What a fun book!

Recently divorced Hannah is in desperate need of a job. After her previous disastrous interview, she isn't full of confidence for her interview at "The Stranger Times". A newspaper that publish about supernatural happenings from around the world. Hannah is surely in for some strange surprises.

It did take some time to enjoy the story but once I crossed a certain point, I didn't let go of the book until I finished reading it. It was that good.

There were many enjoyable things about this but I liked most is the conversations among the employees of "The Stranger Times". Those were hilarious and made me laugh out loud. Initially the characters seemed a bunch of misfits thrown together but the more time spent with them, the more I realised how well they gel together.

This is a very good book for a first book. Hope there will many more in line.

Bookworm (have loads of catching up to do) Mostly forms of magic? Or we have other supernatural beings too?

Em Lost In Books Magic is not prominent in the story, its the characters that made the book truly enjoyable. Do give it a try sometime.

carol. The editor of The Stranger Times has a strong resemblence to Bunny, the detective in his more normal series (relatively speaking).

Juliano Dutra This book is a gem - all the characters are so good!. I always remember the satanist trying to clarify that Satan is not into Heavy Metal - he just like to chill listening to a full Enya Album!
