First line/s: "Keeping a job involves a few simple rules: Arrive on time. Work hard. And don't assault customers."
My comments: Listened to this in one day. Forget the fantasy/paranormal element; the mystery, action and adventure alone is simply a story of four really good friends. With humor and a teeny, teeny, tiny bit of sexual tension, this romp through the secret paranormal world of psychics, fire throwers, sorcerers, telekinetics (etc!) is clever, cute, and just the right length.
Goodreads synopsis: Broke, almost homeless, and recently fired. Those are my official reasons for answering a wanted ad for a skeevy-looking bartender gig.
It went downhill the moment they asked me to do a trial shift instead of an interview—to see if I'd mesh with their "special" clientele. I think that part went great. Their customers were complete dickheads, and I was an asshole right back. That's the definition of fitting in, right?
I expected to get thrown out on my ass. Instead, they… offered me the job?
It turns out this place isn't a bar. It's a guild. And the three cocky guys I drenched with a margarita during my trial? Yeah, they were mages. Either I'm exactly the kind of takes-no-shit bartender this guild needs, or there's a good reason no one else wants to work here.
So what's a broke girl to do? Take the job, of course—with a pay raise.
--Note: The three mages are definitely sexy, but this series isn't a reverse harem. It's 100% fun, sassy, fast-paced urban fantasy.
Tori has no problem getting herself into trouble in every book in the Guild Codex series, but each one is a complete adventure—no cliffhanger endings.
