Hollywood Ending: Faerie Justice, #6

By Kristine Kathryn Rusch

1946: Betty Nerenhauser works with the famous screenwriter Jackson Holden Carter in hopes of learning enough from him to earn her big break. But her break comes when she least expects it—the day strange little men show up at Jackson's office asking for his help. Soon, Betty finds out just why Jackson mentored her—and how high the cost if it turns out he was wrong.

"Hollywood Ending" showcases Rusch at her finest, weaving a powerful surprise twist into a cleverly crafted tale.

"[Kristine Kathryn Rusch is] one of the best of the genre."
