Fowl Play: A Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count) Kindle Edition

by R.J. Blain (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,136
See all formats and editions
Warning: contains humor, romance, magic, puns, bodies, and a short detour from reality. No plots were harmed in the making of this story.

Instead of a quiet dance retreat where she could escape the insanity of being the daughter of an angel, a succubus, and a lycanthrope, Emma Sansaul plummets into the middle of murder, mayhem, and mischief. As becoming the next victim of a crazed serial killer is not on her itinerary, she's left with no choice but to join forces with Agent Kenneth Bernard to find the murderer, the one man on Earth capable of making her hissing mad one second and in need of a cold shower the next.

This story can be read as a standalone.

4.0 out of 5 stars short but sweet

I really enjoy the background world in this universe - it’s one of the main reasons I am sticking with this series. The inventiveness of the magic system, the lycanthropes and the other denizens make it worth reading. Plus, they are funny, if repetitive. Fade to black, if that’s your thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bottom line, good book, well written, but maybe check out preview before committing to it.

In the latest Magical Romantic Comedy (With A Body Count), RJ Blain has changed her writing tone for a (what seems to be a one-off) delve into a less frenzied pace.

If you loved the others in this series, I'd suggest you take a look at the preview pages before buying to check out if you can handle the tome change

Cons:
- It's not as action sequenced, which might frustrate some.

-the characters aren't quite as in your face so it may be harder to relate to them

-different style :

Part of the series' appeal so far is each prior book has been full of devil-may-care, rapid fire actions and interactions, propelling the storyline along at rocket pace. By contrast, Fowl Play is more of a whodunnit than an action flick
---

Pros:
- The difference in style doesn't mean that less happens,but rather the illusion of it happening less rapidly.
- I like whodunnits
- doesn't take itself too seriously
-i found it an interesting change of pace.

Bottom line, good book, well written, but maybe check out preview before committing to it because of different style.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilariously irreverent
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2018

Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to have both angel and succubus as a mom with a lycanthrope as a dad? Emma Sansaul can tell you all about it. All Emma wants is to have some alone time from her family and dance at her week long retreat. Instead she's stuck helping an annoying FBI agent solve a murder, dealing with her folks trying to sell her off to said agent and keeping her own hands off of said agent. I did find the story a bit jumpy and had to read two of the scenes a couple of times to see where the author was taking us. I do enjoy this series and find them a nice departure from every day life.
This series is irreverent, full of snark and the laughs are contagious, much like the virus that runs rampant through the stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, magic and addictive story!
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2018

I laughed and cheered as I read Emma's story! She's a nontraditional heroine who is funny, cranky (with good reason), and is a truly relatable character. Emma leaves town for a dance seminar, and on the plane she meets the cop who had arrested her for a prank set up by her mom, her ma, and her dad. As the seminar begins, so does the body count, and Emma and Kenneth try to solve the murders and solve their growing attraction to each other while avoiding her interfering family.
Hilarious, great read that draws you in on page one and you can't put this one down!
Part of RJ Blain's Mag Rom Com sensational series ... truly excellent.
I highly recommend this book and series ... purchase these because you're going to want to read and re-read these!

I really enjoy Emma and Kenneth’s interactions and how we get to watch their relationship develop.
Seriously fowl play (and I adore the punny name) is one of my favourites in the mag rom com series even though it is one of the shorter stories RJ has written for it.

Reviewed in Canada on October 19, 2018

Full disclosure, I buy everything RJ writes. It's never what I expect from the description in the best possible way. Like some of the other reviewers I wish it was a full book and not a novella because I always want more. Loved the banter between the characters and would love to have them pop up as supporting characters in another book in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, mysterious and well paced
Reviewed in Australia on January 12, 2019

Imagine having a lycanthrope dad, an angel mum plus an incubus mum. That’s a recipe for one hell of an interesting life, throw in a genuinely good cop who happens to be hot and our girl has one hell of not so relaxing retreat to try to get to when all she wants to do is dance.

A comedy with a little bit of serial killer thrown in, it’s definitely a twist on a romantic comedy but a great story to lose yourself in.

Funny from the start to the end. Bizarre murders and a cranky lycanthrope makes for fantastically fun read. As usual a comedy with a body count. Great read
