Welcome to Litsy!

This is an interesting concept: a modern FBI agent is stolen and taken to a steampunk world where, upon freedom, she becomes a police detective there. Her partner is a lovable curmudgeon in awe of her. There are some holes (like vocabulary of the supporting characters) and weirdness (they have mostly the same food as we have) but overall it‘s a charming story. #pop23 #authorwithsameinitials

Sleepy Sunday morning and I‘m trying to find my motivation with this fun audiobook.

I love this book! The first in a series, FBI agent Jamie is magically taken from Earth to another world where stuff happens. I don‘t want to spoil anyone so I‘ll just say that I re-read this - and it‘s sequals - repeatedly. 5/5

Pick! There are a few odd editing hiccups (worst in the 1st chapter 🤦🏻‍♀️) & some anachronistic moments that might be the result of editing cutting a comment about idioms as part of identity but honestly, that‘s struggling to be picky. At its heart, this is a character driven, slightly steampunkey, police procedural. It‘s a fun, fast read and the “human stuck in another world” premise is executed the best I‘ve ever seen here. An exuberant pick!

“It always intrigued me when she taught me something of her own world. It inevitably made my own perceptions of this culture broader, more enriched”

[Traded quote photo for this spectacular view. “Breather” because for literally the first time in my life, I‘m babysitting but the baby‘s asleep so I‘m really just emergency back up with coffee, books, freedom and the most amazingly ripe gorgeous tomatoes I have eaten in years. Lovely interlude].

Trying to blur out spoilers but 😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 They‘re notes from the characters 😂😂😂😂 This is self published and the early chapters really needed a a better editor but it‘s got solid world building, really interesting characters and a great plot. If it continues like this, I‘m absolutely a fan and will read the series! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

An odd book so far that suffers a little from the lack of a good editor but the eBook has hysterical snarky written comments at the top of some of the chapter titles 😂😂😂 (But embarrassingly, I had to YouTube the Ghostbusters theme because I got Beverly Hills Cop stick in my head instead 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️).

Loved the humor in this story. It was a good easy read that I would add to my reread list.
