POC shifters, an unexpected baby, domineering families, and an unconventional heroine and hero make for a smart, funny read in an intriguing world where magic and the supernatural live side by side with humanity as part of everyday life.

If you think Newsmax is a legitimate news source and 2000 mules is a real documentary, then I have some oceanfront property in Oklahoma to sell you.
