ARC Review: A Fae in Finance by Juliet Brooks

on


When investment banker Miri is purposely trapped in Faerie by her client, the Princeling of the Faerie realm, she does what any 20-something would: cries, eats cake, and worries loudly about her cat, Doctor Kitten. Instead of rescuing her, her boss simply confirms that she has solid internet access, leaving Miri stranded in a strange land with only a warning that the quality of her work should not decrease because of a change of address.

But Miri grew up reading fantasy, and she knows there are always ways to work around magic—she just needs to find them. To affect a daring escape, Miri must navigate Faerie political drama, lies by omission, deteriorating mental health, and a mother who never hangs up the phone.

I thought this would be a fun quick read but it didn't really hit the mark for me. It was trying to hard to be a parody and just felt clunky instead of fun and quirky. It felt like I was having to force myself to be interested, so I DNF'ed.
