![]() ![]() Isa Epley is all of twenty-one years old and already wise enough to understand that the purpose of life is the pursuit of pleasure. Refreshing and wry in equal measure, Happy Hour is an intoxicating novel of youth well spent. With the verve and bite of My Year of Rest and Relaxation and the whip-smart, wisecracking sensibility of a golden-age Hollywood heroine, Marlowe Granados’s stunning début brilliantly captures a summer of striving in New York City. Marlowe Granados is a fresh, exciting new voice in fiction, and Happy Hour is a spellbinding début.” - Amy Jones, author of We’re All in This Together and Every Little Piece of Me ![]() “ Happy Hour feels like a breathless whisper at six in the morning when it’s too hot to sleep. So propulsive you'll feel like you've been hypnotized.” - Zoe Whittall, author of The Best Kind of People “A wild ride with a brilliantly cocky young protagonist who’s got the world wrapped around her finger. ![]() ![]() ![]() As a series, it has room to grow into it, but it didn’t leave me wanting more, just left me a little underwhelmed by the world. Interesting start of a world of shaman with power to rival the gods, but even the shaman part wasn’t really fleshed out in this first story. I let a lot go for the sake of the romance story, but the power balance and captor/captured was too much for me to enjoy any romantic entanglement. ![]() So the emotion was lost on me.įinally, I’ve got to say that an author putting in a line where the character says “now I have agency,” does not, in fact, give them agency. It also started with a big emotional death, but as the story had just started, I didn’t really care about any of the characters. I think the first half of this book is the main character’s journey to the underworld, that was a bit too long before even really getting into the story. It has a lot of my favorite things, dark fantasy romance, the underworld, death as a character, but this one just missed the marks for me. I really couldn’t get into it and found myself not even enjoying the read.
