Hard-drinking petty thief Dellaria Wells is down on her luck in the city of Leiscourt -- again. Then she sees a want ad for a female bodyguard, and she fast-talks her way into the high-paying job. Along with a team of other women, she's meant to protect a rich young lady from mysterious assassins. At first Delly thinks the danger is exaggerated, but a series of attacks shows there's much to fear. Then she begins to fall for Winn, one of the other bodyguards, and the women team up against a mysterious, magical foe who seems to have allies everywhere.

i enjoyed this a lot. it's silly, low-ish stakes and i would murder for winn. it was a good read after something really heavy and dense and i wished i could have spent more time with delly and winn after the end.
Meh. Several times I forgot what the main plot was because the story stayed overlong on this topic or that. Many things just weren't interesting to me.
The book is set in a steampunk Victorian setting. I really enjoyed the story of Delly and Winn throughout the story. Winn's saying “what” after each sentence was a bit annoying at first but I grew to like it. I liked that a bunch of “witches” getting together to stop the drug trade especially since they are from different backgrounds.
I hope there is a sequel to this story.
Very enjoyable world, with great characters, and growth.
Buttons is the best character.
