About this listen
What happens when exquisitely beautiful elves start getting all the roles in Hollywood? Human actors sue, that's what. In a desperate attempt to keep the squabbling inside the Screen Actors Guild from going public, the president of SAG forces the two sides into arbitration. Enter Linnet Ellery, a human lawyer working for a vampire law firm, to serve as arbitrator.
Linnet discovers that there are sinister forces at work in Tinsel Town, determined to shatter the fragile peace between elves, vampires, werewolves, and humans. Someone has been coercing famous elven actors into committing sudden and terrible acts of violence against humans in a series of tragedies that could turn the tide of public opinion against all the supernatural Powers. During the course of her investigations, Linnet realizes that a puzzling secret surrounds her, and that a strange power has been affecting the very course of her life.
©2013 Melinda Snodgrass (P)2013 Audible, Inc.This was an easy and enjoyable read. Linnet shows us a different way of viewing and working with #vampires, #werewolves and #elves. She is an unbelievably, strong woman, trying to make make it in the top heavy male/vampire driven career and world she has chosen. Then to have the rug pulled out from under her by coworkers, friends, and family. She really finds out the strength hidden within! #mysteries

Book Two of the Linnet Elvery series picks up about 6 months after the events in Book One. The story is based in Los Angeles. Linnet and David work a case out of the firms' LA offices.
This was a good opportunity for a female writer to write of a female lead that actually encompasses the essence of a strong independent female with minimal cliches. Unfortunately, we get pages of wardrobe drama, diet trends, "I'm too short" comments, etc.
I'm torn with this one. Linnet is supposed to be smart. And not just regular smart, but fancy pansy Yale Graduate smart. I'm not sure what they teach at Yale, but common sense doesn't seem to be in the curriculum.
The author tells us that Linnet is intelligent and witty but that's being forced fed into being and doesn't actually come across in the actions or decisions of the character.
We are repeatedly told about John's sacrifice. We are repeatedly told about Linnet being fostered... over and over again.
This series constantly tells the reader that Linnet is a Yale graduate third in her class blah blah blah... other than an interview at no time in my life, have I said to random people "Can I get a baked potatoe instead of fries and by the way I graduated 12th in my Class with a Masters Degree in Education. Also, I'd like a sweet tea and I'm currently working on my Doctorate in Education. No ice please." That's annoying. Please don't have that in the next book.
If you have any interest in Horses or Hollywood, then you'll find interest in this story. Our main character is a lawyer, but she acts more as a detective in this book. I don't see any true feminist or plot-attracted readers falling in love.
3 Stars 🌟🌟🌟- Good Book. I like the overall concept and it was delivered well. Most common ranking for a book I enjoyed and look forward to the next
