Characters: Interesting enough people, but no one I'd like to get to know better.
Plot: Interesting and pretty unique.
Worldbuilding: Rather vague and uninspiring. It was honestly rather disappointing that apparently all magic users are criminals [or crime-adjacent].

Phenomenal book from two great people & authors! Enjoyed this book from page one, which throws you in deep quickly and the pace rarely let's up until a satisfying conclusion.
I also can't decide whether the elevator or the dragon was my favorite character.

Excellent YA reimagined Lois Lane working for Perry White as a juvenile. Still solid, stubborn, strong, relentless Lois no matter the age. Well done, Gwenda Bond! Now to get the next book...

Contemporary romance with magic abilities and demon.
Dani Poissant is the daughter of a famous art thief. At seventeen, and fearing the mysterious influence of Archer, Dani worked with the FBI to stop her mother and crew from using their magic to steal. Ten years later, Dani is forced to go back to her mother’s crew to help her steal a painter of Archer that dates back to 1890. She has questions, but so do all those she betrayed. Why would they work with her again or trust her?
The magical elements are intriguing. Dani can reproduce a masterpiece that will fool the experts. Sunflower, the dog was my favorite character.
There are a lot of secondary characters that make up crew with unique abilities as well but needed a list to keep track of everyone. Unfortunately I lost interest at about 25% and it took me a few months to find the time to get back to it. Picking it up again, I was hoping for a unique magical painting switch but the demon manipulation, the FBI, and trying to reflame an old crush felt forced and unfocused for me.
This is the second disappointing read for me by this author. With so much new each month, it will probably be my last.
The ending is happy and successful.
