Publisher's summary

Newly promoted Detective Jace Smithson has his hands full with solving the murders of ten men and the kidnapping of a unicorn capable of producing diamonds. On the surface, the crime appears to be a classic tale of greed and violence, but digging deeper reveals something sinister has come to Cauldron City.

Securing the safety and security of those he swore to protect is only the beginning of Jace's problems. Add in his relationship with the dragons of Cauldron City along with a few personal secrets, and he's the ideal target for the killer. Surviving to tell the tale will test his wit and skills in ways he never thought possible.

But if he wants to obtain justice for the wronged, he will have to face his challenged beliefs and come to terms with the darker realities of the city he calls home.

I love the world building with a side of snark.

Looking for a snarky Unicorn, we've got you covered.
I've listened to this 3 times now and I've enjoyed it more each time.
The underlying crime being investigated is gruesome, and isn't finalised here. Nicely balanced by fluff, a dragon who should never be allowed to prepare food unsupervised, and the answer to what unicorns truly poop.
Magic and magical creatures are known to exist and work along side humans in many roles.
Urban fantasy, check.
Comedy, check.
Murder mystery, check.
House hunting with a dragoness for a place to call two book hoards home, check.
Fun, somewhat wish-fullfilment story but done so very well. 6/5

Super fun

Wild and crazy magical police procedural. I loved it. It takes you on a wildly roller-coaster ride and is a super fun read.

Unnecessary chapter headings

I loved the story, characters, and narration and look forward to the next book. The constant repetitive chapter headings really took me out of the story though. It was especially annoying when the setting was still the same as the previous chapter. It's not as big a deal in print because it's easy to skim past but listening to them gets annoying fast.
