Selkies Are a Girl's Best Friend by Molly Harper
4.0
Selkies are a Girl's Best Friend
4 Stars
A significant improvement on the previous installment.
Sonia Fong, the preternaturally efficient office manager for the League in Mystic Bayou, is astounded at her attraction to sexy, Will Carmody, a physician who has returned to help the residents of his small hometown. Sonia and Will initially rub each other the wrong way as they allow their prejudices to get the better of them, but they have great chemistry and complement each other very well. The eventual conflict is rather contrived and glossed over quickly; nevertheless, their relatively angst-free relationship is satisfying overall
Although the mystery and culprit are quite obvious, the suspense plot is interesting, and there is a significant development in the ongoing arc focusing on the Rift in Mystic Bayou. It will be interesting to see where Harper takes this.
The secondary cast is wonderful as always and I adore the interactions between Zed and Dani, Bael and Jillian as well as the developments in their storylines. Will's brother, Jon, is also very intriguing and I look forward to his book.
All in all, the Mystic Bayou series is light and fun, and Amanda Ronconi and Jonathan Davies narration are delightful.
