THANKS SO MUCH, LASR.
I love it when you get my books to review -- because you "get" my books!
A glittering, sparkling fae who adores children, and a pest exterminator who turns into a mouse at full moon. Not the usual combination for protagonists. Did I mention that the fae (Glori) munches chocolate bars like there's no tomorrow and the exterminator (Lance Knight) trails a legion of family ghosts wherever he goes?
Both have obstacles to overcome which seem insurmountable: Glori's spells aren't working any more which means the children in her crèche are no longer protected from disease and bullying; and Lance is trapped with those ghosts until he can find a beautiful Faerie Princess to kiss him and break the spell. Glori? Nope – she's not a princess. In any case, the ghosts don't like Glori because, "she's a bleeding twinkle-butt faerie!"
Humor isn't lacking in this fast-paced story, not only overall -– for example, Glori's spells aren't working because she's in Need (rather like a dog in heat) -- but also in the details: the ghosts yelled with such force that they stunned a dozen roaches. The conflict to be resolved keeps the reader enthralled to the end: Glori's biological clock is ticking, and will Lance find his Faerie Princess in time despite being knee-tremblingly attracted to Glori?
Apart from the colony of ancestral ghosts, who are laugh out loud funny, there are few characters populating the story. However, those who are there each have his or her own foibles that endear them to the reader so that I found myself only wanting the best for them.
Once again, Ms. Levigne proves to be the most versatile of authors with a wide variety of fabulous books to her name. It seems her imagination knows no boundaries.
If I have one criticism to make about this one, it lies in being a tad predictable. There aren't any jaw-dropping revelations, nor any heart-stopping romance. But, then, it doesn't need those things because it is an easy read, just perfect for a reader in need of a feel-good, quiet, cozy afternoon story.
