Customer Reviews
Fun urban fantasy
Like others, I am listening to the podcast version which is at chapter three right now. I'm enjoying the book a lot. The premise is fun--a book editor named Zoe who had to leave another publishing house returns to New York City to find a dream job. The opportunity arises when she runs across an opening at a new publisher in New York City looking to make travel guides. Zoe had started a successful, off-beat travel guide series at the first publisher. The thing with the new publisher is they are fantasy creatures like vampires and zombies, etc. So they don't think she will fit in. She has a lot of intestinal fortitude and looks like she will get the job. I just hope she gets to keep her intestines intact!
Very entertaining; Looking forward to the next episode!
Enjoying this story very much so far. I love her sense of humor, and the interesting characters. Mur does a great job not only with the writing, but also as a reader. I can hardly wait for the next installment!
Fun and clever
I've enjoyed previous Lafferty books and this is another great one. I'm not sure if I can wait for each installment, though. I might have to head over to Audible and get the full audiobook
