Defiance has lost all her career and money in a nasty divorce. She then inherits a huge mansion and learns that she is not as human as she thinks she is, and other people need her newly found talents.

I enjoy Darynda's writing because it is fantasy filled with witty dialogues, but this felt a little rushed. Not plot pace, but the way characters and back stories were written: people pop up and go away immediately, things happen to Defiance when she should know better and I wasn't expecting that from a 40-year old character. And then everything is solved in a blink of an eye. I expected more consistency.
