Storm in a Teacup by Emmie Mears
4.0
I borrowed this book via Kindle Unlimited, but purchased the Audible audio for an extra $1.99. It was definitely worth it. Amber Benson does a great job for the audio.
I also really enjoyed the story. It's a very different take on demons and the like that I've ever read before. So I was really pleased with that part.
However, I was taken out of the story no less than eight times because the author described a side character as having a "cabbage-y" or "cabbage-like" face at least that many times throughout the book. There was never a different description of his face. Why not "wrinkly" or "pudgy" or "fleshy" or something like that? It was really jarring to hear the same description many times.
I think I will be continuing along with the series, because the story really is interesting. I hope in the next few novels the side character gets a different description, though.
