About this listen

Muddled magic. Missing faeries. She's having one spell of a day at work...

Saffron Sawyer aspires to rise from the magical world's bottom rung. But when her wish to join the renowned Office of Faery Godmothers is granted, bullies make her first day on the job unbearable. And to add to her misery, she discovers that someone is abducting her coworkers one-by-one.

Desperate to prevent another kidnapping, she scrambles to piece together the clues. After teaming up with the handsome and powerful Devil's Advocate, she uncovers a strange connection between the disappearances and her lowly former gig. But when Saffron learns her promotion was only a ploy, she vows to ruin the devious plan.

Can Saffron muster enough magic to trap the villain before she's sacked or stolen?

So much fun!

This story is great urban fantasy. I took a chance on it thinking it might be sappy and if so I would move on. Instead I enjoyed the world of fairies. Saffron is a fun main character with lots of grit. I highly recommend escaping into this story.

Pleasantly surprised!

I wasn’t sure what to expect but when I started listening to the narrator/performer I was drawn in by her fabulous accent! Then the whole concept was rather fun and I enjoyed the main character because she is very relatable! It’s a funny book on and off throughout, with a little possible romance and with a mystery to solve. I will be reading the rest of the series. It was entertaining and an escape!

Cute story

There were some things I really enjoyed about this story, and some things that really got on my nerves. I liked the mystery aspect and the determination of the main character. I liked the Devil’s Advocate. I did not enjoy the extended snark and arrogance of the coworkers or the constant grumpy anger of so many people she encountered. I really disliked the repetition of “F*** a Puck”. She said that a lot. Overall it was a nice story that is clearly the beginning of a series, but I might stand in solidarity with poor abused Puck and stop here.

Another good one from Helen Harper!

I've listen to this whole series now and it's another winner from Helen Harper. I really enjoyed this series. It has a lot of humor, suspense, and a nice romance between the main characters. The main character will make you laugh. I blew through all four of the books very quickly. Quite enjoyable!

That Was a Pleasant Surprise

I have listened to a lot of magic women on Audible's free books. This was easily among the best.

Better than expected

20 minutes in and I wanted to give up. But it got a little better and then a lot better. Glad I stuck with it.

Unique and interesting

The story started off with a good history and background. A believable fairy and heroine with flaws and optimism.

Amazing

I truly enjoyed this book. This book takes you into another world, away from reality.
I looked forward to reading more like this.

Different in a good way

The narrator does a great job which is always important.
The writer writes well, good character building, different spin on supernatural story telling which I like, the main character can be a bit much at times but overall I enjoyed this story.
