About this listen
No good deed goes unpunished....
For years, my family was in possession of the top half of an ancient sword. Now this dangerous artifact has been stolen, and it’s up to me to recover it. With the help of my friends, I must follow the trail of clues to find both halves of the sword before they can be reforged. When my investigation leads me to an Elvis-impersonating vampire, a magic carpet lizard, and a homicidal banshee with no regard for the Fountains of Bellagio, I know I’m in for a rough ride.
My magic is the only thing that stands between absolute power and preservation. Can I prevent history from recurring or are we doomed to repeat it?
Outfox is an urban fantasy mystery with humor, action and adventure, a powerful heroine, and a charming yet unlikely hero.

Also, starting investigating a theft without first speaking to your smuggler friend is just daft. The lead character is so driven and cock sure of herself I'm amazed anyone likes her at all, yet her friends seem ok with that.
I have no idea of the author realises but there are a few too many little inclusions that sound straight from other fantasy stories. The Accords, Fred and George, etc. These might well be total coincidences but as there are so many and the author also uses numerous snippets from real films, it seems less likely. There is nothing wrong with taking inspiration from other work but if the similarities are obvious then it needs re worked.
Even with all these, the story still manages to be original and is worth a listen. So much so that I really can't decide if I recommend it or not.
