A review by luckaye
The HighFire Crown by J.T. Lawrence, M.J. Kraus
4.0
A little slow to start but then the action is non-stop! If you like the Dresden Files (which I loved), you will like this book.
"Jacquelyn Denna Knight is the best wizard detective in the city. She also has the worst luck.
Her vile orc landlord is about to evict her from her haunted apartment, and she just choked on the job that was going to pay her rent. She hates that she let the money get away from her, but the satin-skirted vampire that escaped out the bordello window worries her more.
When one of the most influential elves in the Realm calls her at midnight to hire her for a job, it’s an offer she can’t refuse.
What she doesn’t know is that the new case is going to unravel her life, and she’ll get tangled up with a host of intriguing characters, most of whom are not who they appear to be. It’s also going to speed her down a path toward the most powerful vampire clan in the country, where she’ll have to put everything on the line to save the Realm."
I like that it is a fully contained story, but part of a series - can't wait to read the next book!
