"For the last few years I'd been in a state of bliss--living under a self-imposed Forgetting Charm, because I so did not want to go into the family business. What I wanted was a glamorous career in New York City and the opportunity for a normal life--buying designer shoes on sale, dating guys from craigslist, Web surfing for organic dim sum for my boss. And then my father's Executive Assistant, a faun named Jarvis, showed up to tell me that my dad had been kidnapped. Good-bye, Forgetting Charm. Hello, (unwanted) responsibility."--P. [4] of cover.

Review of "Death's Daughter" on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I'm glad this book was a free giveaway, because I'd be very annoyed if anyone had wasted any money on it. The premise sounded amusing and could have been, but the main character is such an unlikeable, useless, deliberately obtuse idiot that is impossible to either cheer for her or suspend disbelief enough to get caught up in the story. The fact several other characters actually decide to LIKE the main character is completely beyond belief. What a waste of an interesting premise.
