    About this audiobook

    A cynical, disabled film director with borderline personality disorder gets recruited to join a secret organization that oversees relations between Hollywood and Fairyland in this Nebula Award–nominated and Tiptree Award Honor Book that’s the first novel in a new urban fantasy series from debut author Mishell Baker.

    A year ago, Millie lost her legs and her filmmaking career in a failed suicide attempt. Just when she’s sure the credits have rolled on her life story, she gets a second chance with the Arcadia Project: a secret organization that polices the traffic to and from a parallel reality filled with creatures straight out of myth and fairy tales.

    For her first assignment, Millie is tasked with tracking down a missing movie star who also happens to be a nobleman of the Seelie Court. To find him, she’ll have to smooth-talk Hollywood power players and uncover the surreal and sometimes terrifying truth behind the glamour of Tinseltown. But stronger forces than just her inner demons are sabotaging her progress, and if she fails to unravel the conspiracy behind the noble’s disappearance, not only will she be out on the streets, but the shattering of a centuries-old peace could spark an all-out war between worlds.

    No pressure.

    • 5/5
      Loved it. A great insight into borderline personality with a cool and engaging plot.
    • 2/5
      Some reviews say this book deals with mental illness and disability. It does not. Those conditions are used in very shallow manner in a very shallow book. I was riveted at the beginning because it seemed to use BPD in a genuine and funny way, but turned into bizarre fantasy with too many characters and world building rules, and random utilization of BPD coping techniques. It is "cinematic", not literary. Disappointing.
