About this listen

The last thing half-dragon, half-fairy private investigator Twig Starfig wants to do is retrieve a stolen enchanted horn from a treacherous fae, but there's no denying the dazzlingly gorgeous unicorn who asks Twig to do just that. Literally, no denying, because compelling the reluctant detective is all part of a unicorn's seductive magic.

To add to his woes, Twig is saddled with the unicorn's cheeky indentured servant, Quinn Broomsparkle. Dragons are supposed to want to eat humans, but Twig's half-dragon side only wants to gobble up Quinn in a more personal way. Making matters worse, it's obvious the smokin' hot but untrustworthy sidekick is hiding something. Something big. And not what's in his trousers. In the PI business, that means trouble with a capital Q.

Throw in gads of zombies, a creepy ghost pirate ship, a malfunctioning magic carpet, and Twig's overbearing fairy father's demands to live up to the illustrious Starfig name. Naturally, an old but abiding enemy chooses this time to resurface, too. Those inconveniences Twig can handle. The realization he's falling for a human who isn't free to return his affections and whose life may hang on the success of his latest case?

Not so much.

I can't quite find the right words to describe this one. All in all I really enjoyed this one. If you are not a fan of the m/m slave trope. This is not for you! However there are no consent issues between Quinn and Twig as they are rather sweet with each other.
Aso the audiobook made me laugh several times out loud in public and blush at other scenes. Greg Boudreaux's voice was perfect through it all!

The story and characters  are engaging and the narrator has very distinctive voices for each character, always a plus for me.

This was a light fun read with lots of fantastic spark, snark and warmth. I really liked Twig! He was a grump with a huge heart and I have a soft spot for those :-) There is a lot of fun side caracters that I look forward to reading more about in the next book.
My one hang-up was that a lot of trouble could have been awoided if Twig and Quinn would have just talked. Just sat down and talked instead of always assuming that they knew best. I know that this is to drive the plot along I’m just nok a fan.
Gregs narration is as always spot on. He is so good at differentiating the different voices that you are never in doubt about who is saying what. Always a mayor plus when he is the narrator!
Overall well worth a credit :-)

This is the first book by Meghan Maslow that I've listened to and was absolutely captivated with her colourful characters and their entertaining story. The cherry on the top was provided by the way Greg Boudreaux bought each of the characters to life.
All in all an extremely fun and entertaining listen. So good in fact, that I'm off now to listen to the next book in the series.

By Fairy Means or Foul was a Fabulous First!

Hands up this was one of the BEST listens of the year. I haven't laughed so much at a book in a long time. The story is fast paced, the characters are witty and the feel of the book is so good. But what topped it off was Greg Boudreaux. His narration was just fantastic, a massive array of voices, intimations spot on and he did all of the extras that many narrators miss, he sighed and laughed and shouted and well, he does a stand up job. If you want a funny feel good love story this is it.

Amazing

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, a fun new world to explore. Excellent character depth and background. The author's ability to sell the new world is second to none, and every part was believable and enjoyable,

The adventures that we all go on are hilarious and fun.

The narration by Greg Boudreaux is on point, clear and precise, with great voices.

I would highly recommend that you listen to this. We all need a little fantasy world in our lives.

What a master of narration Greg Boudreaux is.
He has such a terrific range of voices for the various characters including an officious fairy. A complete joy to listen to.
