2023 book 190

 Juliet McKenna's The Green Man's Heir

This was an interesting start to a series, about a man whose mother is a dryad, which means he'll live an extra long time, and can also see magical creatures. For the first half, he gets caught up in a mystery involving a serial killer, and I was like, this is fine but I don’t want to read a series about magical serial killers. But in the second half, he teams up with a woman who also has dryad blood to battle a different supernatural threat, and I found that much more engaging. It ends in a place that makes me curious about what comes next, too. So we'll see how book two goes! B+.
