The Highfire Crown Mj Kraus

Fans of The Dresden Files and Jessica Jones will burn through this addictive and hugely entertaining urban fantasy series. Things were going badly for Jax, and then they got worse. Jacquelyn Denna Knight is the best wizard detective in the city. She also has the worst luck. Her vile orc landlord is about to evict her from her haunted apartment, and she just choked on the job that was going to pay her rent. She hates that she let the money get away from her, but the satin-skirted vampire that escaped out the bordello window worries her more. Our wizard is out of money, and out of time, until one of the most influential elves in the Realm calls her at midnight to hire her for a job. It's an offer she can't refuse. What she doesn't know is that the new case is going to unravel her life, and she'll get tangled up with a host of intriguing characters, most of whom are not who they appear to be. It's also going to speed her down a path toward the most powerful vampire clan in the country, where she'll have to put everything on the line to save the Realm. The good news: she'll get to add a few vampire-slaying notches to her bedpost. The bad news: she'll probably die in the process.***A breakneck-paced mix of urban fantasy, irreverent humor and detective noir that's addictive and hugely entertaining. If you enjoy Harry Dresden's sardonic humor, you'll love the adventures of cynical, kick-ass, girl wizard Jax.
