Publisher's summary
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.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

Meet Jessica Jones: retired superhero, private investigator, loner. She tried her best to be a shiny spandex crimefighter, but that life only led to unspeakable trauma. Now she avoids that world altogether and works on surviving day-to-day in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. The morning a distraught mother comes into her office, Jessica would prefer to nurse her hangover and try to forget last night’s poor choices. But something about Amber Randall’s story strikes a chord with her. Amber is adamant that something happened to her teenage twins while they were visiting their father in the UK.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

This Series Is Going to Ensnare You.
This Series Is Going to Ensnare You.
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

A thrilling follow-up
I was so happy to have found this series! It has a unique twist on the Urban Fantasy trope, but definitely not boring. Yes, it had a bit more legalese than what I’m used to but it was interesting.
Good plot development and amazing characters.
The narrator was really good, too!

Liked the book more than I thought I would
A little slow in places but overall really enjoyable. Narrator was a little unnatural--quite a bit of affectation in her voice. Looking forward to the next one.

Repeat Offender
By: Phillipa Bornikova
Narrator: Therese Plummer
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

Excellent
This is a very compelling series. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to them. Especially this last one. My only regret is that there isn't the next book to read. So please, Phillipa Bornikova keep this series alive with more books.
