I rarely review books. I just gobble down as many as I can between work. It's been increasingly harder to find good books this past year. This book had everything I like in my stories; a strong heroine, interesting world building, a tad of romance, and a continuously moving plot without any of the dreaded lulls in storytelling. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and never got bored or had to stop and go back to see if I missed something. There were a few grammatical and spelling errors (mostly commas in the wrong place and me instead of my a few times) but the book was so good that was easy to overlook. I'll try to give a brief description since that's what I look for in a review.The heroine Michelle is a witch that grew up clanless and that is a bit of a sore subject with her. Her character is string and clearly written.  She has recently built her own business assisting the police with various magical problems. From time to time you catch glimpses of possible political intrigue as the world building continues. Elron (I hope I spelled his name right) is an old elf who lost his mate two hundred years ago, but, finds himself intrigued by Michelle. Unfortunately they don't get off to a great start! Someone has freed some trolls and it's Michelle's job to track them. But, for some reason her sophisticated spells aren't working; and the assistant deputy seems to have it out for her. She learns who her farther is but is still left in the dark about why they kept this info from her all these years. I think Elron has the whole story now. Anyway, I highly recommend this book; get ready for a light but fun read!
