Books of the fantasy or witchy world's rarely pique my interest; however, I tend to truly enjoy those whose "jacket blurbs" entice me to buy.  However, I've found that in a genre with a large younthful audience, many of these books are inappropriate for many of the younger readers; thankfully, this book is totally appropriate for a wide audience.  And I have to laugh whenever I see the phrase, Narzel-farted, the author's clever invention to supplant the more common f---ing! ...or for any other form of that word.  Would that this new exclamation might actually catch on in the real world…That said, this book was pure fun to read!  The story occurs in a world in which all the fantastical creatures of myth & fairy tale live not in hiding, but in open interaction with humans.  The heroine is a witch who works for the police department,  intervening when magic complicates criminal activities.  That's about all you really need to know now,..  the rest will be far more fun for you to learn as you read along.I can say, however, that while the story is light in nature, it has several mysteries to be solved.And the major story that persists until nearly the end is every bit as exciting as you'd expect from a realistic writer like Colleen Thompson.  This book does not disappoint!
