This is a fun return to the world of the DFZ, though we see little of the city or the kind of people we've met in this world before. Instead, we are focused exclusively on Lola and her fellow servants to blood mage Victor... who has vanished. All of his underlings must scramble to find him, since with Victor gone, so are their protections against his many enemies. Lola also needs Victor to maintain the spell that keeps her human... but she's in a race against time. I enjoyed this story a lot, and the book is quite enjoyable and wraps up the book's plot neatly while leaving plenty of series plot threads dangling for the sequel(s). (At least one sequel is coming, and has already been written, so we don't have too long to wait to see more of this story.) In this fun and fast moving read, when her Master disappears, Lola the changeling has only a few of pills that keep her monstrous form at bay. As she seeks to find him before the pills are gone, every one Lola knows is either a tricksy bargaining fay or also under her master's control and something bigger and more catastrophic than her dissolution is in the works though she has no clue as to how deeply involved she is. Which is a problem, because the reader sure guesses before Lola does. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Return to the world of modern dragons and awakened cities in a new stand-alone trilogy from the author of NICE DRAGONS FINISH LAST and MINIMUM-WAGE MAGIC!In the world's most magical metropolis where spirits run noodle shops and cash-strapped dragons stage photo-ops for tourists, people still think fairies are nothing but stories, and that's exactly how the fairies like it. It's a lot easier to feast on humanity's dreams when no one believes you exist. But while this arrangement works splendidly for most fair folk, Lola isn't one of the lucky ones.She's a changeling, a fairy monster made just human enough to dupe unsuspecting parents while fairies steal their real child. The magic that sustains her was never meant to last past the initial theft, leaving Lola without a future. But thanks to Victor Conrath, a very powerful--and very illegal--blood mage, she was given the means to cheat death.For a price.Now the only changeling ever to make it to adulthood, Lola has served the blood mage faithfully, if reluctantly, for twenty years. Her unique ability to slip through wards and change her shape to look like anyone has helped make Victor a legend in the DFZ's illegal-magic underground. It's not a great life, but at least the work is stable... until her master vanishes without a trace.With only a handful left of the pills that keep her human, Lola must find Victor before she turns back into the fairy monster she was always meant to be. But with a whole SWAT team of federal paladins hunting her as a blood-mage accomplice, an Urban Legend on a silent black motorcycle who won't leave her alone, and a mysterious fairy king with the power to make the entire city dream, Lola's chances of getting out of this alive are as slender as a silver thread.BY A SILVER THREAD is a fast-paced Urban Fantasy featuring cunning fae, a kind heroine, and a magic so destructive that using it even once stains your soul forever. Buckle up for a wild ride through a near-future, magical Detroit where urban legends ride the streets, fairy queens have mansions uptown, and the City is an actual deity you don't want to cross.
