About this listen

Muddled magic. Missing faeries. She's having one spell of a day at work...

Saffron Sawyer aspires to rise from the magical world's bottom rung. But when her wish to join the renowned Office of Faery Godmothers is granted, bullies make her first day on the job unbearable. And to add to her misery, she discovers that someone is abducting her coworkers one-by-one.

Desperate to prevent another kidnapping, she scrambles to piece together the clues. After teaming up with the handsome and powerful Devil's Advocate, she uncovers a strange connection between the disappearances and her lowly former gig. But when Saffron learns her promotion was only a ploy, she vows to ruin the devious plan.

Can Saffron muster enough magic to trap the villain before she's sacked or stolen?

I found the start of this book (10 min) odd and didn’t peak my interest, but I’m so pleased I carried on. Great writing interesting story and characters. Narrator nailed it.
I’ve read since I was small and due to a medical condition I can no longer read and audible is a huge part of my life. I do wish authors would make more box sets. I cannot always afford to buy individual books, especially when some are only five or six hours. Just putting it out there 🙏

Loved it
