Celebromancy by Michael R. Underwood
5.0
Welcome to the world of Ree Reyes, Geekomancer, bartender, and budding screenwriter. It is a life of gorgeous women, dapper men, and monsters. So many monsters. Channeling magic through the collective, obsessive love of Star Wars, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Marvel comics (and the MCU) and Magic the Gathering. Also Leverage. Must not forget Leverage. Ree is essentially like so many of my friends that slipping into her world is always a comfort and like getting to spend some time with one of them from the comfort of my home. You can almost hear the John Williams music in the background.
What can I say? I loved this book. I squeed my way through it, hardly daring to put it down for fear of not getting through it fast enough. It's a really fun read that sometimes manages to catch you off guard with the sheer awesome of the concept of geekomancy. Highly recommended.
I "read" the audio version, read by Mary Robinette Kowal, and while I always love listening to Mary, I think she is especially on point in these books. I highly recommend the audio version.
