Hard-drinking petty thief Dellaria Wells is down on her luck in the city of Leiscourt - again. Then she sees a want ad for a female bodyguard, and she fast-talks her way into the high-paying job. Along with a team of other women, she’s meant to protect a rich young lady from mysterious assassins.

At first Delly thinks the danger is exaggerated, but a series of attacks shows there’s much to fear. Then she begins to fall for Winn, one of the other bodyguards, and the women team up against a mysterious, magical foe who seems to have allies everywhere.

- From Goodreads.

This book had quite a unique writing style and voice that took a bit of getting used to at first, but was fun and entertaining to read and gave it quite a lot of personality.

The plot was quickly paced and full of plenty of unexpected twists and turns. I could not predict what was going to happen next or where the story would end. It definitely became quite intense and dramatic towards the end and was thrilling to read, but also had quite a bit of emotion to it.

The author created a collection of very interesting and unique characters, they were all very distinct and had lively personalities.

Overall, I think it was different to anything else I have read before and I would recommend it if you're looking for a fun adventure and mystery fantasy.
