The Night Girl by James Bow
4.0
I just finished reading The Night Girl by James Bow, and boy was I surprised by this book.
Set in Toronto, we follow a young woman named Perpetua who has just arrived in the city with very little money and no friends (or so she thought). But there's a guy in a taxi cab... and a weird hostel for her to stay in... and she eventually finds a job... working in Toronto's underground city... for a goblin. I'll leave it at that, so as not to give too much away. :)
I read this book for one of my book clubs, but I wasn't able to go because of snowy roads. Which is sad because I heard the author - James Bow - was there! I would have loved to have met him, and let him know I really enjoyed reading his book. I'm not generally an urban fantasy reader, but I just gobbled this book up. I give it a solid 4 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
