By Fairy Means or Foul

A Starfig Investigations Novel

By: Meghan Maslow

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

The last thing half-dragon, half-fairy private investigator Twig Starfig wants to do is retrieve a stolen enchanted horn from a treacherous fae, but there's no denying the dazzlingly gorgeous unicorn who asks Twig to do just that. Literally, no denying, because compelling the reluctant detective is all part of a unicorn's seductive magic.

To add to his woes, Twig is saddled with the unicorn's cheeky indentured servant, Quinn Broomsparkle. Dragons are supposed to want to eat humans, but Twig's half-dragon side only wants to gobble up Quinn in a more personal way. Making matters worse, it's obvious the smokin' hot but untrustworthy sidekick is hiding something. Something big. And not what's in his trousers. In the PI business, that means trouble with a capital Q.

Throw in gads of zombies, a creepy ghost pirate ship, a malfunctioning magic carpet, and Twig's overbearing fairy father's demands to live up to the illustrious Starfig name. Naturally, an old but abiding enemy chooses this time to resurface, too. Those inconveniences Twig can handle. The realization he's falling for a human who isn't free to return his affections and whose life may hang on the success of his latest case?

Not so much.

Brilliant narration for a brilliant hilarious book

Audio reread January 2021

I didn't think this could possibly get better, but when I'm wrong, I'm wrong in a big way! Everything is better when Greg Boudreaux/Greg Tremblay is reading!! 😍 This was ah-maz-ing, I don't think I've ever heard characters more perfectly voiced since Michael Lesley for The Lightning-Struck Heart. I was a fan of Greg before this but I think this is my favorite from him to this point!! Perfection in audio. ❤️

I got a lot of audio/ebooks for Christmas and my birthday from my awesome friends, so I am going to be enjoying myself for a while here. Best friends ever! 🥰

*runs to the next one!*

1st read January 2018

This was smart, funny and lol-wonderful! Loved the world, plot, terrific (and hilarious) characters and excellent writing! I'll be *im*patiently waiting for more of this series!

Extremely funny, Greg Boudreaux does it again!

This book reminded me of The Lightning Struck Heart ny TJ Klune a bit, and I believe the narration was a key in making me enjoy it as i did. Greg just went to town with all the accents, voices and emotions. I really enjoyed his narration, he is one of my favorite narrators and it has been some time since I listened to a book narrated by him.
As a fantasy this book works well, the world feels established and believable, the different kinds of magical creatures are interesting and the story had some nice twists and turns.
And, I am left curious for the next books in the series.

Fun

I bought and listened to this for the first time years ago, and back then I wasn't a huge fan. Don't know why?

Lately, I've been trying all my one and done books again.

This was a fun, entertaining story.
I'm normally not a fan of all different creatures but this author and of course Greg Boudreaux brought levity and life to them that made them hard not to like.
The story of course was also engaging and made you want to keep listening. I did, on occasion, hit the FF button when the, woe is me, was getting too much.
But I'm finding more and more with any story I have little patience for any character that moans on and on.

Greg Boudreaux did an excellent job with all the voices, even that parrot!!

Laughed so much

Awesome book!!!! Words can't express how I love this book it's funny it's different dragons wizards demons Angels unicorns and fairies!!! This is a must-read I'm looking for book 2!

Funny and cute

I loved every bit of this story. It has so much humor, but also adventure, and romance with a good amount of steamy moments. I’m a fan of the magical world the author created and I love the relationship between the two main characters.
