Second book in the series follows the same formula of light slice of life / romance / detective mix with the same caveats of simplistic mystery and generally weak writing. But this time the book received an editor pass, so at least it's not painful on the eyes.
There's some relationship progress between Killishia and Tana, but just barely. And the ending has a sudden cliff-hanger similar to the first book, which most people will probably see coming as the narrative structure is quite formulaic.
Elfed in New York is a self-published small urban fantasy series about a regular human girl who suddenly found herself being an elf.
There's a heavily cliched story line with mystery murders by shadowy government agency and a wannabe rookie journalist.
There's a rough writing with lots of typos, misspellings, and general grammar murders that never saw a pass by any kind of editor.
But the characters are fun, and have genuine personalities with believable interactions. There are some funny and touching moments. It's just a short cozy read.
Kobo edition is alright, but the styles did not translate well, so formatting is messy (but still readable).
