This book combines urban fantasy with cosmic horror and a whole lot of fun. Freelance magic operative Julie is the perfect mix of mayhem and self-destructive tendencies that are needed for any good monster hunter/supernatural detective, who needs to get ahead in their career. Despite this, she often finds herself screwed over by stingy costumers or her ex-boyfriend taking credit for her work. When a good friend of hers shows up needing a place to stay to escape her abusive ex, Julie realizes something's got to change.
The story is fast paced and travels through New York, from law firms at Wall Street to bachelorette parties for women pregnant with many, many little monsters that want to eat the guests. The romance is also adorable and very sweet and something I enjoyed a lot. There's even a magic little bookstore (even if the books they sell can bring about the end of the world).
The horror is also wonderful, gross, gorey and disgusting, cosmic and all encompassing and one of my favorite parts of this novel. Definitely something for fans of the macabre. I also really adored the narration in the audio book, the sarcasm was amazing!
So if you're looking for a gorey sapphic story that deals with the gritty and darker parts of magic check this one out.
