This was a fun whirlwind adventure!
Ava is a bad ass monster hunter, brave, witty and extremely independent and stubborn.
After her ex lover Gideon (a hunter too) let's slip about a nearby evil witch causing havoc and taunts that others better than Ava will be taking care of it, of course that's a red flag to a bull and she's gonna go charging off to kill the witch on her own just to prove a point.

Of course battling a powerful evil witch and her deadly creatures was easy compared with being faced with multiple warrior Fae and a hellhound trying to kill her for some reason.
Now on the run with a bag full of cursed objects, Ava is tricked into becoming a hired assassin to clear a debt, and has to work for 'Stone' a dangerously hot high Fae who's also part of the shadow court mafia and threatening her sisters life.
Travelling to the Fae realm isn't easy either having to use an imaginative portal, owned by 'Blade' who happens to be another hot high Fae who's extremely arrogant and likes pushing Ava's buttons.

Add in a Fae tavern with mortal 'slaves', an ongoing forced quest for assassination in a strange land, developing feelings for your annoying temporary boss, being hunted by kings guards and the Fae mafia, and what can possibly go wrong?

Book 1 does not disappoint, but hang in for more to come, Ava still has asses to kick!
