Atlanta's only tooth fairy private eye started the day tumbling between the gaps in reality. With multiple people out to kill her, the rest of Tiff's day won't be any better.
Things aren't always easy for Atlanta's only tooth fairy private eye. Tiffemory Greenstone's last case left her beaten, bruised, and banished from the city she's grown to love. But at least she saved the girl. Or did she?
While being patched up, Tiff learns that the Exiles—the tooth fairy equivalent of the bogeymen—are real. Upset at Tiff's involvement in their human trafficking ring, they've painted a target on anyone she's affiliated with in Atlanta.
Even though she's not at full strength, Tiff must return to protect the innocent in her new home once again. Or die trying.
Though only a few days have passed for Tiff in Fae, months have passed in Atlanta. By the time she returns, the victim of kidnapping is safe, but there's a new threat to the tooth fairy and her new teammates, and indeed to the city itself.
The second installment in the Osseous series is action-packed and nail-biting! I expected another kidnapping case, but was pleasantly surprised with something totally different that will perhaps change the way Tiff solves her cases, or at the very least brings a new fantastic and paranormal element to the mysteries that will undoubtedly unfold.
The stakes keep getting higher! Exiles was a page-turner and I'm ready to dive into book 3!
Full disclosure: I was given a free ARC for my review from the author and BookFunnel. Below is my honest and spoiler free review.
I love Adams’ Osseous series. Why? Because: - Originality. Serious twists on usual tropes around tooth fairies and anchors within multi-verses/worlds. - The main character is competent yet smart enough to acknowledge what she doesn’t know. Tiff thinks ahead – I love this. No more; “too stupid to live” heroines that usually pop up in Urban Fantasy. - Loss and grief have actual meaning, it’s a reoccurring theme and used as a vehicle to move the plot along. - The use of anatomy and medical knowledge. - Doesn’t shove romance in there for likes.
This book? VAMPIRES. Yep. I love how this is a new spin on vamps, his hints at wider world building in the multi-verses that we’ve not visited yet – it keeps things interesting and these changes are MEANINGFUL choices. There was the odd little nods to pop-culture that made me grin. If you loved Sergeant Jasper Cooper from book 1… he’s back! Huzzah!
I enjoyed getting to know Tiff, this is book 2 and while I have not yet had the pleasure of reading book 1, it is on my TBR list. This book is full of laughter and tears. She chooses to step up and fight for what's right, despite insurmountable odds. That is something I can relate too and I feel most other readers can as well. She makes new friends and runs into some old ones along the way. It puts a WHOLE new spin on the idea of "Tooth Fairy" that I quite enjoyed. I look forward to more!
This book was fun, exciting and fast to read. Michael’s writing is clean and linear, humorous. There are some touching moments too. Tiff, continues to be a great lead character, but in this book she gets to share the action with a couple of other badass characters that I love. Lucy was my favorite. I will highly recommend this to anyone who wasn’t an exiting thriller/mystery/ urban fantasy. Can’t wait to get started an #3.
It was nice to have more of the side characters flashed out, but the ending felt a little rushed. I guess that's why there's a book three. 😃 It would also be nice to learn how all of these bad guys are connected, so far is just a lot more introduction of other levels of reality.
Osseous Series-Book 2: Exiles is original with some totally new takes on common myths and legends. I really enjoyed learning about Tiff and her world. She is smart, thinks ahead and is very relatable. You have to read this very interesting, very fun, story.
I’m enjoying this series and the fact that it’s keeping up the momentum. I really like the way the author integrates background information about fae and/or other mystical creatures into the plot line and gets the reader that information organically.
