Helpful Score: 1

Took a while for me to get 'in' to this book and, to be honest, I was tempted to set it down and walk away after the first few chapters but I'm glad I didn't as it *did* eventually find its rhythm. Morag and Heather, 2 punk rock wannabe fairies, with a tendency to find trouble (though through no fault of their own- just ask them, they'd love to tell you) land in New York City. Leaving a Celtic Flower Alphabet, a couple of fairie riots, several felony thefts, a lot of whiskey (a little wine too) and a civil war in their wake they manage to stay busy and really don't have to try that hard. Really.

This is *not* your typical fairie story and you will be seriously disappointed if you order the book on that assumption. Instead expect very little magic, phone sex commercials, homeless people dying on the doorstep, grit and grunge, a crazy baglady, Chairman Mao and a blue ponytail.
