Second book in the Oddjobs series cements its place as "finally, Urban Fantasy that I really enjoy."
Unfortunately, my kindle ate my notes.
This book is full of the same fun characters we came to love in the first book:
Morag, the ginger from Scotland who accidentally copies herself. The adventures of the Morags, including tag teaming a date, were hilarious.
Rod, the prepared-for-anything action hero that has no idea where to take a woman on a date
Vivian, the "I have no tolerance for nonsense" matron who has become my favorite.
Nina, the embodiment of YOLO.
Their boss (name lost with my notes), who will not make eye contact.
But this book also gave us Steve the Destroyer - a demon trapped in a tiny ragdoll. Best. Character. Ever.

I'm not done with this book yet (nearly though) but wow. What a follow-up to a stellar first book. I finally got around to reading it and it's just as good - perhaps better?! - than the first.
My favorite aspects are the witty repartee, the references (sometimes heavy handed, sometimes oblique) to pop culture especially horror or scifi, and of course the continuing plot and recurring characters.
I was a bit crestfallen to find out there are no more books in the series yet, but happy to find out they'll be out next year!
In the meantime I plan to avail myself of Heide and Iain's copious other works.

Just what I need right now; more madcap escapades, British humour, fish porn jokes, a stone-cold sex kitten and an unearthly being forced inside a small cloth doll and nicknamed Steve the Destroyer.
Just as entertaining as the first
I loved this! It is funny while still throwing information at you from all angles. I loved Steve (that is all I'll say about that). I will say it felt a bit more... Random? They did pull it all together in the end. Totally worth the read.

This book is brilliant!
It's number 2 in a series but don't let that put you off! I will be going back to read number one but only because number two is so great!
We are placed in a slightly skewiff now where the members of the Birmingham consular mission to the Venislarn work and this is their week.
So many clever references, such a well told and witty story, please write more!
