Tell No Tales

by C. Chancy

Some nights it just doesn’t pay to rise from the grave....Corbin wants to uncover the truth behind her death at a demon’s hands. But her memories have been shattered by the grave, and even with footloose Sighted mechanic Devon Fortunato helping her search for answers, a restless ghost is up against the darkest spells and lies of the living. If they can’t unravel who sabotaged the Cunning Folk circle’s spellcast defenses, the child Corbin meant to protect will suffer a fate worse than death. Corbin’s notes hold clues, but the broken circle would rather die than admit the truth....

Basically a murder-mystery with a high dose of fantasy. A very enjoyable read with a creative magic system set in modern (well, reasonably modern) America. The villain was a bit too standard for my tastes, but since the villain only really appeared near the end that didn't matter much. I liked this a lot and would definitely recommend this story for people who want a short (for fantasy) but well-written story.

A mechanic with a magical flair who specializes in gremlins, and a -- being who remembers dying as a human albeit in bits and pieces, meet.

Devon was a stray, a person born to non-magical humans. While Corbin was Folk, she was thrown out of her family. In a region of Florida with insular Folk, they unravel the mystery of who she is and what went wrong, and who betrayed her.

It involves genetics, Devon's long-distance consultation with someone who taught him a bit after they tangled with a raven-mocker, beads, a history of stolen jewelry, a family feud, and more.

Great book

Another great book by Chancy. I love all of her books so far. I didn’t know anything about it when I bought it, but I got it anyway. I loved it. As always, I want more, but was very happy with what I did get.

An entertaining and enjoyable read. The author's knowledge of various folklore traditions really shines though. Definitely worth more than one read through.
