Fourteen-year-old Mona isn't like the wizards charged with defending the city. She can't control lightning or speak to water. Her familiar is a sourdough starter, and her magic only works on bread. She has a comfortable life in her aunt's bakery making gingerbread men dance.

But Mona's life is turned upside down when she finds a dead body on the bakery floor. An assassin is stalking the streets of Mona's city, preying on magic folk, and it appears that Mona is his next target. And in an embattled city suddenly bereft of wizards, the assassin may be the least of Mona's worries....

An enjoyable read, Mona is a compelling down to earth character, although the secondary characters are somewhat on the edge of stereotypes.
The story is predictable but well written and entertaining. Sometimes there were anachronism that pulled me out of the story a bit-especially the term cookie. But that is my British sensibilities.
The narrator had a good range of voices, but wasn’t convincing as a 14 year old girl, that was the main let down for me.

Sweet, gothic, weird and wonderful. T. Kingfisher never disappoints. Never know where you'll end up in one of their books, but the journey is always worth it!

This is an incredible story. I have loved every single second of listening to this book and I could listen to the narrator over and over again. Definitely worth making into a movie.

This was my firts T. Kingfisher book, but surely not the last. The story was fun, but serious when it had to be with a good message. It even made me cry at the end. The narration was excellent.

What a fun time!
