I enjoyed this book. It's definitely more of a beach read for me than I typically read. That said it was a fun urban fantasy and I'm excited to finish out the series.
Adam is a warlock who has very tenuous relationships with his family. He's looking for his dad who left the family a long time ago and he's pretty certain is now making objects from magical people's bones. Get the text from his brother that his sister-in-law is ill and he goes to Denver to try to figure out what's going on.
His family is never really accepted him for who he is both as a warlock and as a gay man. His brother has done everything he can in his power to exercise the white trashness from his personality and his public image.
In this world we've got Fey, leprechauns, dragons, and much more. It feels like a lived in world.
There's a love triangle. Adam's ex-boyfriend who dumped him without telling him and Adam's new love interest who is a cop that Adam saved.
All in all, it was a fun read that touched on growing up gay in rural America, family Dynamics and family secrets, and becoming who you were meant to be.
