"I checked this out on a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. I enjoyed reading the story of a family and their triumph over evil. This lead to me reading more of Patricia Briggs. This series was my favorite so if you are to read her work, start here."

" "Carry them for nine months, feed them, clothe them, and what do I get? Impertinence." "
— Jen, 2/9/2014" It took a little longer for me to get into this one than The Hob's Bargain, but once hooked I couldn't stop. Can't wait to read the sequel. "
— Jeanette, 2/6/2014" I liked this book as much as her Mercedes Thompson ones. Certainly not as edgey, but good character development and the main character is an older woman. I liked that. "
— Christine, 2/6/2014" I am a Patricia Briggs fan. I love her books because she always has strong female characters with realistic quirks. A fun read for a rainy day! "
— Yvette, 1/22/2014" I liked how she began this series . . . "
— Arwen, 1/16/2014" I can imagine reading this ten years from now and enjoying it even more, if that makes any sense. "
— Marianna, 1/13/2014" Really liked the world building on this one. "
— Edward, 1/3/2014" This book kind of odd because it really feels like two books smashed together. The beginning was also really slow-going. However, I loved the characters and was totally invested in the story by the end. "
— Tasha, 12/21/2013" It took me a little big to get use to the character names, but then it started to flow. I enjoy the way Patricia Briggs writes. THis is the second series I have read by her. "
— Karen, 12/20/2013" Fantastic story, Will go straight to my to read again shelf. "
— Maya, 12/3/2013" I enjoyed reading this book. However, after reading it and trying to analyze it a bit I don't really understand why I even managed to finish it, let alone enjoy it. Maybe Patricia Briggs is just very skilled at writing unremarkable stories. 72/100 "
— Eric, 11/26/2013" 3.5 stars: Not quite on par with the excellence I've grown to expect from Mrs. Briggs, but well developed characters and world made for an entertaining afternoon. I will probably go on to read the next one at some point. "
— Marcie, 5/6/2013" Great book. Fast paced with quite a few twists. Was unique. "
— Tahnee, 5/2/2013" My brother recommended this book. It is not something I would have read. I will miss the characters in this book. "
— Tiffany, 4/19/2013" Like Briggs' writing. Story a little bit like Bujold's "blights." Like that the author didn't start the romance in the typical fashion. This couple has been married for 20 years and has almost grown children. Looking forward to second in series. "
— Morgan, 1/5/2013" A bit of a change for Briggs--it's not as light-hearted as her usual books, and it was just as good. I liked her gypsy culture in this series. "
— Caroline, 11/28/2012" I love Patricia Briggs. This 1 started a bit slow, but got my hooked. I'm reading book 2 of this series now. "
— Rebecca, 10/15/2012" All of Patricia Briggs books are amazing! "
— Jordyn, 7/14/2012" I love this story so far. "
— Rick, 5/25/2012" okay series, not as great as the mercedes thompson books but a fun read. more fantasy and i'm not sure i'm completely into that or not. "
— Tangi, 3/23/2012" Deceptive - starts off fairly ordinary, and then increases substantially in plot and character. Wheels within wheels. "
— Julia, 2/6/2012" Starts out slow but interesting magical characters and a good story. "
— Melissa, 1/26/2012" A nice, fun, consistent read. Interesting premise, characters, world, and storyline. "
