When her boss assigns her a VIP case, Claire assumes it’s more of the same. But Frankie, her client, seems to be the deserving underdog of the olden days.

Tread Lightly The Window Shopping Collection Book 1 edition by Catherine Lane Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Claire is a top-level fairy godmother who’s been doing the godmothering gig for years. Bonded to her magic wand, Claire is in high demand to help the love-lost to find their true loves, or very nearly so.
However, the more modern sensibilities, and precocious demands of her clients, make the godmothering business trickier than it ever was. When Claire is given a VIP case by her boss, she winds up in hot water with demons, guardian angels and even a fallen angel.
It doesn’t help that her competition, a guardian angel called Tamiel, is gorgeous and clearly more interested in Claire than the client.
This is a fun tale of godmothering in the 21st century, with a lovely lesbian twist. It isn’t a long book, but Lane has given us enough depth to the story and the characters to feel engaged in their adventures, and not long enough to ever get tedious. Lane has managed the length of the story really well. It is a delight from start to finish.
Claire is fun, smart, and getting a bit bored by the consistency of it all. The new challenge presented by the VIP case, and having to deal with her ingrained prejudices from the Fairy Godmother Council, provide a refreshing spark to the day. Combine that with an unhappy boss, a hierarchy of colleagues, and competition from outside the firm, and we have a very modern take on on godmothering.
I really enjoyed this. It didn’t take long to read and was a delightful sojourn into an urban fantasy. I don’t know if Lane is planning to take the series further, but she has set it up well in case she does. I’d definitely read the next installment, should it come along. Enjoy.
Advanced reading copy provided by NetGalley for an honest review.
This is a fairy-light and fluffy take on the urban fantasy genre. It combines familiar supernatural elements from legend (guardian angels, demons) and fairy tales (meddling, wand-wielding godmothers) practicing their anachronistic magical arts on modern-day teens—a generation of jaded, spoilt, me-first, and instant-gratification young adults, with...unexpected and sometimes hilarious results.
Claire is a fairy godmother. As fairy godmothers go, she is legendary, having been responsible for one of the most famous ‘interventions’ in all of…fairy tale history. You know..the one where she turned mice into men and slapped the ultimate midnight curfew on her charge? Anyway, centuries later, she is still at it—busy sprinkling fairy magic with her wand and nudging (or shoving) her charge at their destined HEA. But ‘princesses’ nowadays are a far cry from the olden days. And they’re a demanding lot too. Designer clothes. Jimmy Choos. The all-important Instagram selfie after the makeover. What is an old-fashioned fairy godmother to do?
Adding to her stress level is an unsympathetic, politicking boss; mysterious, wily beings called ‘Guardian Angels’ who are out to steal their clients from under their noses; and other dark creatures like demons and fallen angels. Or rumors of them.
The book starts off great with a fun intervention. I really enjoyed the cheeky set-up. But fantasy fans shouldn’t get their hopes up too much. As the read % on my e-reader started creeping up alarmingly fast, I found out belatedly that this is just a novella of only 35,000 words. The world-building is interesting, but simplistic. The many plot holes and the humorous tone makes the whole story almost a parody. That was probably the intent. However, things started to heat up and get serious and it became something of a paranormal thriller. But then the all-important conflict isn’t over worlds, or territory or even just one single soul, lol. If I had to pigeonhole this book, it would be ‘Urban Fantasy Lite’, with emphasis on the Lite. This isn’t something written to tug one’s heart, or rock one’s senses, or move one’s soul. What the book is, is a nice bit of light entertainment. Good for a few chuckles and a relaxing bit of afternoon reading. There is a feel-good vibe throughout. The paranormal stuff makes it more mysterious and action-packed than the usual lesbian romance, but ultimately, it’s just window-dressing..like an alternate-reality spell. Remove that and you have a rather thin, and pretty much one-sided romance. Very little drama and almost no romantic conflict. What this book does excel at is keeping the reader guessing. Nothing is at it seems and no one is who they appear to be. Predictable it is not. And that’s good enough in my book. That, and there’s this one intimate scene I’ve never read in lesfic before..or ever imagined physically possible. ;) Oh, and that scandalous wand-case. LOL.
4 stars
ARC from Ylva
P.S. This might be the first time ever...but I think this is the only book I've ever read where an object outshone every single character in the book. I think it had more character development, a more compelling story arc, and certainly a much bigger role in the resolution of the plot than any other character, human or otherwise. ;)
This was a really fun read. It was a fast read, but really worked for me. I typically do not like short stories or novellas, but again this one did a fantastic job. I was also happy it was different than a typical urban fantasy read. Leads are a fairy godmother, and a guardian angel. When I first started the book I wasn’t sure about it, but I laughed several times while reading it, chuckled a few more so for it being a short easy read I feel like it was a good pickup. I am also unsure if it would appeal to the urban fantasy folks as it would to more of a chick lit crowd with a little urban fantasy thrown in. I liked it. The only bit I would like to change is I really could have used a bit more. I just like solid reads, though of course it is personal preference. Good idea though, and I am really looking forward to the future books in the Window Shopping Collection.
Cute, quick little read. Wands being found in a natural environment had me chuckling at the end for sure.
This book had a lot of potential, but the author tried to cram too much into 113 pages. It just wasn't long enough to fully explore any of the threads. Wait until this one goes on sale to buy it.
Amazing things happened; healing, angelic visitations, fallen angel, human, demons, magical abilities and a delightful unpredictable twist. The story line keeps you enthralled and it was pretty original. There are some terrific elements. Such as the scene a few feet above the ground and the new wand. It make me chuckle just thinking about this wand. The romance does not play a large role but was sufficiently present for a romance lover like me. I have enjoyed this book immensely.
