Millie Roper lost both her filmmaking career and her legs in a failed suicide attempt. After six months in a psychiatric center, she is presented with a second chance at life—one filled with magic. Recruited by the Arcadia Project, Millie joins an elite group that watches over the fae that travel between their own reality and Hollywood. Her first charge is to track down a Seelie Court nobleman who is also a movie star. Millie finds that both faerie and Hollywood glamour only disguise the ugly truth in the world. With both physical and mental limitations in play, Millie must discover what has happened to the missing royalty. Failure is not an option, as it would not only cost Millie her job but could instigate a devastating rift between the two realms.
VERDICT Baker's debut takes gritty urban fantasy in a new direction with flawed characters, painful life lessons, and not a small amount of humor. Millie's inner battles serve as a unique foil of realism against the otherwordly action.
