Book Description
Genny just wants a quiet life, but when a human friend is murdered, she's the only fae in London - and the prime suspect!
Product Description
All Genny wants is to live the quiet life and to do her job at Spellcrackers.com, but there's her tangled personal life to sort out first. She's being haunted by ghosts who want her help. Her witch neighbours want her evicted. Genny's sort-of-Ex - and now her new boss - can't decide whether he wants their relationship to be business or pleasure. And then there's the queue of vampires all wanting her to paint the town red - how long will it be before they stop taking no for an answer?
But when one of her human friends is murdered by sidhe magic, Genny is determined to find the killer. She needs help to find the real murderer, and that means calling on some of the most capricious and seductive fae - but her search is hindered by the vampires, who have their own political agenda. All the evidence points to Genny - she's the only sidhe fae in London - and she's named the main suspect; it's not long before she's on the run, not just from the police, but from some of London's most powerful supernaturals.

I enjoyed book one of the Spellcrackers.com series - Cold Kiss of Death, book two is even more enjoyable.
It races along at a spellcracking speed with so many twists and turns that there is no chance to out-guess the ending before you get to it.
I love the characters, especially the Kelpie and the vampire, Malik (it really is not good to fall for a vampire, but he is rather gorgeous....)
So refreshing to read something different about vampires and magic - while all the "obligatory" elements are also cleverly woven into the story.
As an author myself I know just how hard it is to bring reality into a story - "the art of writing is creating the believable from the imaginary" - and believe me Ms McLeod has the Craft of Writing at 100% diamond level!
I have one protest.
Waiting for book three is going to be hard!

I enjoyed CKoD more than the SSoB, mainly because I felt I understood who the characters were and the world they inhabited. It felt as though a lot of the ground breaking had been done and the story could now move on and tell itself without the need for copious explanatations. The characters are interesting because they are all flawed, even our heroine Sidhe fae Genny. The series is clearly onion-like as layers are peeled away and you learn more about Genny and her family's past life. London is again realised superbly in an urban fantasy background, this time the Embankment gets the treatment.
Looking forward to No. 3 - only downside is that Spellcrackers agency doesn't really play a part.
I'd compare it to Richelle Mead's Storm Born/Thorn Queen series if anything.

Excellent second book
Second in the series and almost as good as the first. I very much enjoyed this book and the only reason it lost a star is I didn't quite like the ending. Read more

Another vamp romance
There are a lot of these being published nowadays, ranging from trite to very readable, and this author falls in the latter group, partly because the series is set in England... Read more
