Thrift Store Trolls - Book Review

 

Thrift Store Trolls (Flea Market Magic #1)
by Shawntelle Madison

What is it about:
Something wicked is coming to South Toms River, New Jersey.

Selling haunted trinkets and witches' wands is just another normal day for the delightfully neurotic werewolf Natalya Stravinsky. From one day to another, as the new South Toms River Pack alpha female, she tries to keep finicky supernatural customers placated while managing her underhanded goblin boss and eccentric supernatural co-workers. Her life is complicated further when competition rolls a peculiar troll-owned mart with subpar haunted knick-knacks and deadly antiques appears.

A powerful fairy path veers off course, heading towards South Toms River, attracting the attention of a deadly, shadowed force. Mysterious steamer trunks from the 1920s pop up all over town, unleashing horrific beasts. Natalya must find the inner strength to bring her pack together to uncover the culprit before her enemies threaten everyone she holds dear.

This is the first book in the Flea Market Magic Series! You don't have to read the Coveted Series to jump into the fun!

What did I think of it:
I absolutely loved the Coveted series, so decided to give this spin-off series a try.

And although I must say there are less trolls than I expected it is a really cool and fun read.

There's lots of action, creepy monsters, red herrings, and more. I was soon hooked and loved trying to figure out what was going on, and cheered Natalya on to save the day.

I enjoyed being back with these characters and being back in this world. The blurb says you don't need to read the Coveted series first, and I agree. You can easily follow this story and get into this world without reading the first series, but let's be honest: You want to read the Coveted series! It's so much fun!

Overall a great series starter. I think I'll get my trotters on the next book to see what's next for Natalya.

Why should you read it:
It's a fun and action-packed Urban Fantasy.
