sparklingreader's review against another edition

In Cape Cod in the winter, what else is there to do besides fend off the advances of two love interests, her ghostly husband, a Windago, hordes of orculli trolls and an editor who wants her latest book yesterday? Tess does all this and more in this fun urban fantasy from R.R. Frost. Oh, and in addition to this, she has to figure out a way to keep her mother from marrying a demon, figure out the appearance of Windscribe, a member of her aunt’s coven who disappeared thirty years ago, but who hasn’t aged a day and keep the local law enforcement from throwing her in jail just on the principle of all the weirdness. It’s a good thing she has Scrap, her imp ally, to help her – when he isn’t busy doing other things.
This book is so full of twists and turns, you’ll be confused at times, but the story is well worth it. And you don’t even have to read the first one in the series to know what’s going on – something I absolutely adore. Though as much as I enjoyed this one, I probably will. The only problem I had with the book – and it’s a minor one – is the unhappy ending. It was the right ending for this story and I know the next one in the series will make it all right, but I was really bummed. And no, I’m not going to give it away. Well, that and my usual issue about books in series. This is very obviously part of a series as several huge lines are left unsolved. But the story is so interesting that I don’t mind – much.
The world development is well done; the characters unique, well developed and interesting. The plot is a bit convoluted, but it all works out in the end.
Other than these minor issues, I recommend this book for a fun fantasy read. It definitely kept my attention as I didn’t want to put it down. Pick up a copy today – and be sure to pick up the other(s) in the series when you can. You won’t go wrong with this one.
