Publisher Description
Nous sommes les soeurs D'Artigo : mi-humaines, mi-fées, agents de la CIA d'Outremonde. Etre une fée dans votre monde confère bien des avantages : nous sommes plutôt bien perçues, contrairement à nos congénères un peu moins, disons... sexy. Malheureusement, notre ascendance nous joue parfois des tours. Quand elle panique, ma s'ur Delilah se transforme en chat. Menolly, elle, est un vampire qui tente de s'adapter à sa condition. Quant à moi ? Je suis Camille... une sorcière. Sauf que ma magie est aussi imprévisible que la météo, et ça, mes ennemis vont l'apprendre à leurs dépens !
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The first in an engrossing new series about conflict in the magic modern world as told by the half-human, half-Faerie D'Artigo sisters the latest from Galenorn (One Hex of a Wedding) is a whimsical reminder of fantasy's importance in everyday life. Narrator Camille is a good witch with unpredictable powers who runs a Seattle bookstore while working as an Otherworld Intelligence operative, sent Earthside to keep an eye on things. When an operative from the Wayfaerer, a human/Faerie hangout, is killed, Camille springs into action with her sisters Delilah, a werecat, and Menolly, a freshly minted vampire. Tracing the murder back to evil demon leader Shadow Wing, the sisters find evidence of a far-reaching plot, but the Otherworld Intelligence Agency offers no help, stifled by bureaucratic red tape and a nasty Otherworld battle. Galenorn's gallery of rogues is an imaginative delight, each species and personality carefully crafted. Though the plot can drag, effusive characters and pretty writing ("I whispered, and the stars heard me from behind their cloud cover and answered") will lead readers through to the much-anticipated final battle.
