This is not an unbiased review. I adore reading all of the different imaginative books by this author, and it is a real bonus not to have to skim erotica (never been into voyeurism) or dodge TV language (unimaginative). The centuries old friends who have adapted to 21st century life have come up against a formidable foe with more greed than Midas himself. Modern teenagers meet and learn part of the group's secrets and are positively blown away. The publisher's blurb is a decent hook, and no spoilers here.
All the characters are interesting, but the ongoing ones are such a lot of fun!
Julia Motyka is a great voice actor and gives voice to all of the characters.
Suspend disbelief and just enjoy! ( )
