, and dare I say it, helpful.
I really liked the way the book ended. That’s all
I’m saying about that.
I give this book three and a half church shaped
chocolate bars.
I purchased my copy from AmazonUK
Great review. I'm nodding over here. I expected so much more from Killian.
