Valiant: A Modern Tale of Faerie

(3) YA Val runs away from a problem at home but discovers greater trials on the streets of New York City in this gritty urban fantasy. While making deliveries of magical potions (which she and her new friends also use to shoot up), Val becomes entangled in a faerie murder mystery. The realistic and fantasy scenes are woven skillfully together. An edgy, but ultimately life-affirming read.
