Firebug

Well friends- I have a new favorite! Firebug by Lish McBride of Hold Me Closer Necromancer fame has it all. Supernatural being, a love triangle and characters that make you laugh and cry at the same time. Let me start with Ava, a firebug, she can start fires with her hands. This skill is highly coveted by the Coterie, a supernatural mob, who holds a contract on her services. The Coterie is led by Venus the evil vampire. She demands Ava to be her assassin. Venus is also responsible for the death of Ava's mother. So, Ava hates her. Then there are Ava's two best friends- Lock, the dryad, who can command the forest and Ezra (who is my new favorite character!!!!) the sneaky, egocentric were-fox. They are her team and help her with the assassinations. They would do anything for each other, even take on Venus at the risk of their own lives. When Duncan- the closest thing to a grandfather Ava has- is next on the hit list, Ava stands up to Venus and refuses the job. But we all know you shouldn't refuse an evil vampire so havoc ensues.This includes the capture of Cade, Ava's human guardian. With the help of a drove of were-hares and a few other supernatural wonders, Ava sets out to rescue Cade from the Coterie while removing Venus from this heavenly coil. But what about the love triangle you ask? Ava's boyfriend Ryan gets into the mix and Lock can't seem to keep his feelings to himself. Of course, Ava is terrible at dealing with emotions, so many things get messed up, but all that does is leave you wanting more in a sequel. And soon I hope. I think Lish McBride should be my friend so we can hang out and talk about her amazing characters. So until that happens, start this series and enjoy the ride. Just watch out for Ezra, he may be picking your pocket as we speak. Happy reading my friends!
