London works for hire doing investigations mostly for parahumans, and her best friend is a vampire who keeps hoping she'll consent to being turned.  Her life isn't run-of-the-mill, but it isn't too bad either, until one day she gets Touched by a Sidhe and finds herself sucked into the Fey world bubbling just beneath the surface of the regular one.The paranormal world Archer has created uses the urban fantasy tropes but is still unique.  London is a typical kick-ass heroine.  What bumped this novella up from average to highly enjoyable for me was the use of the paranormal world to comment on the relationship between Ireland the UK.  The UK consists of Wizards, and Ireland contains the Fey.  The Fey have been persecuted by the Wizards for generations, and it is this battle that London finds herself in the middle of.  This whole concept could really go places, and I like the freedom that urban fantasy gives Archer to comment on a touchy area of international relations.Overall, I recommend this fast-paced novella to urban fantasy fans with an hour or so to kill and a kindle or other ereader handy.
