Instead of a quiet dance retreat where she could escape the insanity of being the daughter of an angel, a succubus, and a lycanthrope, Emma Sansaul plummets into the middle of murder, mayhem, and mischief. As becoming the next victim of a crazed serial killer is not on her itinerary, she's left with no choice but to join forces with Agent Kenneth Bernard to find the murderer, the one man on Earth capable of making her hissing mad one second and in need of a cold shower the next.
Warning: This novella contains humor, romance, magic, puns, bodies, and a short detour from reality. No plots were harmed in the making of this story.

Clearly, the author doesn't take any of these books too seriously. They have a silly premise. They're usually pretty short. And there is significant overlap in terms of themes and story elements. Even though each book usually features characters hybridized from different magical species, a lot of the same plot points persist.
The lycanthropy virus comes up a lot, especially here in this installment. The author previously established that angels can only reproduce with humans if there is a demon involved, so the author combined those ideas and created this protagonist who has a triad of parents made up of a lycanthrope, an angel, and a succubus. The protagonist is a swan lycanthrope, but has not achieved her first shift yet.
Characters in this series often start out as virgins. Not every book, but maybe a third of all these books include that as a plot point. So, again, our protagonist is a virgin.
For some reason people never have boring, loving relationships with their parents. Parents are always teasing and scheming, and people are always trying to "get" each other. No one is ever solemn, or loving in an offhand, uneventful kind of way. Parents are never just quietly supportive.
Government intervention comes up a lot, but usually in the form of the CDC showing up and being way more hands on than they are in real life. This installment was a little different in that, even though there was so much talk about having the protagonist's viral levels checked, the CDC didn't really appear. Instead, the author transitioned to using the FBI as the miracle organization that would provide all the money and vacation time and hotel rooms that the characters could ever want.
This protagonist is secretly a licensed attorney while she otherwise works as a professional dancer. Her love interest is an FBI agent. I am a lawyer, and I interviewed with the FBI, so I know a great deal about these things. There were moments where I thought the author understood what she was talking about, but other moments were a real head scratcher. The author correctly referred to the protagonist having a JD (Juris Doctor). But, then the protagonist said something about how she knew she didn't want to be a lawyer in her third year, and her mother gave her advice about focusing on a minor she could really love.
Law school is only 3 years, but you get your JD in 3 years AFTER you have already gotten a bachelor's degree. In the United States, anyway. When you're earning your JD, there is no longer any talk of majors or minors. Law school is just law school. The conversation about a minor would only make sense if the protagonist had been in undergrad at that point. So, this paraphrased conversation didn't make a whole lot of sense. Unless you interpret it as the protagonist was majoring in political science like a lot of prospective law students, and she chose to minor in dance, and the protagonist was just acting like it was a foregone conclusion that she was on the path to going to law school even while she was a junior in undergrad?
I dunno.
Also, the whole FBI hiring process was laughably wrong here. There are at least 4 phases to the hiring process, some of which require tests, and one of those tests I'm legally not allowed to talk about in any detail. There is eventually a physical exam you have to pass (running a mile and a half in 12 minutes and 24 seconds, last I checked, is included). After you have passed all the tests and interviews, you have to train at Quantico. The protagonist clearly skipped over a bunch of these processes, though it was vaguely alluded that she might still train at Quantico. Still. It was weird.
I liked that there was a serial killer here. But this story was too short to really squeeze all the enjoyment out of that plot point. Dead bodies appeared out of nowhere, there were VERY few suspects, and it all got resolved too quickly. I know that this is a "Magical Romantic Comedy," but I could have really enjoyed a longer, more serious story about hunting a serial killer.

Another addition to the series and one with a link to a later story.

R. J. Blain is a very hit-or-miss author for me. When she's writing about crazy situations that the characters get themselves into, the stories can be hilarious. When she's writing dialogue, they are torturous. And when she tries to explain how the magic works, the contorted explanations don't always make sense. I like the world she's built, and I like the slapstick, crazy-mishaps humor. I HATE the repetitive dialogue. If two characters have a conversation, then one of the characters calls a third character, under no circumstances should the reader be subjected to the first and third character having the exact same conversation the first and second character JUST HAD. The author does this ALL THE TIME. It's infuriating to read. Every time I read a passage where she makes this mistake, I waiver on whether it's really worth it to keep buying and reading the stories in this series. When she does focus on action, they can be really funny, but ONLY when she cuts down on dialogue and focuses on action. Her dialogue is MUCH too repetitive and all the characters have the exact same sense of humor. I'm on the fence.
This one is a murder mystery at a dance retreat in a fancy hotel. The heroine has 2 moms and a dad who are top-tier meddlers: an angel, a succubus, and a swan shifter. The heroine hasn't shifted yet, but will eventually. The succubus mom took her out to a bar and doused her with high-grade pixie dust prior to the beginning of this story. At the police station, a hot detective met her while she was high. Here's a problem with the writing: this hilarious scene is described briefly as something that happened before the story. It should have been the beginning of the story, and spelled out more. The author takes shortcuts like that too often, favoring bad dialogue over funny action. Anyway, the heroine is a professional dancer and both she and the detective end up at dance camp, but don't get to do much dancing because dancers are dropping dead left and right, and all of them resemble her. She gets recruited to help solve the mystery.

short but sweet
I really enjoy the background world in this universe - it’s one of the main reasons I am sticking with this series. The inventiveness of the magic system, the lycanthropes and the other denizens make it worth reading. Plus, they are funny, if repetitive. Fade to black, if that’s your thing.

