Yay. What a crazy journey!
Hannah has led a very rich and comfortable life, but now she is on her own, and is out job-hunting.
“Publication seeks desperate human being with capability to form sentences using the English language. No imbeciles, optimists or Simons need apply.”
The publication in question is The Stranger Times - ghosts, UFO’s, you name it, they write about it. A job interview from hell with a boss from hell (Banecroft, ha) follows.
“I’m sorry, do I not have your full attention?”
“Apologies, I was slightly distracted by your office now being on fire.”
She gets the job, of course. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a book 😁 There is a lot of hilarious stuff and the conversations are great. This is a very quick read, but I tried not to go through it too fast – it’s easy to overdose on this kind of humour, it is so for me, at least.
I liked how Hannah was gaining confidence through the book, learning to handle the boss from hell and her co-workers.
“I’m not some dog you can train to do tricks for food, y’know?
“No, you’re a big scary dragon – but I’m the woman with doughnuts. So, you can try for basic manners or you can just be you and go hungry. The choice is yours.”
The characters were very nicely written. I didn’t expect that going in, considering the genre, so it was a pleasant surprise.
You can’t have a newspaper writing about paranormal stuff in a book without weird paranormal stuff beginning to happen. Right? Right. It’s quite scary and heartbreaking, but it does go together with the humour, the author makes it work. (Kudos to the author.) The journalists investigate, the police investigate, and things get exciting. You fly and fly and fly through the book!
There are some unanswered questions by the end, so it’s nice to know that there are more books in this series.

While the story takes a bit of time to get rolling, it's a fun fantasy mystery that builds up some enjoyable lore and has a delightful cast of characters that are fun to get to know. After finishing it, it definitely feels like there's a lot more in this world still to explore! Breezed through this, was an easy, flowing read.
