Mob Rules by Cameron Haley
Magic, mayhem, a sorcerer, a jinn, faeries, a piskie, and death. Dominica didn't like combination, but what's a chief trouble shooter to do do but deal with it?
I first met Dominica in the book Harvest Moon, a collection of short stories put together by Harlequin under their Luna imprint. Her story was my favorite in that collection, so I was happy to find this book available on Net Galley for review.
Harlequin/Luna has already published this book in trade paperback,so you can pick up your own copy right away.
Ms. Haley's characters are tough. Dominica has magic powers, barters for the other skills she needs and will fight to the death to protect her boss and do her job. She has the ability to walk between worlds and she's smart. But is she smart enough? The boss' son is showing a romantic interest in her, the faeries are trying to break through into her world, and there's a major conflict coming up.
I find the magic in these stories is almost believable (keep in mind I like fantasies) and the plot is well thought out and pretty complex. It'll keep you reading - I finished it in one night!
I'll be watching for the next book in this series. This story is too good to just stop here. Check out your local bookstore and pick up a copy for yourself. If you like action/fantasy/romance, this one will please you. I highly recommend it!