I read all of Ms. Blain's work...but these are THE BEST!
This series of books has it all. A huge dose of humor, GREAT characters, and yes... a body count-through not in the splashy-gory of so many books. These are like candy. I preorder all of them, and gobble them up immediately. Then, iI go back and rread them all when I want a good giggle or am feeling down and need a lift for my spirit. They really are that good!
In this one, the main character, Emma, is a ballerina, who really reakky doesn't want to follow in her father's 'lawlerly' foot steps. But a vacation to Boulder for a dance retreat leads to a disaster as a serial killer is apparently stalking and killing women who look like her. Add in a pain-in-the-feathers FBI Agent, her totally insane parents (an angel, a succubus and a lycanthrope walk into a bar......ROFL) and not being able to actually Dance (who has time when the FBI decides you ... well,read it yourself!) And any little birdy will get her feathers ruffled!
Do yourself a favor and READ this series of tales! You won't regret it .... and the author will be encouraged to keep writing them! PLEASE??? You really will love them!

Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to have both angel and succubus as a mom with a lycanthrope as a dad? Emma Sansaul can tell you all about it. All Emma wants is to have some alone time from her family and dance at her week long retreat. Instead she's stuck helping an annoying FBI agent solve a murder, dealing with her folks trying to sell her off to said agent and keeping her own hands off of said agent. I did find the story a bit jumpy and had to read two of the scenes a couple of times to see where the author was taking us. I do enjoy this series and find them a nice departure from every day life.
This series is irreverent, full of snark and the laughs are contagious, much like the virus that runs rampant through the stories.

It was ok. I didn't like the main characters or Emma's family.

Emma is a professional dancer and reluctantly trained lawyer going on a dance retreat to unwind between gigs. At the airport, she bumps into her longtime secret crush.
Kenneth is an FBI Agent that once arrested her in a bar for being under the influence of high grade fairy dust.
And wouldn't you bet it. They are on the same plane... and seated next to each other... and he's going to the same dance retreat too. Oh bother!
They arrive at the hotel to find her room was over booked, leading Mr FBI to offer to share his fancy 2 bedroom hotel room.
Very soon, other dancers start dying and the pair get caught up in the search of the killer. All the victims look eerily like Emma.
To make matters even worse, her parents are on the matchmaking warpath. Oh, and she's a shapeshifter who hasn't had her first shift yet.
Life is just too embarrassing.

This is the first book in the series I have read.
Honestly, I should not have enjoyed this book (and others in the series I have now read) as much as I did. The writing is fine. The characters are attractive and relatable.
There is a lot of worldbuilding, but it is more than a bit bewildering.
I am not going to try to reprise the plot. The plot is fun, but slight.
So MUCH of the story is deeply implausible. No, you do not land in the FBI like that. The murder mystery ended almost before it began, and there was no detection involved. And the murderer had no real reason for a lot of the actions.
All of the books seem to have at least one family of a protagonist chock for up rather crazed (but mostly delightful) characters.
I am continuing to read the series. It is now a guilty pleasure for me. They really make little sense, but are a lot of fun.

Oh, this was a fun one. Emma's parents are a Lycanthrope, Angel, and Succubus. She's doing her best to live her life on her own terms, but they make that difficult at times.
Kenneth was the cop who arrested her when one of her moms tricked her into taking high grade pixie dust. He's been smitten with her ever since, and calls her Jail Bird :).
Emma's going on vacation to a Dance Retreat, when she sits next to Kenneth on the plane ... and realizes he's going to the same place. "Overbooking" has her sharing his suite, and becoming his dance partner for the week. However, after the 2nd dead body ... that both look a lot like her, he's brought in to the case & she's assigned as his partner.
Super fun book, and I think these two might show up in a future book or two.

We're still on serial killers but this book gets back to the humor I loved in the first books.
Can the daughter of an angel, succubus and swan lycanthrope find a way to live her life without her interfering and overprotective parents butting in? Emma's dad wants her to be a lawyer like him but her joy is dancing. On the way to a well deserved break at a dancer's retreat, she runs into the FBI agent her succubus mom had embarrassed her with. They keep getting thrown together but then a murder pulls them away from fun and games.

In general, I do like RJ Blaine’s stories. The premise is generally fun, and there are some funny moments. But... everything is too chaotic (not hard to follow - chaos for no good reason), and the characters always seem too alike, which means interactions aren’t that satisfying. The main character could just talk to themselves and very little would change.
Finally, a particular hate of mine is the virgin finding their true love. I understand that she has written it into the universe, but seriously not a fan.

