Known as the wicked witch of Russian fairy tales, Baba Yaga is not one woman, but rather a title carried by a chosen few. They keep the balance of nature and guard the borders of our world, but don’t make the mistake of crossing one of them…
Older than she looks and powerful beyond measure, Barbara Yager no longer has much in common with the mortal life she left behind long ago. Posing as an herbalist and researcher, she travels the country with her faithful (mostly) dragon-turned-dog in an enchanted Airstream, fulfilling her duties as a Baba Yaga and avoiding any possibility of human attachment.
But when she is summoned to find a missing child, Barbara suddenly finds herself caught up in a web of deceit and an unexpected attraction to the charming but frustrating Sheriff Liam McClellan.
Now, as Barbara fights both human enemies and Otherworld creatures to save the lives of three innocent children, she discovers that her most difficult battle may be with her own heart…
I love Russian folklore so I was very excited to read an urban fantasy novel based on Baba Yaga. This wasn't bad but it wasn't what I was expecting either. It was a nice read, the characters are mostly interesting and the plot is okay - it just wasn't wow. The romance is pretty average - I didn't love it but then I'm fairly picky with my romance and it was better than most romances. I'll be reading the rest of the series - this is the kind of book that fits in quite nicely and leaves you feeling satisfied if not completely amazed.
