Something is wrong with the trolls in the world, and the main character Ves is willing to do whatever it takes to solve the mystery. She's strong-willed, convicted, intelligent, and doesn't shy away from the challenge even when she appears to meet a dead end. Ves does appreciate the physical attraction of her partner, Jay, who has more skills than she initially expects when they start working together. Together with a representative from the troll court, they're looking for the key to unlock this mystery and to stop the wane of magic.

All in all, this book is a very quick, light, adult modern fantasy read. The characters are relateable with their quirks. This was a perfect read for a long drive, as it was easy to follow without requiring a lot of brain power to focus on what's being read.
