I liked the world that the book is set in, loved the small town feel with it's other worldliness. It shouldn't be a surprise, that due to the 2 different cultures that there would be racism and hate. With any people dealing with racism, most people get along, but you do have those few that raise hell. What was interesting was how these same people that complain the most are the ones that cross the line. I loved how towards the end, these people had actions thrown back in their face and shown they aren't better than anyone else, in fact, they are worse.
I loved Daisy from the start, loved how she felt about her mother and showed it, and how she defended her mom to everyone. Her mother was great, loved how she "loved" Daisy from the start and made sure she knew it, that she didn't hold her conception against her. The mom's quip about having to sew onsies to make room for her tail cracked me up. Daisy's friends were just as fun, those human and those Eldritch. Daisy's jobs were intriguing. At first glance it seemed like the Chief was just using her, but I think her file clerk job was to make things look good for the town. He really valued her and what she could bring to the job. I liked Daisy's trips to talk to Hel, liked how Hel tried to reason with Daisy with what she expected.
On a side note, about her tail. It annoyed me how much it was brought up, how it kept twitching. But what bothered me most was how she talked about tucking away and how it felt nice, but she didn't want to think about that too much. That was a little too much TMI and yuck!
I look forward to reading more in this series.
