Thaisia, a North American alternate world is a world where Others and humans try not to come in contact more than necessary. They have villages sectioned off from the humans and vise versa. Human law does not apply on their land nor the other way around. Humans are meat, blood source or just an annoyance. These are animals, vampires etc, not humans nor do they want to be like humans.
In one of these Other towns a Young girl is found cold, dressed odd for the weather and in some kind of need. She asks about a job as the human liaison she see's posted. Curious, Simon the leader giver her the job. He does not know why but there is something he has to figure out about this human. She does not smell right. She learns quickly, even with the various wildlife surrounding her. Her secrets slowly unfold and brings danger to many. Who, what and where she came from is more important than they know.
I loved this book. The author weaved these interesting characters in a believable and enjoyable way. I liked getting to hear their stories and watch them learn to deal with each other. I loved the animal traits that she left with the animals and the wickedness she left to the vampire. *No sparkly, sexed up rico suave's in the bunch* This was just a fabulous urban fantasy that took me away to another place for some pleasurable hours of reading. No romance. The few bits that didn't work so much for me were lost under everything I did enjoy.
