Magic, monsters, and minor gods are all just part of a day's work at the Reality Defense Agency. What's new is Tillie being stalked in her dreams. Now she faces something a bit bigger than a chupacabra or a drunken leprechaun, and it wants her dead.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After a childhood spent in two countries and three states, but mostly in San Diego, P.L. now lives in Dallas, Texas, where it seems that half of every day is spent in a car on Central Expressway, driving to or from a restaurant. Somehow in between all of that rush-hour traffic (they're all rush hours!), P.L. writes books and dreams of a life just slightly to the left of this one, where everything strange is somehow true.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just one step to the weird...
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2017

I’m several chapters in to the book ( I will come back and revise/lengthen significantly once I finish), and I couldn’t wait to get a review up about this book. From the first few pages of the first chapter I was enjoying the racing thoughts of Tillie. There’s a slight sarcasm to her “inner monologue” that really strikes a chord with me.

I’m intrigued by her Character and yet I’m only 4 or 5 chapters in. I want to know more. As soon as I get a solid block of time I will devour the book.

So why leave a review when I haven’t even finished it yet? This book has pulled me in to its world. Almost like ours, but just one step to the weird. The author’s writing subtly reminds me of people like Robert Aspirin and Douglas Adams. Do yourself a favor and pick it up. I think you’ll like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling characters in a unique setting make for a thoroughly entertaining read.

This story is a well-paced, solidly-written pageturner. Compelling characters in a unique setting make for a thoroughly entertaining read. Things get weird, but the main character's down-to-earth and entirely human perspective keeps the reader grounded through the plot's convolutions. The narrative is brisk and lean, conveying what's needed without wasting unnecessary words for the sake of prose itself.

There's also a deeper conversation going on under the exterior plot, asking some questions -- without, perhaps, spelling out answers -- about the bigger problems of the universe.

This reads like the beginning of a series, and I hope that it is, because while we're given a good long peek into Tillie's weird world, there are a lot of loose ends left to be tied up, or perhaps further unraveled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Urban fantasy that's definitely worth reading
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017
Definitely a worthwhile addition to the urban fantasy sub-genre. The story moved along at a good pace and the main characters were interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to another! Well worth the low price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining lightweight.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2017

I bought this low-priced eBook on the strength of a positive review in F&SF magazine. I found it entertaining and I'm not at all sorry, but I shall not be actively looking for the expected sequels. As the reviewer wrote, this novel does a pretty good job of coaxing novelty out of what are by now fairly well-used tropes. It's the first person narrative of a mentally and physically strong woman in a world where myths, magic and aliens are all real, but kept hidden. Think of V I Warshawski in X-men with a small hint of American Gods - though not showing the skill and humour of any of those. The blurb on the Kindle sale page and the "look inside" sample will give you a good idea.

The plot includes a powerful personal menace for the narrator character and ends with her having survived a concrete threat. (Survival is implied by the use of the first person so I don't think that's a spoiler.) The main menace, though is left unexplained and unresolved - a weakness in my opinion, especially if it's meant to help sequels.
