A review by linguisticali
Storm in a Teacup by Emmie Mears
4.0
An enjoyable new urban fantasy series. The pacing felt somewhat uneven (with some of the main events described in the blurb only happening halfway through the book), but overall a fun and compelling read.
One small thing I particularly liked is the way the book emphasised consent any time it came to sex, and common romance tropes I was worried were unavoidable were neatly side-stepped in favour of prioritising consent.
I listened to the audiobook version (read by Amber Benson), which I recommend. There were some voices which weren't wonderfully done (Hazel's springs to mind in particular), but it was a pleasant listening experience that kept me engaged.
