When the Summer Queen summons Parker to her court, the private investigator knows there’s trouble brewing. Trapped into compliance by his past debt, he’s tasked with locating a missing girl in San Amaro. Now he has to find the girl or give up his life.

Things only get more complicated when a very familiar cop asks Parker for his help on a case involving murdered magic users. With the victims completely drained of their magic, the San Amaro Police Department needs Parker’s special skill set to track down a killer. Navigating through San Amaro’s paranormal underbelly while dealing with his own past and this new case is the last thing Parker wants or needs.

Now Parker’s stuck trying to locate a missing girl, stop a paranormal war, find a killer, and resist Detective Nicholas King’s many charms. Here’s hoping he doesn’t die trying.

Wormwood Summer is a 107,000-word MM urban fantasy with a HFN ending.

Mr Tremblay is an amazing narrator. I read the book first and loved it so when it came up on audible I thought I'd give it a go. great characterisation, great story, listened to it all within 2 days. Fab-u-lous 😉

A well written story with and interesting  concept.  The characters are likeable and the narration is very good.

Enjoyable Story

One of the reviews claimed it was a bad Dresden Files rip off, but it's a good Dresden-like story with a main character who isn't unlikeable. I love the world Jim Butcher has imagined, but can't stand Harry Dresden himself. This book gives you an equally well imagined world with Fae, magic, werewolves etc, and a likeable main character who messes up sometimes but generally gets it right.

Thoroughly enjoyed it

If you’re a fan of Fae lore, magic and a good dose of humour then this story is for you. Really enjoyed the variety of characters interwoven into the storyline and it was narrated superbly.

Magical

Book caught my interest from beginning to end and is one of my favourites. Couldn’t wait for book two to be available on audible. The narrator was absolutely marvellous. Showed clear distinction between characters and really brought the authors book too life for me. Excellent writing paired with a excellent author. 🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Wonderful

Practically a beat for beat rip off of the Dresden files, but without Harry Dresden, so it falls limp. Almost reads like fanfic, as there's an inexplicable romantic relationship which goes from zero to full-on with absolutely no laying of ground work. It got boring very quickly.

The narrator does a reasonable job with the source material.

Unsucessful Dresden Files rip-off

The narrator is superb. The story starts out well, the lore and the protagonist's background intriguing. I didn't like Parker, though. The sloppy, slightly awkward yet sarcastic protagonist with a tragic past and a heart of gold meets an unapproachable yet very handsome cop who is of course very neat and lives by a strict moral code (and he is muscular too). This set of characters for a couple has been used and reused too many times. Parker is essentially the woman from a romance novel for ladies. Maybe that's why he comes across as annoying to me, when he's intended to be cute.

Entertaining but unoriginal
