I finally got another one of Barb's series re-released and swapped over from the original small romance press topless dude covers to something that fits the genre more. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with the genre romance ones in general, but the books are primarily snarky gay urban fantasy with romance/sex as the B-plot, and the originals promised the opposite.
Also, they're now properly labelled as book one and two instead of prologue and book one, which was an awkward workaround for coming from two different publishers five years apart.
This was also the series that got one of my favourite bad reviews. "Why is this set in Calgary? And if it's set in Canada, why aren't the English and the French fae fighting each other?" Maybe because people (like the author) live there? And also, statistically, a lot of the Francophone people in the city are recent immigrants from French-speaking countries in Africa. You will notice that the Calgary skyline is the cover graphic on both books now, because I can.
Next up, novella with wendigo mythology and a starvation cult. Set in Edmonton, and Spruce Grove. Because people live there, too.
