About this ebook
Death is a way of life outside of the safety of Inner Tulsa, and Jade means to keep flipping Mother Nature off until old age claims her. With one eye always on the sky, the last thing she needs is a pack of bounty hunters out for her living head. With no idea of why anyone would want her, her wits might keep her free, assuming she can resist the charming lures of Sandro, one of the men out to claim her as his own.
Left with the choice of being the evening snack of a tornado or taking shelter with the bounty hunter, she does what she does best: she lives on the edge.
Striking a bargain with the handsome bounty hunter buys her another day of life, but it also dumps her into the heart of a sinister plot, one meant to enslave the residents of the storm-tossed city—and the others brave and foolish enough to call the Alley home.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fun story. It's yet another different universe - definitely not Witch and Wolf, despite shifters; nor is it Magical Vigilante Librarian, though the buying of contracts and especially the kind and crazy family have a lot of echoes. Weird magic; I wonder, is all the world divided up into "quadrants", or is that purely a US thing? She mentions escaping to Mexico once...would that be the equivalent of a fifth quadrant, and yet another switch of magic? Our Heroine is, as she's shown on the cover, a fox-girl; she can't put away her ears and tail. She carefully hides that she can in fact shift all the way to fox, and pretends that the ears and tail are all she has. She's also hiding magical talent. We meet her running from a bounty hunter, and also a set of tornado funnels...and things really don't calm down at any point in the story. She's got some good people behind her, and a lot of luck - both good and bad (wish we'd, she'd, gotten to see more of Carl). The story ends with her...well, captured isn't exactly the right word. But she's out of her hardscrabble existence, has quite a bit of power behind her and a new mission...and a (crazy, but kind) family around her that's likely to be more disconcerting for her than any of the above. Santos is interesting, and interested, but she's got more on her mind than romance. Presumably things will advance, in some direction, in the next and the third book; I'll definitely be reading them.
