Book Synopsis:
My name is Genny Taylor. I work for Spellcrackers.com. It's a great job, pays the rent, lets me do the thing I'm good at - finding magic and cracking it - and the bonus is it's run by witches, which stops the vamps from taking a bite out of me.
Not that vampires are the big bad any more, not since they launched a slick PR campaign - oh, and they brought the goblins on board. Now the vamps are sought-after celebrities, and Getting Fanged and taking the Gift are the new hight of all things cool. But only if you're human.
And I'm not.
I'm Sidhe fae.
And I know firsthand just how deadly a vampire can be.
First Sentence:
The vampire looked a beautiful, dangerous cliche.
