The Devil to Pay by Jackie MayMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Spin Off urban fantasy with sass
This spin off from the Nora Jacobs series is a definite change of pace. It’s fast and frantic from the get go with a very different main character Shayne, a fox shifter at the centre. Shayne, unlike Nora, knows exactly what she is, a devious, exuberant and feisty individual who comes from a family of similar foxes. She grew up on a trailer park, with her family of gypsy fox shifters, who live with their trailers parked up in a circle, in and out of each other’s business all day long. Shayne is trying to find a way to be independent of her family, which is constantly putting her down. She knows deep inside that she would a great fit for the Federal Underworld Agency and keeps trying to uncover cases that she can take to their offices to work her way in. She finally succeeds and ends up way over her head!
Though it is set in the same world as Nora Jacobs, with some of the same characters around the periphery, the book has a very different feel, because Shayne is a very different woman. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the Nora Jacobs books, probably because I didn’t connect as well with Shayne as I did with Nora. Hence the 4 stars. Other than that it was an interesting read but it didn’t really feed into the main series much at all, and should probably be considered as a separate entity.
