You can't put 'Just saved the world (you're welcome)' on a resume. Ask me how I know.Jude's drifting in Montreal, low on both funds and purpose. Eking out a normal life is surprisingly difficult for someone whose strongest marketable skill is her ability to manipulate gravity. Who knew landing a steady job would be a bigger challenge than hunting supernatural creatures?Then her scant few acquaintances begin turning up dead around the city, their hearts missing. All signs point to a vicious shade-a Faerie cursed to live forever in a ghoulish fate worse than death-as the culprit. But Jude's never even heard of shades before now, so why do these killings seem designed to bait her?Racing to find the answer and stop the murders brings her to old friends, new enemies and every shifty variation in-between. While risking life and limb battling a sinister Faerie monster may not be 'normal, ' it's a routine Jude knows by heart.And it beats working retail.

Half-Faerie Jude's been playing both sides of a supernatural cold war. She collects a paycheck from the Consilium for using her supernatural talents against the Faerie Court while simultaneously aiding her friend Aubrie's search for illicit magic behind their backs. Aubrie wants more than magic, though, and when Jude finds herself pitted violently against her human colleagues on his behalf, he lets her take the fall.Without Aubrie's protection, Jude's got enemies everywhere. She's ready to cut and run, preferably to a warm, sandy beach in the vicinity of "The Hell Away from This Mess," but a shady group of Court Faeries captures her first. They want her to steal the spell Aubrie's searching for. With it, he'd have power to merge the human and Faerie worlds. But if she turns it over to these alleged otherworldly allies, she could condemn the unsuspecting human world to a life of servitude under a curly-toed boot anyway.None of her options are as dependable as a strong drink with a goofy paper umbrella, but Jude's going to have to decide who to trust if she wants to make it to her beach.If you like smart, snarky, action-packed urban fantasy, check out The Flaws of Gravity.