What a treat to wake up to. As always these make me laugh and there’s one released a month? Yay, although I missed the owl one so gotta fix that. The humour and character creation is perfect. Could’ve been a little longer but apart from that it was a great, fun read. A parental triad of angel, succubus and lycanthrope, a serial killer and a provoking FBI agent. Can’t wait to see what combinations come up next.

Any book that's what she calls a romcom is wonderful funny! Her other books are really great.
This was another book I could not put down. Read fast right after finishing yesterday's. I don't know or care when I get something done. I love all the ways she's enhanced the paranormal world her own way. Some of it is just hysterical! I loved everyone but the expected bad person. I'm glad she publishes a book a month, but I'm greedy. I want one a week!!

The very idea that the FBI would give an agent who works in narcotics and a woman with NO police experience at all (lawyers do not have forensic experience!) a case involving a serial killer who is OBVIOUSLY targeting them is ludicrous! Also, why didn't the supposed ANGEL notice "her" (they have no heads OR genitals, so how the heck did it have a baby?) daughter was kidnapped by a serial killer?

Basic plot: Emma just wants to dance, but keeps running into a pain in the ass FBI agent, and then a series of dead bodies.
I liked the premise of this one, and the humor was on point. Emma's family situation cracked me up. That said, the execution of the plot gave me pause. There were plot holes big enough to drive a truck through, and it really made it hard to suspend my disbelief. I found myself thinking about the plot problems more than the plot, and that is no fun.

Would you like to be called "jail bird"? As a nickname, I am not enthused. For a girl who wants to be a professional dancer and yet has a particularly involved law degree, for our heroine, this nickname is so wrong it's right. The author has such a twisted imagination - throwing our heroine and the man interested in her into a murder investigation!? I have to admit - they came out of this knowing each very well. Such a twisted courtship.....

Short
Im disappointed. The first book in the stores was interesting, but this one is so short. And really doesn't have any character growth. You get some background on the characters and some of the weird craziness and books over. They don't get to know eachother, no real mystery in the investigation just done....
I felt the author could have done better, and more but just didn't put her heart into it and just wanted to sell a book....

Going down hill as the series progresses
The first couple in the series were amusing, the last several progressively less so and this book was just plain boring. Lack of any form or relationship development, very weak plot, would be horrible to read without others in the series to explain the world context

The one thing that always gets me about these books is how incredibly unrealistic they are. They are fun and fluffy and often cause several actual LOL moments, but they are so far beyond reality that reading them makes me mentally roll my eyes so often I give myself a headache.
However, they are an excellent escape from reality, which is nothing to sniff at this day and age.

EXCELLENT as Always 😁
I absolutely Love this series and have to force myself not to read all of the books at one time 😃. So much action, so many bodies, crazy characters that leave you begging for more 😉. Thanks again R.J. you're stories are truly AWESOME and I can't wait to read more 🤓.

This is a light, fun and quirky novella. There is a serial killer to catch but most of the book is about Emma, a swan lycanthrope, and Kenneth the FBI agent who arrested her once. The world is a bit crazy with lots of different supernatural creatures thrown in. I like these books for the high level of fun and there is always an HEA.

Yes, this book has the same jokes as all the other books, lots of Jokes about kidnapping love interests and murdering annoying family members. When you read a bunch of these in a row, you notice all the characters are just a variation on a theme. And it doesn't feel quirky or different or unique when every new character is the same.
However, I liked this one better than a lot of them. Probably cause it was a really quick listen, and also cause the murder mystery part and conclusion of the plot felt like it was plucked right out of a Giallo movie, which I found somewhat amusing.
Is it good? Nah, not really... but this one was serviceable and annoyed me less than many of the others.

Fowl Play (Magical Romantic Comedies #5.5) by R.J. Blain – A dancer with a secret law degree just wants to go on vacation to a dance retreat in Colorado. Too bad her family, her arresting officer’s boss, and a serial killer are making her dream rather complicated. I love the chaos in these books! Happy Reading!

Great Story!
Great story! I really enjoyed every aspect of this story. The characters are extremely amusing, the mystery had me guessing right up until the end and seeing how everything wrapped up was extremely gratifying. I hope we are more books with these characters!

A quick and fun read. A FBI investigator who can dance, a heroin with a triad for parents ( an angel, a succubus, and a lycanthrop swan).... add in a serial killer and you have a magical romantic romp with a satisfying body count.

An angel a succubus and a swan... sounds like the start of a joke
I do truly enjoy the interaction of characters, the way the storyline flows. I like the fact that the world knows about all the supernatural beings

The drop in the middle (as in the use of magic means to suddenly skip from the middle of developing plot to its conclusion) is a little to obvious for my comfort... But otherwise an enjoyable imaginative novella, like the rest of the series.

Loved this book. Another hit. The family dynamic is hilarious. Hope we get to see these characters again in the future, even in passing (I want to know how many chicks get spawned).
