Trouble with Fate
Leigh Evans
My name is Hedi Peacock and I have a secret. I'm not human, and I have the pointy Fae ears and Were inner-bitch to prove it. As fairy tales go, my childhood was damn near perfect, all fur and magic until a werewolf killed my father and the Fae executed my mother. I've never forgiven either side. Especially Robson Trowbridge. He was a part-time werewolf, a full-time bastard, and the first and only boy I ever loved. That is, until he became the prime suspect in my father's death…
Today I'm a half-breed barista working at a fancy coffee house, living with my loopy Aunt Lou and a temperamental amulet named Merry, and wondering where in the world I'm going in life. A pretty normal existence, considering. But when a pack of Weres decides to kidnap my aunt and force me to steal another amulet, the only one who can help me is the last person I ever thought I'd turn to: Robson Trowbridge. And he's as annoyingly beautiful as I remember. That's the trouble with fate: Sometimes it barks. Other times it bites. And the rest of the time it just breaks your heart. Again…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hedi Peacock is half-Fae and half-werewolf and has spent her life on the run from the Fae who abducted her brother and murdered her parents. As an adult, she works at Starbucks and lives with her mentally unstable Aunt Lou and a living magical amulet called Merry. Hedi's love interest is a werewolf named Robson Trowbridge, whom she has been obsessed with since childhood, and whom to his real horror she literally molests in his sleep. The moment Robson walks into the room, Hedi becomes a catty stereotype, snarling "skank" and "ho" at every other woman in sight and even at her own lusty "inner were." As a fantasy novel, the book is frustrating; the description of Hedi's past and her magical Mystwalking abilities is hugely rushed in favor of romance. As a romance, it's a dismal failure; Hedi and Robson don't act like they like each other. The result is uneven and unsatisfying.
