Book 98.5, 2023
I was looking to start reading an urban fantasy today, preferably something funny. I chose Motherducking Monster Os by Michelle Fox. It's a prequel to the author's "Bad Magic Bounty Hunter" series, starring bounty hunter Sylvie Orion. Unfortunately, this was just a short story; therefore, I'm not counting it towards books read.
Sylvie has very little magic of her own, but she's made a career of bringing other supernaturals (supes) in as a bounty hunter. Today, her target is the mean girl who made Sylvie's life a living hell in school, and Karma is going to be epic.
I enjoyed Sylvie's snarky sense of humor and her ability to level the playing field with her nemesis, Lydia. Although brief, the story set up Sylvie's world nicely and provided a segue to what will be the first book in the series. It also introduced a potential romantic interest.
Favorite line: Summer in Cleveland had all the charm of Satan's butthole.
Cute and funny, and I'll look for more in the series. Four stars.
