The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry by C.M. Waggoner, 371 pages
Delly Wells is a scrappy firewitch from the bad side of town, weeks behind on the rent for her sad little apartment, and constantly hunting down her drug-addled mother. She's getting pretty desperate when she answers an ad seeking magically-abled women to escort a posh bride to her fiance's castle, figuring that she can handle traveling for some cash. But the trip introduces more complications to Delly's life, including the hunt for a murderer, busting a drug cartel, and the growing affection between Delly and her new wealthy friend Winn.
In this inventive novel, Waggoner has created a complex set of characters dealing with some complex problems, and she manages it all magnificently. Delly's struggles and personal growth, the romance between her and Winn, the commentary on the cycles of addiction...it's all so well done and so captivating! And it's funny! Highly recommend this wonderful mix of romance, adventure, mystery, and fantasy.
