Publisher's Summary

When you get up in the morning, the last thing you expect to see is a murdered guy hanging outside your window. Things like that tend to draw the attention of the local police, and when you're squatting in your parents' old house until you can afford to buy it, another thing you can't afford is the attention of the cops.

Oh yeah. Hi. My name is Pet. It's not my real name, but it's the only one you're getting. Things like names are important these days. 

And it's not so much that I'm Pet. I am a pet. A human pet: I belong to the two Behindkind fae and the pouty vampire who just moved into my house.

It's not weird, I promise - well, it is weird, yeah. But it's not weird weird, you know?

Excellent!

The story is excellent, and I've listened to it a couple of times now I enjoy it so much.

I really like the dynamic between all the characters, and how much personality the protagonist has. Pet also doesnt put herself in stupid situations intentionally when she knows she can't fight (thank goodness as thats one of my pet peeves). The world is really interesting, and feels like there's so much depth to it that you only scrape across the top.

The voice took a little bit getting used to. Im Australian, and even to me the twangs and speech patterns in the accent were a bit jarring at first, but in essence it suits the overall style and I would be disappointed if it wasn't read in this way.


Read it. Its excellent!

Different

In a world of sameness this urban fantasy stands out. It’s just a bit unique. It’s VERY Australian so get ready for a cultural experience-no adjusting the grammar for overseas readers here! You’ll get all the “flaming “ and “bloke” and “pinched “ you desire. It gives the book an authentic feel. It’s funny too. There’s a lot of plot development to go so I’m looking forward to the next one.
