| Devlin wants to win the crown for the new fairy queen. As a green fairy, she knows that it is dangerous to chase a vampire but once she notices one cast a glance her way she wants him. It is important she win this treasure hunt and he is just what she needs. While vampires usually emit fear around fairies, he shows no fear and has a grin she will never forget. Devlin decides to catch him. Since she cannot fly, she enlists the help of her pixie, Lily, to use her magic sources to fly and correspond with others to help locate his whereabouts. Duncan knows immediately when Devlin is in his presence without one word being said. He recently purchased the estate bordering near her. When she makes her request known to him, he believes as neighbors they should get to know each other but borrowing him as a prize in a scavenger hunt, is not like borrowing a cup of sugar. Duncan agrees, but on his terms, but will Devlin accept the challenge?
I really loved Gremlins and Balderdash. It is so refreshing with dynamite characters whose expressions are priceless. Devlin is adorable and each time she is with Duncan, everything springs from the pages really gluing the reader to the story. Duncan has a charm that absolutely shines. I want one of him. His expressions and his whole persona could be visualized by this reader. I liked what Lily uses to mark her path in searching for Duncan. Casey Pendelton weaves a passionate tale with all the right elements making this book a winner. I could never grow tired of reading about these characters. Duncan and Devlin are favorites I wonąt forget in this smashing good compelling read!
