Publisher's summary

In near-future New Orleans, draugar, again-walkers, are faster and stronger than most humans but not venomous until they are a century old. Until then, they shamble and bite. Since not everyone wants to see their relatives end up that way, Geneviève Crowe makes her living beheading the dead.

But now, her magic's gone sideways, and the only person strong enough to help her is the one man who could tempt her to think about picket fences: Eli Stonecroft, a faery who chose bar-owner in New Orleans over a life in Elphame.

When human businessmen start turning up as draugar, both the queen of the again-walkers and the wealthy son of one of the victims hire Geneviève to figure it out. She works to keep her magic in check, the dead from crawling out of their graves, and enough money for a future that might be a lot longer than she'd like.

Neither her heart nor her life are safe now that she's juggling a faery, murder, and magic.

Really good

I was reading surprised how much I enjoyed this book. Our MC is a strong women with a good head on her shoulders. We follow along with her on this murder mystery as she solves who’s been killing prominent men in New Orléans.

Fun and what I needed

I recommend this book to anyone who likes light fantasy. It was a little difficult to follow and I saw the twists coming immediately. I really like that this book focuses on an adult women rather than a teenager the way so much YA does. I like the creep factor of the dead walking among us. Some of it is a bit repetitive. I’m giving it a 5/5 total because I listened to it in 2 sittings and it brought me joy. I look forward to the next book in this series.
