Blurb: “The fare is ten cents, miss.”
Mae Malveaux, an attorney with Minneapolis Child Protective Services, is burnt-out, tired and frustrated. Passing on an invite from Jill, her flirtatious coworker, Mae just wants a quiet night in. Leaving the office late, she’s surprised to find the Heritage Line streetcars up and running and hops aboard, eager for a quick trip home.
But this is no ordinary streetcar. Death is one of its riders, and Mae is thrust into Annwn, a realm of magic and danger.
“Your transfer, miss. You’ll need that.”
Mae’s life is turned upside down as human and fae worlds collide. Her budding relationship with Jill takes a perilous turn when they are hunted by mythical beasts, and Mae is drawn into a deadly power struggle. With Jill at her side, Mae must straddle both worlds and fight a war she barely comprehends, for not only does the fate of Annwn rest in her hands, but the lives of both a human and fae child…
This is a fantasy novel that contains a sweet little romance. This is not a book to go into if you are looking for lots of sex. However, if you like fast paced fantasy breaking into real life and causing problems for two women--who just happen to be attracted to each other--then you will probably enjoy this.
There were a number of things that intrigued me about this novel. The first one is the way that Michael Merriam built this world. I really liked the blending of fantasy, modern technology and concepts characterized. 'Last Car to Annwn Station', is a wonderful blend of creatures, characters, fantasy and reality. I enjoyed watching the way Mae handled this strange turn in her life. Likewise, Merriam did a wonderful job of tying in all of the plot points so that the story was well shaped. Things were not left hanging.
I was a little disappointed by the interaction between Mae and Jill. They are attracted to each other but it takes them forever to get anywhere with it. On one hand, the build up was nice but in the end I felt that most of the book was build up without a decent climax.
So if you are looking for a good book, fun characters and a little romance, then this is a nice read.
