Something different

It's an unusual mix of a Gordon Ramsey cooking show antics and a dark Buffy verse or Dresden files urban fantasy. All I can say for sure it's fun though short - more of a novella which the description doesn't make clear. I certainly haven't encountered anything like it but it was fun.

4 stars. Wow, this was a romp of a book. It's also a little bit crazy. The 'foodie vibe' is pretty well done, and there are some humorous notes. There's also some gore, some gross, and some violence, but all in good fun, right?

A deft, humorous contemporary fantasy novella with a number of hilarious twists (and a warning for coulrophobes). I'd have loved more time spent in Lena and Darren's space, so I'm hoping further installments in the series deliver that! Pro tip: grab a super-size quantity of your fast food of choice before reading.

Kokad ja deemonid ja inglid, kellest tuleks praadi teha ja hiidkanad ja zombiklounid ja mis kõik veel - kõlab mingi järjekordse janditamisena, aga lugu on kiire ja kerge ja lõbus ja mõjub nagu mõni Buffy komöödiaosa ja tõsi, lõpuks tuligi välja, et autor on Whedoni-sõber.

So turns out I love urban fantasy and I didn't know it, this truly is the year to realise things!

Onto the book now. If books appeared in secret menus, this would be an entry in it.
I'm even sad that it was so short! This was a fun read because it delivered on every aspect needed: Food, eldritch horrors, a secret restaurant, alchemy, it has EVERYTHING.

And now I'm dying to eat chicken nuggies.

Best way to reach my challenges' milestone.

Quick, funny read. At times it felt like there wasn't enough character development, and way too much stuff happened for the number of pages. But I enjoyed it and loved the fast-paced action.
