*possibly mild spoilers*
This wasn't a bad read, but I got to the end and I felt a bit like well that was a whole lot of nothing.
What I mean is there were a few cases that were solved during the course of the book, but for each one I was like 'was that it?'. There wasn't some big twist, and the way they came to the conclusions were occasionally odd, and abrupt, without a satisfying narrative.

*Nearly* all of the characters are completely unchanged by the end of the book, and the most entertaining journey was potentially the main characters dog 😅

I was looking for a quick easy read in between some heavier books, and this certainly achieved that, but I won't be picking up the rest of the series.

Kudos

This was FUN! Not 5-star fun, but still fun nonetheless! Christopher Hastings clearly had a good time writing this cute li;l gem! And while I could go on and on how Hastings' handling of all the G0tG member 9which was A+ for sure!), I feel the need to shower Flaviano Armentaro with a more than hearty helping of paise for his adorable art (rendered in an "old skool" Disney-esque style)! Everything about this series says perfect for a lazy afternoon with some Stash Asian pear green tea and a dog in your lap!

Oh, and I challenge you to NOT hear the late David Bowie's voice when you read the Adminstrator's dialogue!

Now, scoot, go and read it, summer is nearly here, and AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR is already at the movies!

So funny

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I laughed several times Him is now my new favourite dog!!! Sailing is refreshing I'm looking forward to following her. I did feel it was rushed in some parts but in a while a really good start to a series. Love a good Dragon too.

Aisling Grey is a courier enjoying a free, work-related trip to Paris when she learns she's a Guardian. That's a keeper of the Gates of Hell, for those who don't know. She finds this out from Drake Vireo, who's scrumptiously sexy-at least in his human form. Now Drake has stolen the package Aisling was sent to deliver, and she must track him down, get the package, and try to resist the passion boiling inside her.
