Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Much of the action in Jackson's (The Selkie) paranormal romance takes place in a city that seems just like present-day Detroit, with one difference: this Motor City is home to an underground nightmare city populated by refugee goblins expelled from Europe. Though seemingly grateful for their new world haven, the foul-smelling goblins have in fact secretly replaced the nation's leading industrialists, including Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, with deodorized doubles-and the takeover trail may lead much higher. Pitted against mysterious goblin leader Horroban and his six-limbed, four-breasted rock star girlfriend are "siren fey" Io Cyphre, who's a H.U.G. (Humans Under Ground) magical agent, and charismatic cop Jonathan "Jack" Frost, who's half fairy. A deliciously playful tone, especially in the banter between Io and Jack, makes this a fun, light read. At times, however, Jackson's Detroit feels more like a cartoon world than a plausible alternate realm. Still, this imaginative tale, the first in a new series of mystical romances from Jackson, delivers sizzling romance and ghoulish thrills at a breathtaking clip.

From Booklist
As an agent for Humans Underground, Io's first assignment is to infiltrate Goblin Town and discover why key figures in society are being replaced by "Lutins." She is also to contact Jonathan "Jack" Frost, a dangerous agent shrouded in lore. As the half-fey and the sorcerer forge a partnership, Io is forced to question everything she trusts and believes. Jackson often pushes the boundaries of paranormal romance, and this, the first in her Wildside series, is no exception. More dark romantic fantasy than fantasy romance, grimness permeates everything, even Jack and Io's relationship. The dark mood harkens to gothic fiction, but while that genre's desolation often has a haunting beauty, Jackson's world is relentlessly menacing, at times repulsive, numbing one even to the few periods of levity. This is not for readers who want romance to be beautiful and central to the story, nor for the faint of heart, but Jackson's fans and cross-over fantasy-fiction readers will want to judge for themselves.
