Never promise a fey anything.
With magic leaking back into our world, working the nightshift as a paramedic comes with danger. But I handle it. I’ve got a shotgun for the zombies and my lycanthropic rage hasn’t escaped my apartment. Life is normal-ish. All that changes when I’m called to help a dying fey knight and I make a promise.
There’s a little girl with big eyes and a heart-rending sniffle. I can’t say no. Of course she’s not human. She’s their key to opening the long-closed gates and feasting on humanity.
Now an entire world I know nothing about is trying to kill me. And if I don’t protect her, the teeth around my heart will finish the job. If I learn fast and bargain the right parts of my soul, the girl and I might make it out alive. Otherwise the cruelest winter will freeze even the warmest hearts in the city.
Read my story now and ride along for a wild Emergency Shift.
Emergency Shift is book one in The Full Moon Medic series by Daniel Potter.
I picked this one up because of the blurb and title, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me.
I’m so confused after reading this book. Why I say this is; because I was lost throughout the novel trying to understand what was going on and where the story was going. Nothing was clear.
The author references events that previously happened and so, I felt like I was missing a book. Which is weird; because this is the first book in the series. Then we have the world-building which there is none.
As for the characters they felt weird, one-dimensional, and kind of rough.
I wanted to like this novel, but Emergency Shift was a hard read for me. It had some interesting things, but being confused and not understanding the world took away my enjoyment.
Rated: 2 Stars

About Daniel Potter
DANIEL POTTER writes about creatures that are generally considered highly improbable, from talking cats, flying reptiles made of living metal and people who sprout foot long talons when annoyed. As a biologist he should know better but he’s always ready to leave reality outside if he needs too, no matter how much it scratches at the door. He’s the author of three series, Freelance Familiars, a unique and proper take on urban fantasy from the familiar’s perspective, Rise of the Horned Serpent which is best described as Sky Pirates Versus Dragons, and The Full Moon Medic, where the end of the world is magic.
When he’s not chasing his imagination, his imagination is usually chasing him, whether while he’s cooking lunch for his spouse, playing video game or fending off two cats who always insist it’s dinner time.

Oh no! Sorry this one didn’t work for you. You are better than me because from what you say I probably wouldn’t have made it all the way through. Thanks for your review!

I’m not sure how I made it through. I really want to like this one. The cover and blurb got me, but once I started I was confused. Kept hoping things would be unconfusing, but nope. Thanks for visiting.
Yeah, that would definitely make reading hard going. I wonder if this is one of those “new” series that is really a spin-off or continuation that wasn’t marked as such.
I looked into it and couldn’t find anything saying it’s a spin-off or continuation of a series. It felt like it could have been. This was my first time with this author. At least it was a KU read. Thanks for visiting!
How frustrating. Sorry it didn’t work out. The cover is cute.
Yep, the cover is cute and that and blurb got me interested in the book, but just didn’t work out. Thanks for visiting.
