Publisher's summary

As a professional thief, Esme Bellerose's daylong job interview was going well: She'd come through most of it with only a black eye, bloody lip, broken wrist, a few cracked ribs, and talon marks from a ruby-throated dragon - but at least she wasn't missing any pieces. And if she could only survive until the five o'clock hour, she'd land the job that was every mystic thief's dream: employment at SPL Inc.

But the head of SPL, Elric Ostergaard, has other plans, and he's put one additional task on Esme's job application, which must be completed before he'll hire her. Namely, Elric wants the famed Faberge egg, created for the last tsarina, but stolen away by Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin. The magically infused egg has life-saving properties, and it's worth a king's ransom.

For Esme, accepting the task is easy; finding the egg after Grigori has been brutally murdered while also being forced to mentor a bullheaded mystic detective in the middle of a family squabble is the trickier part. And things just seem to get more complicated from there. But Esme has little choice. Either she brings Elric the egg, or she'll end up as dragon kibble.

Better than expected

The first chapter didn’t give me a ton of hope, I powered through the beginning and ended up finding myself disappointed that a sequel isn’t around the corner

Loved

Honestly I wasn’t sure I would like this book BUT once it started I couldn’t get enough of it. Every twist and turn leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to read the second edition in this series so hopefully there is one.

A very fun adventure into trinkets and lore

Fun and with great narration the story weaves a an interesting tale of magic, mystery, friendship, and trinkets.
Trinkets are what it’s all about.

Why isn't there a sequel?

This story was a really great read. Great world building and cast of characters. It says book one on the title page and I'm wondering what happened and why there isn't booked two and three? I hope the author someday writes more in this series.

Better than I thought it was going to be….

I didn’t know if I was going to enjoy this book, but the chapters moved fast and by the 3rd chapter I was hooked. Really looking forward to watching reading the series as it grows.
