The Shifting Price of Prey is the fourth book in the Spellcrackers series. Genny is temporary boss of Spellcrackers and business is going well under her command. Life has gotten easier for Genny, she has acquired two new house mates in the form of pregnant Slyvia and her boyfriend, who live in a magical wardrobe in between. Unfortunately the happy ending of the previous book wasn't as neat as Genny had hoped. The Fae are still having problems with their fertility and look to Genny to solve it. Like the previous books the author throws in a couple of murders and kidnappings into the mix. Malik and Finn reappear and Genny finally gets down and dirty without actually choosing which gorgeous supernatural male she wants to be with. The author introduces more of the supernatural world Genny inhabits. Some weird, wonderful and some truly icky. Unlike the other books The Shifting Price of Prey ends on a cliff hanger. I'm looking forward to the next book as I liked the direction the plot has taken and I am interested in learning more about Genny's Sidhe side of the family. The Spellcrackers series continues to be on of my very favorites. Top 10 for sure! Book was purchased by me. This is the fourth book in the series and continues Genny's adventures as she tries to unravel her, somewhat muddled, family history, the current state of her love life, and keep a handle on all the problems involving the Fae and Vampires popping up in London. Genny's innervoice really makes these stories for me. She sounds just like me when she forgets something or realizes she has made a mistake she can't take back. The twists and turns in this novel just keep coming and while we have some foreshadowing look out for the reality, wow just didn't see that coming! If you haven't read these then I suggest you start. At this time the first three books are available in the US, but this one you will have to pick up from the UK. Such a shame the marketing in the US didn't do these justice. Spoilers ahead from the previous books so stop reading if you haven't read them yet! Genny and company realize their big fix for the Fertility Curse wasn't a "big" fix at all but only on a small scale so she continues to make cracking the curse her priority. Along the way she continues to be torn between Finn and Malik and there are some bizarre twists in her triangle. The Carnival has come to town and it is set to turn London upside down. The Vamps are up for a huge power play and there are more shifters under the moon than Genny ever imagined. Genny is in for one wild ride!Coming next in the UK only (as of now) "The Hidden Rune of Iron" June 2013.
